Daily Training

Friday 31/12

Swim – 2.04km (36m17s)

Cycle – 28.2mls (1hr41m26s)

Run – 6.1mls (47m10s)

Had a crazy busy training day! Spurred on by the lack of recent exercise and that there’s now just 100 days to the event!

Still having problems with the bike. The seat post thinks it knows better than me as to what height it should be and there’s still a grinding noise coming from the crank.

Anyhew – time to have a beer and watch the New Year in....

I hope whatever challenges are on your horizon become fulfilled!

Happy New Year to you all...

Daily Training

28/12 – Swim – 4.04km (1hr17m48s)

30/12 – Run – 6mls (56m33s)

Hope everyone is having a great festive break!

Training has been a bit sporadic these last few days. Lots of commitments with friends and family to contend with.

Did manage to have a couple of nice runs with Karen though... And pulled in a long swim – slightly longer than the IRONMAN distance even... Wish the running and cycling was coming along as well as the pool work.

Daily Training

Friday 24/12

Swim – 1km (18m22s)

Cycle – 21.92mls (1hr24m02s)

Was great to finally get out on the bike. Spent more time off it though, as the geometry was all out. Had set it all up on a turbo trainer, but so different in the real world.

Beautiful day though, but sooooo cold!!!

Anyhew –MERRY CHRISTMAS to all... :-)

Cycling Richmond Park

Daily Training

Thursday 23/21

Swim – 3.2km (1hr 2m 15s)

Bit of a rest day for the legs today. Had a nice long swim though.

No work Friday (Yipeee) so plan to get the new bike out and do a few laps around Richmond Park. Assuming the weather is kind...

The New Bike

Daily Training

Wednesday 22/12

Swim – 0.8km (14m18s)

Bike – 13mls

Run – 8mls (1hr 5m 20s)

Had a pretty busy day today. Woke up to find the majority of the snow had cleared so decided to get the bike out to cycle to work and back.

Had a quick swim first, to warm up, and then hopped on the mountain bike to Dulwich.

Still haven’t used the new road bike yet. (In case you haven’t heard both me and Karen had our bikes stolen out of the garage by the local street rats – grrr). Hopefully will be able to have a blast on it Friday...

Anyhew, got back from work and had a lazy 8ml jog on the treadmill before heading to the pub... Happy days!

Tuesday 21/12

Had a decent swim this morning, 2.4km (44m33s). Felt pretty good but still too much snow around to cycle to work! Grrr...

After work went for a very slippery 1.5ml run around the block.

Daily Training

Monday 20/12 - Did a quick 1.2km swim before work (21m25s) and then a 10k run in the evening (45m39s). No cycling today as the snows still around. Booo

Tuesday 21st Dec - 110 days to go

Finally plucked up the courage to enter the Ironman today. Lots to do!

Been considering this for a few weeks now... started a training plan from 20 weeks. Were now in week 16...

Its been going ok... Swimming is well on schedule. Running not too worried about... But the cycle is scary!!! Never cycled so far! And the bike training is currently none existent!!!
