A fantastic weekend of training started with a 22k run on Saturday, 2 hours with a HR average of 130, good to keep it low and I felt I could keep going all day (despite the tsunami as I turned for home), would be happy with this pace and a slightly sub 4 hour marathon at the end of the ironman.
2k Swim set this morning (probably too much talking and not enough swimming)
The wind was howling outside but someone said the fatal words afterwards "whos up for the bike"
4 hours later and getting close to 100k (well maybe 90 and change) - i'm now following not only in JP's fumes but also SC!
Apparently there was no point in me hitting the front anyway as, i quote "its impossible to draft a gerbil"
It made me realise my bike has come a long way since last summer but I still have some way to go to get to where I want to be. Really enjoyed the ride and excited by the prospect of this group building each week. Has sapped my legs of energy though - rest day tomorrow!
Date with my sofa now for the rest of the evening.....
