Afraid not but will be in the general area that weekend so if able will heckle you.
Brilliant! All heckling will be appreciated
Longest ride time and run for months this week done.
Four hour sportive in Cotswold at the weekend then got my hubby to take me to work with him so I could run home 8.5 miles.
packed pre buttered malt loaf slices fit in cycle jersey pockets a treat.
I'll have what Red Stripe's on...buttered malt loaf food of champions!
That's a great effort R.S. you must be really pleased.
2 hr run yesterday but swimming is on hold till I see the physio
off to look for Banana malt loaf now.
6 hours endurance drinking at office christmas do done at Z2 pace last night, Z4 level baggy head this morning rest day methinks
Took this week off as I just felt clattered. A steady 30 minute run this morning and going to gradually get back on it once Christmas is over. Still have not picked a race though.
90 mins on the bike today.... caught up with a local cycling club at train crossing.... offered a chance to sit on the group.... got dropped by local cycling club about 1/2 mile after crossing.....
90 mins watching Leicester City V Burnley at the King Power....now off to the garage to turbo for 60 mins!
Training PROPER starts next week, yeah, that's it, next week.
Well, it seems I may be a little fitter than I thought I was.
Had a 10k today and, since I haven't run further than 3 miles since about August was expecting to struggle. However, although it was slow, I managed to pace it right with just enough left in the tank to race the clock to a sub 70. Like I said, not quick but much better than expected.
Now I've no excuse not to train a bit harder!
A wet and slippy 13 miler cross country with some mates...great!
1hr run.... lovely quiet Sunday morning, out into the countryside... nothing but birdsong and my heavy breathing (ooooer)... can't be beaten!
Mucky, wet filthy MTB fun this morning followed straight off by a quick run with Wilson the mighty Irondog, all in all a good weeks training
Looking forward to delivery of my pirate jacket to warm up my morning commutes big thanks to Smunks for all the hard work on the kit
Hi all - new to the forum but not to IM, and training for Nice next year, with the planned arrival of my first child in April promising to make it a less-than-stellar season!
The long run in the rain today was surprisingly enjoyable as I ease back in after a 3-month recovery period though...
Two rain soaked hour on the bike this morning where I was wetter than my dry weather 8.5 mile run on friday when some twat in a white van deliberately soaked me from a very muddy puddle then tooted to congratulate himself
Fun santa run run yesterday though through town centre, entertained shoppers in farmers market
Everyone seems to be bang at it at the minute, i had saterday, sunday and Today off this week, as the other half was away getting smashed for the weekend while i head in into month 5 with not a drop (which is a good effort for me). after my coulple of days off tho a feel like i need a bit of inspiration to get me back on the Wales band wagon.
Any special words of wisdom going spare........
Trotter, you're in training to start training. The more you do now, the less it'll hurt later
Today I've been for a swim - my first since Outlaw! Only did 1600m but at least I remember how to do it
Cycle to work confirmation email came today, so a new bike heading my way soon!
Will sell my current Giant and add to the £1000 certificate so should have about £1800 to spend. Any recommendations?
Thinking road not TT to cope with the hills of Wales.
Swimming coming on steadily thanks to all of your advice, especially yours M...eldy about not trying to take in too much and relaxing. Cheers all.
Did a boot camp this morning but made the mistake of sitting down when I came home from work so the swim never happened...schoolboy error! Down the pool at 6.30am tomorrow it is then.
Did spin and boot camp this morning. Sport massage this afternoon (hopefully will sort my back out!) pulled something yesterday after doing deadlifts!
a 1 hour tempo ride that just felt rubbish. When's it summer?
wheels come off this week, 3 xmas partys done, 2 more to go not good, roll on new year!
After 6 months of uninterrupted training get a dirty, near fatal dose of manflu at IM Austria minus 30 weeks.
10 days of hacking up lungs later I have finally got a turbo done on the official campaign.
If you've been training for 6 months already Pugsley, you probably needed a bit of a break
Iron Pugsley - Well done on surviving Manfluenza, many don't!
Hopefully that's the illness out of the way now, but make sure you eat well, getting plenty of antioxidants from food and or supplements to boost your immune system while you're training hard.
1750m swim in I hour at the pool tonight...I'll take that.
It's possibly a bit early to declare survival. A drip of snot just fell from my nose.
just completed a 45min run.... needed it, after a day at work dressed as an elf.... yes, an elf.
The things I do to avoid having to do any actual work......
