Good swim, well done. Hope the injury gets better soon.
Went out on the bike today as I had the day off.... It was bloody windy :-()
Peter Reid interview was very good, sounds like a really down to earth person. Ironman talk makes great listening for turbo sessions.
I enjoy NYC, but guess its a different kettle of fish living there. Trouble is I think that in the USA most of the time they havent a clue what you are talking about, unless its American, they dont seem to know much about the rest of the world - no matter what language you speak.

"But you arent speaking Swahili"
New bike is on it's way!!!
I did the Kingston 16miler this morning, freezing at the start and quite windy. Did 2hr16min52secs, not too bad for me. Not looking forward to running 10miles longer in 3 weeks time!

Should arrive in about three weeks!
Managed 94 miles on bike today, running isn't going well though, shin splints have put me out for about three weeks
I went for a massage last night, legs feel much better this morning. I'm looking forward to the weekend and some good weather. Planning a 70mile bike on Friday.
Good luck for friday
I've decided that triathletes are pretty fit people though, when I did my first running event there were all sorts of people, all these triathlete seemed to be uber elite 2.3% body fat sorts. Quite scary, but I didn't lose so I must be getting there myself
Hope everyone is enjoying the long weekend and maybe even getting some training in too, well we need to burn off those eggs
I've had a good training weekend up to now, just need to force myself to go for a 45min run now. Weather has been great, did 80miles on the bike on Friday.
Only 2 weeks to go to FLM, so no more long rides until after that.
Did you all get your email about buying a race T-shirt with all the participants names on it? Looks pretty cool actually.
I hope I can keep up with Rachel tomorrow.
BTW, 6:38, for the 1st 400m of a 30 minutes swim. Not telling you the next splits.
Great new bike on the way Harry.
Body Fat, anybody need some, I have loads to share. When do we start loosing weight on this IM training???
Body fat is good it means you have a good reserve, my skelator body has nothing to offer!
I've lost quite a lot of weight, when I started training my weight fluctuates but I've started eating properly and have found I've lost a lot of weight. Maybe I should start eating more pizza?
When does everyone start their taper, I start three weeks before the event
Harry, most people start tapering 3 weeks out. I hate tapering!!
It looked really busy out there, mustve been a nightmare trying to get through everyone in parts.
I did a whole 3miles off the bike today...heh heh was knackered.
OW swim went well on Sat morning, really getting into it now, at least you dont stink of chlorine when you get out.
BTW have you ordered your official race t-shirt if you want one, apparantly they run out quite quickly.
I flew to South America on Sunday night(not the recommend practice after a marathon!) so haven´t been online. I had a pretty rubbish race, 4hrs13min, but not that gutted as I didn´t really taper. Took 20min for the first 2 miles! It was ridiculously crowded, it is the 5th time I´ve done FLM but never again. For the first 10miles the main objective was to avoid tripping over. The organizers definitely need to consider reducing the number of entrants. Anyway rant over. Must add the race T-shirt finally made it to the 20th century and is drifit! Looking forward to get back to training for the IM and then I want to train properly for an end of the year marathon.
Emmy, which marathon are you thinking about?
