I had to turbo on Saturday which means I did 2.5hrs instead of the 3.5/4 hrs I would have done on the road.
I didn't swim on Sunday (logistics of the session and getting to the pool) but I did run for 2 hrs.
So my bike was a bit light and I've missed a swim. Allegedly we're due another dumping. I get a bit frustrated with the turbos and the logistics of trying to get to the pool if the roads are frozen and I can't get my car out of my street (live on a side road/hill). I walked home from swimming today but I don't really have the time to walk to and from the pool.
'It is what it is' as a wise man once said, a thaw is expected this weekend and then we will be back to near normal having missed all but a week, fret not and it will all come together again
But i have some mojo again as i have booked up a few additional summer events - bike london to paris in 3 days arriving the same day as the end of the tour. yip yip
Also considering newcastle to london bike ride in 24 hrs.....
Managed 1 swim last week and 3 bike commutes and a couple of short turbos
This week 3 swims 4 bike commutes and maybe a long ride.
Just trying to slowly build bike volume and confidence again.
Symes. i might need wet and dry paper for the wheels..? What do you recon...
Not as much as I would have liked in terms of extension but currently catching up fast on weekly volume but fading in strength as fast due to adductor cramping.
No winter rides for me since I crashed in 2011. Same as Rafi however, 2h is pretty much my limit so I have to double book my cycling or just keep it almost daily. My plan has a 6days a week bike cycle 2 weeks from now anyway. My legs are killing me so adaptations seem to be working fine.
Off to swim now at lunchtime and tonight I will do a short warmup overgear turbo and a 6 mile run.

if your roads are fine Rafiki I'm catching a train to stay for a few days as i am going stir crazy doing the cycing on the turbo
Main roads here are fine, not so sure about the lanes but then again I am out on my mountain bike at the moment for the longer (and shorter) rides
Any excuse Seren.

Is that the Sky bike ride OC? Friend did it last year and thought it was brilliant.
Progress
Swimming is awesome
Biking is cold
Running is getting there
Was anything agreed on this? I was going to ask about the same thing. I am going to go to Lanza anyway March end so please post here or PM as desired.
OC - I'd think 600 grit should do the job
Progress
Swimming - not since November but I did 2km that time
Biking - 100 mile a week in commutes, longest ride otherwise 40
Running - bits n pieces
Currently life or rather work is winning the battle for my time, not happy!
Progress ,,, mmm

That was almost the whole of 2012 for me. Not happy indeed. Hope you get some rhythm back soon for your sanity.

If anyone would know...
Less of the old thank you!!
