Going to try and cycle a couple of times a week, good extra miles!
JB, midnight sun mara sounds interesting. Is it hard to get into?
Smithy..Beckham is that bloke who married some posh spice girl.
Thanks for the tips re alcohol, I had some moderation last night but nothing too dramatic. However, we are hoping to exchange on a house buy today (actually been waiting since Monday) and if we don't there's a risk the chain might collapse so I might have challenged to keep it to moderation whichever way it goes......
Managed to get my heart rate to 108% of max on the treadmill this mornin'....
LL
think you can still get in, accommadation is apparently the problem cos its a small town, but I think the organisers reserve some specially
I will boing the thread for you it has other website links
it the tromso midnight sun marathon thread or similiar
I won't do it this year but was more asking is it hard to get into like FLM has a ballot.
C1 after watching FLM, I sort of fancy doing one this year.
....if I had a pub I'd call it Moderation
me and big dave are hoping to head to your neck of the woods for the weekend, do you fancy meeting for a bike ride and a pub lunch on sunday?
we will be camping in the new forest probably
let me know and we can arrange times etc
I wont get on line until this afternoon probably
Thanks for asking. I will have a think. I at coached swimming tomorrow morning for an hour and then doing a 35-40 mile ride with my friend (first long ride).
I'll ask my other half what we've planned. It's our running club's night out tomorrow night so I may not be at my best Sunday!
I did take some iron supplements in my local last night whilst discussing the topic of estate agents and integrity...get back to me or email me..
that should read anything except fast
just about to leave for the new forest. have everything but the kitchen sink!
anyway, C1 and LL you both have my mobile number, would be great to meet up with one or both of you.
after all the food I ate last night I think I need to do at least 100 miles tomorrow!!!
hope your legs are recovering from the hills!
got rained out last night, every thing soggy, think we need to practice putting up our new tent
Managed my first sea swim on Sunday. I'm very impressed with how warm the wetsuit kept me. Found it hard to swim with the waves but I'm glad I have tried it. Not really looking forward to the lake swim though, I bet the water tastes disgusting.

Mon - 3.5 mile run
Tues - 6 mile run
Wed - rest
Thurs - cycled to and from work 12 miles
- 5 mile run
Fri - nothing
Sat - Swim 1700m
- 40 mile bike ride
Sun - sea swim (not far more trying out wetsuit)
Monday - 45 min thrash on the bike
Tues - Nothing
Wed - 11k run
Thurs - Weights/treadmill interval run
Friday - 2k swim
Sat - 16j run
Sun - 61K bike
Mon - 16k bike/7k run brick
Sunday bike was with Jellybean and Wee Dave. We popped over to the Isle of Wight and managed to pick the same day as the 100K round the Isle trip. I have now been initiated as a Pirate but I must say I felt that the business with the pointy carrot, cheese grater and vinegar a bit unnecessary but if that's what it takes....
Mon Swim 45 min AM PM 20 min run and weights
Tue 30 Min Run AM PM 2 Hour ride
Wed 45 min Swim AM PM 90 min Ride
Thu 30 min Run and weights
Fri Nowt
Sat 4 Hour Ride (70 miles)
Sun 1 Hour Swim AM PM 90 min bike
Mon 1 hour run.
That is much more like it, and I feel a lot better for it. A lot better. Did 45 mins in the pool this AM too....
Entered the Vitruvian at the weekend. Will look at other racing in a couple of weeks when I see how I feel.
Les...excellent stuff with the wetsuit and sea swim..hoping to get some of that done myself in the coming weeks..
Next year however,........
C1 you did a very long ride on Sunday well done! I am glad I covered the miles Saturday and it's the furthest I've ever cycled. Need to build up speed before half IM though as it took me 3 hours.
I'll not be doing much training this week. Got the Hockey Masters Divisionals in Aldershot this weekend..six matches over two days...that'll test the fitness a tad...
I have just realised I don't have much time to train this week - dancing Wed, meeting some friends Thurs and a work do Fri! I'm doing the Dorchester Triathlon this Sunday so I don't mind an easier week.
Less than 7 weeks til half IM UK! Eeek!
training for me
swim 25 and 30 mins
run 40, 55 and 65 mins
bike 14 and 45 miles

we were thinking of taking our wetsuits but chickened out, wish we had now
