Carl - 6am? I have to get up at 5am on weekdays and am in my office by 6:30!
JD - the forecast was lying! It was REALLY windy and it pissed down with rain for half an hour in the middle of my ride. Just as well as I was a bit too hot today!
3.30 bike and 30 minute run done.
Off out for lunch now!
Barley - have you gone yet?!
Hi IW, hope you got my relpy from the other website, yep I am the same person
Have completed an 1hr 30 on the turbo this morning, using aero bars for the firt time as well. For fun, I thought I would try my first run right afterwards! Legs went a bit funny for the first few yards, but after that the legs were ok and was back into a normal run.
I did a 10 mile run in shorts and tshirt and was still warm
crazy weather
I think Carl is just ignoring the posts and texts, knowing that we'll think he's out training, but he's probably sitting in front of the TV!!
I have sat here all day but then I am at work and cant go anywhere else!
what could I have done for the last 9 hours?
1:45 swim
6:55 bike
4:55 run
Off for a sauna and jacuzzi now though followed by a lovely carvery roast, i think i have earnt it
65 mins turbo today, including 3 x (1min at 95,2mins @100, 3mins @ 105rpm), followed by a 30-min T-run, and some weights/core exercises.
LJS gave me a balance board, doing core exercises on that is surprisingly difficult.
My training since Monday:
Swim 2:10
Bike 4:45
Run 3:42
Bit rubbish really, not being well yesterday didn't help... would have been out on bike instead of a paltry 45 mins on the turbo!
My training for the week was 10.35 I think.
4.18 on the bike and 2.16 on the turbo
3.53 run
8 minutes swimming (the NYD tri)
Gom - yes, I got the message thanks. The pressure is on!
$hit week for me at a pathetic 4.5 hours.

Back to work tomorrow.........
so, pleased with this weeks training. it's just soooo nice to be getting back in the swing of things.
plan for this month is just to:
1. get my knee back to full strength,
2. keep the bike at 3 hours.
3. sort out this power sapping pain in my back when i cycle more than 90 minutes. if i were to do an IM today i reckon it'd add about 90 mins to my bike split having to stop and stretch it all the time.
4. get my running up to 6 miles so that i can blag the bramley 10.
5. finish the bathroom and kitchen.
for me this week
Swim 60 minutes!! The most in over a year i think, god its dull.
Bike 4h 45 mins (all turbo)
Run 4h 20 min
total 10h 5m
so my biggest week in ages which is good, sadly though, i managed to go over on my ankle today and now walk like a cripple!
