A short run this morning most of the snowe and ice seems to have dissappearred.lovely morning.....but cold.......took me an hour to drag myself out of the door
I'm going out for a bike ride....with my 4.5 stone tubby daughter on the tag along....can I get extra points for that....cos she doesn't even peddle nor nuffin!!
My first exercise of the year. Tadworth 10 this morning. Spot on about the flipping freezing. Didn't help in c/p but was no doubt out on the course for a good half hour longer than CD!
5 point on the Turbo.....first time on one and interesting in a boring way..... Back to training after illness at the end of December and where did the weather come from. I've been reliably informed by Mr OC that if you commute to work by bike you only ever get rained on 10 times a year.....not only have I now got webbed feet and hands, with permanent prunes for fingers, he didn't mention the ice, snow and crap drivers....
Well it’s the start of a new year so I can start counting again...
4.5 HOURS ON THE MOUNTAIN BIKE UP TO EPPING AND BACK VIA THE CANALS AND CYCLE PATHS OF EAST LONDON, IT WAS LOVELY OUT THERE, WORKED OUT SOME LOVELY LONG RUNS TO AND FROM WORK AS WELL. I SHALL GO FOR A SHORT RUN NOW WHILST MY LOAF IS GROWING IN THE KITCHEN
based on IM distances which is meant to be equal effort in all disciplines or so I am lead to believe was the original concept
if 3.8k = 1 point for the swim
180k = 1 pt for the bike and
42k = 1 point for the run
translated to imperial measures
1pt swim =2.4 miles
1 pt bike = 112 miles
1pt run =26 miles
working backwards then.....
roughly 400 m = 1 pt swim roughly 11 miles = 1 pt cycled roughly 21/2 miles = 1 pt run
and you get feck all for the turbot or spinning......
I shall go to the pub
Oh and just to make it plain feck all is changing if you dont like, it lump it, in the nicest possible way
How can the Ironman discuplines be equal effort? An average Ironman swim might take 80 minutes and an average bike 6.5 hours, thats hardly equal effort!

Well as I don't get extra points for towing chubby chops, I made Mr DM do it .... 7 mile slow family cycle followed by a 10 mile hack through the ice! Swim tomorrow, but 400m takes me somewhere nearer 10mins as I'm totally crap at swimming...2k takes me a whole hour!!!

Tadworth 10 this morning. That was preceded by an hour marshaling in the car park - flipping freezing it was.

Plums got a bun in the oven

Have you planned my Bala brekkie yet?
the healthy option as always i assume
I will storm the run this year
Haven't made up my mind whether to post my training Seren.
I still have dodginess going on with my knee and I think this thread just encourages me to do too much
Plum - is that some kind of euphemism??
Well, I think I'll play
