Ah but this Longest Day is not in sunny climes, still I need to get a plan for next years racing, starts with FLM so I figured I could use my endurance base from that to build up to an ironperson (to be pc about it)
Did TLD this year. Cant praise the race and the organisation enough. You will have a great day. Managed 10:49 but I don't think anything can prepare you to run a marathon after 5.5+ hours on the bike.
Upped the training agin this week by increaseing my cycling
Trained a total of 11:42 hrs:mins
I'm off on my TI workshop this next week so my goal for next week will be to improve my swim effficancy and get equipped to meet my end of year swim targets
Re:WildWill "Learning" My first mistake in my 1st IM, was not drinking soon enough getting on the bike.I started cramping at 75 miles (made the run fun;-))
Now my triple marathon attempt is over I'm going to begin my swimming training for TLD. Doing a Biathlin in December which will be my first taste of swimming and running together.

I've learnt to drink lots - at my size you burn a lot of kcals hence need lots of water
