Madlot my boys name is Max and yes before anyone asks we did name him after Max my old Ridgeback it used to get a bit confusing when Max the dog was still alive, used to shout Max and boy and dog would be whizzing towards me
Joddly Personally I would not be doing anything near 2-3 hours during base on the turbo in fact my long ride is only starting to touch 2 1/2 hours towards the end of Base Period. The longest I ever did on a turbo was a 4 hour long ride during the peak phase when i had knackered my shoulder and couldnt ride on the road. I always try to get my long ride in on the road no matter how bad the weather as it may be crap on race day and riding in all conditions improves your confidence and handling skills on the bike
4 hrs on a turbo!!! I think that earns more respect than actually doing an IM.
Managed 2 swims this week .About 40mins this morning, Actually felt like technique has improved just by reading swimsmooth.Have done no running though or biking since Sunday.
Can't wait for all the ice to go. Proper training starts Tuesday, (after Mondays rest day)
Am I the only one not running at the moment? I'm doing a bit on the turbo, but we still have freezing temps and ice all around, and I just dont want to risk running outdoors. My body is itching for a run, but my head over rules it!
Damn this ice!!! Another hour on the turbo I guess today.
Nice icy hours trail run with Wilson the mighty Irondog only went flying once took it nice and easy as my hamstring are still tight as hell all prepped for christmas now so I am gonna sit down soon crack a beer and stuff some chocky happy christmas to all and all the best for your Ironman plans for 2011
Merry Christmas fellow Pirates, I'll mostly be doing naff all training for the next 48 hours. Let's hope Santa's brought me two new feet as still not running!!!

snow is going,
all around me
Triathletes playing, having fun
Its the season
for running and base training
Merry Christmas, everyone.
Time for swim drills
and weight sessions
People turboing all night long
Time for presents

Time for singing christmas songs
We're gonna have a triathlon tonight,
I'm gonna find that tri bike bargain,
I'll kiss it by candlelight.
