Well as predicted things are getting somewhat surreal...
I got my acceptance for London Olympic distance today!!!
Which means all the nutty things I've been buying in the sales might get some use now (felt f95, jammers, zoggs predator googles, body glide, orca kansei, spd sl pedals, cycling shoes, bib shorts.... OMG don't tell the missus!)
Removed my own stitches on the weekend and have started running again, but only 5.5 miles in snow off road on Sunday and 7 road miles on Monday
Going to swim at some point tomorrow (when work gets off my case)
But won't be able to bike until April and same for any weights but plenty of time for that since I have a 10 mile mountain adventure race on March 17 and Edinburgh mara in May.
So far have read IronHolgs book, currently reading iron war and have a copy of fink to hand... and yes I have every intention of joining the ship to Lanza for a 40th year like no other!!
Onward me hearties!!!

Seren - I would insert the smiley embarrassed face icon but can't on phone, but thank you very much, hope to get better since I know I could be more efficient still and right now the endurance aspect is lacking - open water training is going to be interesting but I hope to have gained some pool endurance by the time things start to open
IMO breast stroke serves no purposes other than getting better at breaststroke, your time could be better spent on front crawl technique
Welcome to the slope !
Aim for consistent times until proficient enought to up the pace, much the same as when you start running
I'll come good !!
Bottom line I was always a better breaststroker, and my naturally tendency is to revert to type, I need to say no and focus on form and technique on FC, I'm not too bothered about the speed and I'm lucky (and grateful) to have a decent base to work from
Outdoor pool??? In February???!!!!
At the gym and heated, cooler than indoor and walk to it is bracing but otherwise better than indoor pool IMO BUT outdoor is 20m whereas indoor is 25m so more laps required
Run - Swim - Run
3.84 miles - 1.0 mile - 4.06 miles
33'38 - 40'49 - 36'27
Knackered - I really need to up my fitness that's for sure would be nice to to feel like dying after every 10 lengths in the pool!!!
