Fatman to Ironman

Hope you fell better soon Will, take it easy mate.

I will be attending the coached swim session tonight with COLT - I expect it will be frustrating and painful.

Did a 9 mile run last night, turned my ankle but thankfully feels ok this morning. Did an hour on the bike before work.

I am afaraid I am one of those annoying people that can sleep through 12 hrs plus ... each and every night  

You can go off people y'know.....................................

Will, hope you get better soon.  
Now listen  up................. 

 You MUST REST.  It is nothing to feel bad about.  It is just as important as any other aspect of training. 
If you don't rest, I will come round to your house and nurse you myself, and believe me that's to be dreaded waaaay more than not training.

The lack of sleep I mentioned a few posts back is taking it's toll. I am absolutely knackered.  So, having had my rest day yesterday, I have decided to have another rest day today.  I'm not working tonight so the plan is no coffee, no alcohol, a relaxing bath and an early night with some of my knock-me-out lavendar and geranium balm. 
Keep your fingers crossed for me.  If I don't get a decent night's sleep soon I might go a bit "Falling Down".

I'm going to tri club for the first time tomorrow night, and am really looking forward to it

You'll sleep just find after tri club NR and I hope your plan for today works too.

Nurse - hope you get some sleep tonight. I am a bit knackered myself - and am skipping training tonight in favour of an early night.

Will - make sure you rest and get to the dr

If you cant sleep tonight ..... I'll be at work until 7am 

You'll find it wrapped round your neck

You could do something constructive like plan some really painful training for your mentorees 

TeamMeldy mentees are hard as nails.  We can take the pain.

MeldyMentor; train with pain

I swam tonight for the first time this week. Back in Liechtenstein, and I know the town quite well. Rode the hotel gym bike after the swim for 45 minutes. Tomorrow morning I will investigate the running track I found tonight.

Then home. w00p!

I never sleep well after tri club.

for me it's an hour of running speed work which i'm not used to then an hours swim. I enjoy it a lot but with a 10pm finish I find my legs a bit twitchy when I try to sleep afterwards, just given up and thought id go on the puter for a bit before trying again.

actually due to travel with work tonight was first time back at tri club for several weeks, ive been training loads in the meantime and noticed a good improvement in relation to others at the club who I run with.

Noticing an improvement is very good 

 yes, especailly as im not new to running, its the additional swimming and cycling thats doing it, my weights coming off too, another few months and I should no longer be a fatman.

Whoop whoop
