Also for chlorine hair - wet hair thoroughly before swimming and then it will absorb less

Morning, hows the head Nursey?

Man flu well and truely embedded for me so no swimming today, probably no nothing for a few days now either (except work). Great start to the plan

You need to REST. That means NO exercise/training until you are BETTER.

And if you don't do what you're told I will sneak into your house, put laxatives in your tea, break your legs and keep your bedpan in the freezer.

That's not good SD, hope you're feeling better soon! I've had a dodgy start to my plan too, due to a bad knee!

It seems there are many people on here doing their first Ironman this year, good luck to everyone who's just started their plan!

hope you had a nice birthday Nursey.

Get better soon SD.

Enjoy day 1 of your plan Tim, going to try and write mine later after parting company on Friday night with my coach/sponsor. Just glad actually I now know where I stand and have my Outlaw in MY hands.

Best of luck going it alone Holgs, although I suspect you may just know what you're doing

Fair few people, myself included, nursing injuries. My Physio rather cheerfully suggests that injury is a long distance triathletes 5th discipline.

Struggling with the swim at the moment. Seem to have lost some form and am finding my hips dragging somewhat. I think it's the breathing that's at fault with my sticking my head to far up in the air.

Time to head back to the SwimSmooth book.

10k race today - finished 5th 42:40 it was very very muddy but quite pleased with that, then out on the bike for 43 miles. Quite knackered now

Donkey ... you should only be lifting one eye out of the water and be paralell with the side of the pool when you breathe, if you lift too far then that will interrupt your stroke

I have been out on the old bike, hill reps for my sins, the afternoon was disappearing fast so I didnt have long, I have a longish loop of about 20 mins with an 8 min climb so I did that 3 times and will gradually increase

Thanks M...eldy. Rubbish swim tonight. Started to get quite anxious when exhaling (when face in water). Most odd. Hasn't happened before. Perhaps just one of those days.

Maybe, draw a line under it and look forwards ... anxiety may be linked with taking in too much air that you cant expel it and therefore you raise your head higher in order to give you longer to expel

That made sense in my head

Keep taking the pills!

Actually ID, she speaks sense...dammit!

Nice run TB. All this mud is causing trouble with trying to hit good times. Great placing too!

Well done TB.

Thanks Nurse.

Thanks guys, did some digging at the lotty today Nursey, is that ok?

Well done TB, nice result.

ID, try a bit of pool walking with your face in water & practise the breathing technique. Get it nice and relaxed that way then off you go again. Nice and steady.

Weekly blog update, not much to write home about this week again though
