Fatman to Ironman

Racing in pirate colours for first time on Sunday.  It's only a 10k, but the only way is up, right?

Correct !

Tim, I always run better off the bike, you are nicely warmed up and the cadence is 'there' following the bike
(its all relative and I still run like a lumbering thing)

I run quicker coming off the bike and in training I have to concentrate on keeping it together and not going out too hard and fast.

Returned to proper running last night with a few 1500m intervals.

Just completed my longest swim. 4km / 160 lengths in 85 mins.

Nice one spoons.

Good swimming Spoons!

I'll have some coaching, please, Spoons!!!

My pool sessions are usually limted to an hour but I'd like to think I could give you a run for yer money  

nice one spoons !

feeling less crappy today (got a good night's sleep last night which helped) so have walked dog at brisk pace, done a 40 min Chrissie Wellington audiofuel session on the turbo and then half an hour of kettlebells and core. phew. tgi lunchtime

Great swim Spoons!

Cheers - really pleased. But.... I can't stop eating now...

What?  That was this morning!!   Get over it, move on  

I feel like that all the time Spoons (hungry, that is, not pleased with my swimming!).  Probably a tapeworm.

1hr 05 on the bike.  Jeeeeeeeeeez it's cold out there, my arse is like a block of ice.  Warm hands and feet tho' - odd.
Not the best training week, a couple of sessions missed due to work/kids/hubby/life in general.  Still, will manage my long bike tomorrow and long run on Sat. 

Goodness it's cold today.  Applying the chamois cream brought a shudder & a grimace.

Probably a tapeworm.

Everyone at my work says I must have a tapeworm....

Just the one?  

Morning All,

A lot less chilly then yesterday. A great session in the pool last night, the usual 300-400m of warm drills, floats etc... and then 20 x 75m off a diminishing rest recovery. Really pushed hard and enjoyed it.

well done spoons and holgs on the swimming. I am no longer the slowest in my lane at tri club now - I know that cos I keep catching people up and having to hang around a bit.  just need to sort out my legs and kick and I will be getting there
