Fatman to Ironman

I got stared out by a wild boar today during my run, he was scary and almost certainly quicker at running than me!

32 miles on the bike, I rode up Fiddler's Elbow (for anyone who knows it ... the hill from Llanfoist up over the Blorenge to Blavenavon).  That was hard.  Stopped a couple of times to catch my breath, but pushed on and did it, pleased with myself. 2,100 feet of climb, averaged 15.1mph (moving time).  Legs a bit achy now  

Andy, bloody great 5k time, that.  MY PB is about 22:30.  

Morning world

Enjoy the day, I shall be at work til 5pm and asleep by 7pm

Guess it must be all the training making me fitter. No secrets.

What a great quote and how very true. No shortcuts I'm afraid!

I only ever really cycle with Barlos ... no one else would put themselves through that  

 indeed, Barlos must be commended for willing to cycle with you

I dont remember asking you !!   

well done Brit. I have yet to get outside on my road bike this year but I do do most of my training really early and it is still dark and frosty then. Hopefully next Sunday I will get outside for a nice long relaxed ride

Northener!

Has to scrape the car at midnight this morning to drive back from a wedding!

Britrisky - I know a few people who were persuaded to move up a group in a club and got dropped. It made them quite disheartened to be fair. To the point where they formed their own group & now stick together.

I'm not a big fan of group rides, i go on the occasional reliability ride with Trianglia . More benefit to us triathletes to cycle on our lonesome anyway, we cant ride in groups at an event.

2 hour run done this afternoon, longest run time ever
