Ironman Lanzarote 2013 (3rd weekend in May?)

 wimp!! It's lovely and sunny here - although haven't ventured outside yet, so no idea how cold it is!! But it looks nice

Managed a whole one mile run yesterday - first for five weeks! So zero to marathon fit in ten weeks???

Sounds very piratey that

So in true Pirate fashion, I should start with a rest day then and just go to the pub?

Pirates dont run, it is perceived as cowardly. Pirates are like glaciers, they ominously keep moving forward by sheer pressure.

Not sure if this would help, but we're staying at CLS and rather than using taxis have hired a car out - the cost was only £71.00 for the full week. Don't know whether that would work out cheaper than hiring taxis.

it might be freezing but it makes beautiful patterns on the road where it looks like dry ice being blown around on the surface........such a magical look that is better witnessed from the inside of a warm car.not from the saddle of a bike

Hey OC, just read DAY 1 and DAY 2 blgs. Congrats on your TT win!

Schmunkee - I've sent you a response, but not sure whether I've done it right.   Any problems, let me know.

Morning all ... is it spring yet?

I have a long bike planned for Saturday and the forecast is for rain all day

If nothing else we will be as tough as old boots come May

Pre breakfast aquathon then am easy day but i rode long instead of running.....
Let me know whem this is boring

Read the blog every day! Looks like you are having fun. Good!

Not been able to bike or run since early march due to knee pain. Extravalanza fast turning into       " Beat the cutoff"

Quite warm on the bike commute this morning, well, it was +1C so relatively warm I guess. Hoping to get 80+ miles in the bag on Saturday, may well be a touch damp out there, joy!

Did you wear shorts?

Sure did 

Just paid the final installment for the apartment - which means it can only be 9 weeks till I'm there ..........

*shuffles off to panic in a darkened room*

Are we supposed to remember or do they tell us?

They send me a email.... but that might be as I've had bank cards re-issued since I originally booked (thanks to little internet tinkers!!)
