Since starting the new contract I have picked up my training skirt. I am running at lunchtimes, maybe only 30 minutes but it's at a good pace, and I am back to swimming in the evenings.
Today I had a plan to do a big training day. It started at 7am in the lake for 4x750m of swimming. The longest swim session I have ever done. Then back home and off for a long bike ride. I spent Thursday evening planning a route. Today I went off on it. The plan was 97miles. What I actually achieved was a 56mile ride when I just had to get off the bike. I was in pain. So I called into a friends and spent some time with them. After a couple of hours Richard gave me a lift to the over side of the hills and off I went again for another 33mile home. 88miles in total, which is the longest I have ever been on the bike. Not the original route as I just could not make that one. At the end of this I feel tired out and I really can't see how I am ever going to do an Ironman. This is definately looking like an event to far. How does anyone last 112miles on a bike and then run a marathon?
