Here we go again. Been training again since Feb and next Sunday I will be in Nice for IM France. What do I know about this Ironman? There is about 2500 taking part, beach start and a sea swim, the bike ride goes up into the mountains and the run is hot and flat. So my expectations are a crowded swim, probably with lots of kicking, a single 17 mile long hill and a run that's going to be tough. But if you choose to enter these things, don't whinge about it.
Training has been fair. Lots of swimming early on in the pool, on plan with running and biking. A few occasions where I have fallen off plan but probably more training than last year. Biking feels stronger. I guess it needs to be as everyone tells me the IM France bike is one of the hardest. Certainly I have done more uphill training this year, hope it all pays off.
