Injuries and New York Marathon

So much for the comment that the swimming was going well. I should learn to keep quiet. Shoulder completely knackered so must stay out of the pool for 3-4 weeks. Thankfully I was well up on the schedule so no harm done training- wise. And it gives me a chance to get cycling. Have been for nearly 3.5 hours already this week. Avoiding ice and old ladies. Running is......let's not tempt fate.

And I have a guaranteed place in the New York Marathon on Nov 7th - best start saving for the airfare as I have no inention of coming back coach class. Actually looking forward to making that a short of holiday/Christmas shopping trip/marathon all in one go.

Here we go again.......

Week 5 of the Roth training plan and at long last I have got back on my bike after a fall on the ice. So all back on track now for July.

Ran a 5km time trial last week with the Tri club I joined and surprsied myself with a 21:14 time which in snow & ice in the dark seemed to me to be OK.

In summary swimming going great, running going well, and the less said about the bike the better.

Still, 6 months to go so no panic.

IMCH in all it's glory.....

We scrub up quite well don't we?

The finish line conga party - Cougie, Crashie, Kanga and Bedders.......

FB put up with more stupid questions over the last 6 months before IMCH than I think most people could have reasonably put up with!

Cheers mate - without you it would have been twice as hard (and less fun!)

Looking reasonably good so must have been early in the run!
