Milestones
On the basis that if I am not careful this blog will just end up as a very boring record of my training, I am going to keep the posts down to milestones on the way to IMCH.
Having cycled around 180km last week - in three bursts, today's milestone was that I swam 3.300m (132 lengths). The time of 1:15:31 was slightly irrelevant but what was a bit special was that I did this before 08:30.
Feeling remarkably fine afterwards I decided that I could have swam another 500m and that would have been IM distance. I really think my swimming is not a problem.
It's getting bike time that will be tricky. So as to not allow for any winter excuses I picked up my mountain bike last week and I am now set.
Saw my beautiful girls last night and a pic of them will appear here later - If I can get the camera off KT.
