Wobble

So not much blogging so far this last month or so as any spare time has been on the bike, at the pool or running. I said compared to my rather dull marathon training blogging this one would only focus on milestones. So having not even competed at IMCH I have found myself with a slot at New York Marathon in November. And in a moment of sheer lunacy I entered the the Virgin London Marathon ballot. Still little chance of getting in that in 2010 due to the shear numbers applying.

NE wants to to do an IM 70.3. Mad, but I will try and do it with him.

The wobble refers to the fact that it has dawned on me in the last few days just what I have let myself in for.

That's better

Had two days off due to a cold and cough that my beautiful daugher CB gave me - a sort of Easter pressie. Thankfully Benylin came to the rescue.

Actually beginning to wonder if I counted properly as I swam the 3.8km distance this morning in the pool in 1:23. I am sure I did as my 2.500m time was 53:30. So big improvement on my previous best of nearer 1:35.

If only I could get the bike going better........still cycled 115km last week along the dunes in 4:23 so not so bad.
