6 weeks to go
Just after cycling and to prove that I am still in training and not simply enjoying the lovely sunshine. Check out the numpty sun tan that has to even itself up.

150 up
Getting closer to the 180km mark I cycled 150km in 5:40:40 yesterday. Wind behind on the way out and against on the way back. Was pleased with the nutrition and legs held out. In fact having a cafeine gel at 100km was a smart move as I finished strongly. Well I didn't zonk.
This week I have tried to do the whole distance. So far, with Friday pm and the weekend to go I have swam 7000m, cycled 183km and ran 20km. I was hoping for a step back week next week but it just seems to get more and more up till IMCH in 7 weeks. A 2 hour run this weekend will see me over the total distance. I think for the second time since I started the 30 week plan.
