Well Monday was busier than I thought so I didn't get the half marathon in I hoped to do but maybe it was for the best as I was quite tired from the weekend. I went to Billabong lake to do the swim with my trainers and planned to run straight after the swim. I did three laps of the lake giving me a 2700m swim and then did a quick transition and ran the club 4 mile course they use in club races. It was very cold after the swim with the gale force winds and the first mile was hard going but managed to do the run in 23 mins dead. Felt good and its the furthest I've swam this year non-stop. Feeling pleased with the nights work, can feel myself getting fitter, but I expect another few days of discomfort now as I've dropped by 1 tablet a day on the medication and every time I do that I have a few days of stomach cramps, which then settle down again afterwards. Getting my health back slowly which is good news.

That is sub 6 min miling for the run dude! Is the course accurate? If it is, slowly getting your fitness back means the rest of us are already behind you bud! You could do very well at the Dambuster........no pressure!
That seems to be good news ref tablets and general well being. You may need to stop posting the times you are doing as I think you're scaring Sags!
And I've sent you an e-mail ref an order for more trainers.
Turbo, i'll get your email tomorrow night at work and order your stuff. Sags, I'd need to be running sub 5 min miles if you knew how slow my swim was on Monday night (or any other night for that matter!!!) to have any chance of getting some decent results.
Too late to play it all slow dude! You are officially a contender for the RAF Champs at Dambuster. Unlike me, who is getting slower and falling apart

Don't you start bluffing Sags, your becoming more of a legend as each day goes by! I think our times won't be to far apart mate.
Sags is certainly right on the bike - beaten by someone in the 45-49AG at Brize! (It's a small victory and one I will keep on reminding everyone about!)
Sags is certainly bluffing; he's lean and mean at the moment.
