Cleveland Steelman on Saturday (Half Ironman distance)

I've been feeling tired since the Dambuster and Allerthorpe races. After the second race on the Sunday I had to work Monday dayshift instead of nights which meant I had to take the MT car back Monday morning and then cycle the 40 miles home after a 12 hour dayshift and did not get back until 10p.m. Tuesday I had to rest. Since then I have not done lots just a few bits here and there. I did a 3hr MTB ride in Dalby forest on Friday last week, a 2700m open water swim on Saturday and a Half Marathon (training pace - 1hr 24) on Sunday. This week I've only done an hour MTB on Monday, rest Tuesday, Wednesday was 28 mile bike with transition to 4.5 mile run, then swam in the afternoon. Today was a 25 mile bike and a swim. Tomorrow I plan to run about 5 mile but really steady pace and then sort out all the kit for Saturday. I am planning to do the race at a steady pace unless i'm in contention for a good overall place then I might go for it. Its really just a fitness test and build up for the worlds at the end of the day and I don't want to peak to soon this season. Then I have a few days (3) before Cranwell??? not sure why as I hate sprints with a passion. Just seen the forecast for Saturday and its not good - windy and heavy rain :-(

That's all for now, race report should be on line on Sunday.
