Due to various circumstances I have not really trained properly for the last 3 weeks. I noticed on Sags's blog the photo of the Henlow 10 finish area, which I hate as it makes me look like I have a belly! As a result I have decided that I need help from the "Ab Master" or in this case the "Ab Mistress". I have recruited Anthea to help me sort out my core stability and hopefully help me get a six pack for the spring. I have been doing some core stability this week with her down the gym before my swimming training and it hurts. I didn't know what abs were! I do now. Next week should see me return to a normal training week and re-discover that thing with wheels called a bike. I am currently working on the big plan for next year. At the moment its provisionally looking like Ironman Brazil. There are a lot of "ifs and buts" at the moment though so it may not come off yet. I guess I will know in the next few weeks as entries need to be in by 5th Jan 09. The main stopper will be money as I am not sure of travel and accommodation costs yet. The other concern is getting Ironman fit in time for the event as it is very early in the year (31st May). It will be hard to get the bike miles in if the winter is a bad one, but I do have a turbo trainer now, I just don't fancy spending 5 hours on it! Running should be ok as I am doing London again (hopefully without the illness) in April and its about 5 weeks before IM so that could work out very well. We will have to wait and see.
