Well this week has been a good week of training. No swimming though as the pool has been closed. The swimming starts again on Monday the 5th. I hope I can remember how to do it as I was never great at it in the first place!
Anyway on to the week just finished. I started on Saturday and did a 3 day stint, rested Tuesday and then trained another 3 days. I managed to get 9 hours 20 mins of biking and 40 miles of running in. This was broken down as follows,
Saturday 7.5 mile run A.M - 1 hour 40 turbo P.M
Sunday 10.8 mile run A.M - 1 hour 10 road ride P.M
Monday 3 hour road ride A.M - 4 mile run P.M
Tuesday Rest
Wednesday 7 mile run A.M - 1 hour turbo P.M
Thursday 6.2 mile run A.M
Friday 2 1/2 hour road ride A.M - 4.5 mile run P.M
This has been a good week and I hope I continue to get weeks like this through January and February. I now have a new plan for my "A" race this year after the disappointment of not getting an entry to the Brazil IM. I will know more in the next week or so, until then the "A" race is a secret. All will be revealed soon. I do have a couple of contingency plans should this not work out. Once I know I will post my season plans. The photo I will put on this blog later shows the bike after Fridays ride. I hate winter!! It was gleaming and oiled about half an hour later. I also decided that I would order some decent quality winter gloves as I am now fed up of cold fingers! the Aldi cheap gloves just don't cut the mustard. Some nice new Seal Skins are in the post now!

I reckon IM South Africa is calling. I can hear Paul Simon singing in the background. Keep up the training and stay colitus free. Only a few months to go, can't afford to miss any. :-)
