Back in training
Well today was the day I had to return to work after 20 days off. Weekends are good at work as I get chance to train for a while. I brought the bike and turbo in and set up in the gym. I did a mini brick session, 5km run on the treadmill at 18:37 followed by 10 mile on the turbo, another 5km run at 18:42 and then another 10 mile on the turbo. After the session I checked the turbo details and had completed the two 10 milers in a total of 48 Min's. Before I started I felt quite fresh but certainly found it harder going than I imagined it would be. So that's it Ironman out of the way and now back in training. I've entered a sprint on the 17th May, I have the London Marathon on the 26th of this month, and if I can get off night shift early enough next weekend there is a 10/40/5 duathlon in Hull that I would like to do. I could do with a good race under my belt to help with the confidence at the moment as I've raced twice this year and not had the results I'm used too! Its early days yet so I'm not worried yet but need some good results to give me a boost.

Take it steady mate, no need to rush straight back into the hard efforts.
Is that definitely the end of the IM journey for you?
Can't be sure Turbo Man I said it would be but despite everything I enjoyed it and I still feel I have a good Ironman race in me yet that I havn't produced! Its not the training or the race that made me say it was going to be the last one its the getting ill with colitis that pi$$es me off when I'm in good form and then having to rest up for a few weeks. Lets just say its not a definate last one!!!
