It's all in the bank ...

Well, here we go again. 13 days to Ironman UK. Just finished the last long ride and long run this past weekend. A few more sessions this week but generally it is winding down.

Had a very good training campaign in the last 12 weeks. Running faster than ever (10k and half mara PBs during high volume weeks), not getting dropped in the hills from the fast dudes on the bike. Not swimming any faster than usual, but feeling strong and finding the distance much more manageable this time around. So, looking forward to seein what the body can do on what looks like a fairly challenging course in Dorset, England. Weather looks quite ideal there right now -- lows of 13, highs of 23.

Been really lucky with weather this winter in Melbourne. Only got drenched on a couple of occasions. Managed to be injury-free, illness-free (except for 1 small cold at beginning of June) and I haven't been kicked out of school (actually things are going reasonably well). Lynn has pointed out that I get very focused when Ironman training ... will have to work on that one.
