This blog will have my thoughts about training for running races and triathlons. It will also contain items about weight loss (nutrition) and general fitness.
In 2007 I completed my first Ironman triathlon at Ironman UK and therefore I am now an Ironman.
In 2009 I took part and completed my first Ultra Marathon a 39.3 Miles (63.2 Km) run.
In 2010 I completed two Ironman distance triathlons with just 1 month between them.

Last Swim
This morning I did my last swim before the Ironman.
It was a 1km (0.6 mile) pool swim which was at a fairly fast pace for me. The main thing was that it felt really good my stroke and rotation where better timed and I really enjoyed it.
Oh and I meant to say good idea with the caffeine thing. I don't usually have any caffeine in my day... broke that rule for London Tri recently, just had a couple of gels.. WOW! You should see my eyes at the end of the race - they look like they're about to pop out of my head! No ill effects and certainly gave me a pick up (although I did find myself talking to myself a couple of times!) Good Luck again!
