Been a while since I updated the blog. Training's been sporadic. Trained quite hard for the Hampton Court swim and was really pleased with my result. 1.07 for 2.2m. 5 mins quicker than last year although that was only 6 weeks after collarbone surgery. Even so, am happy.
But, since, have had a lot on my plate and mind and it's all been a bit half-hearted. A DNS at 'Clash of the Tritons' aquathlon is not at all like me but it was miles away, childcare was proving a bit of an issue and it was 4 days before holiday. Lame reasons maybe but reasons nonetheless and I didn't beat myself (also not like me).
So, next Monday sees Thames Turbo Sprint which I'm hugely under-prepared for. Have ridden on the road once and that was for 7 miles to watch the Olympic bike test! So, am very much approaching the 'race' as a training session and hopefully the kickstart of better things.
It's all about motivation. I finally got round to doing my Ironman vid www.twitvid.com/5LMVG and, every time I watch it, I feel this deep urge to sign up for another. But 2012 Ironman is all about Chris in Austria so it'll have to wait.
