Back on the road – somewhat for now…

It’s three weeks tomorrow since my brush with the Beemer, and two weeks on Friday since i came down heavy with the MANFLU and I’m gradually coming back to something remotely ‘normal’. I still have a small wee bit of a chesty cough, but nothing to hold me back ! The kids have all had a dose of what i had, thankfully due to some Parent God in the sky they didn’t get it too badly, 24 hours tops – and now Herself is down with a great portion of the flu (sweats, cold, achey bones etc) … but WannaBe triathlete/IronMan is bouncing back.

Base2 Weeks 3 & 4 – the wheels come off..

Well it had to happen i suppose, and when it did happen it was a biggie. I’m writing from the vantage point of my bed where i’ve been confined for the last 48 hours or so, with no real sign of my condition get any better. A bank holiday weekend has just come& gone, the weather turned out nice after all – but i’ve just seen it from the leaba.

Week 3- Total 5h:19m 3h:16m (61%) 1h:03m (19%) 1h (18%)

Week 4- Total 1h:14m 44m (59%) 30m (40%)

Oh – and did I mention that i was knocked off my bike!

Base2 Week 2(4) – biggest so far

Total 11h:21m 3h:32m (31%) 5h:49m (51%) 2h (17%)

Gathered over the course of seven sessions in six days – one rest day. Only my second time over the 10-hour barrier so far in this season’s training. Again a good balance with the bike getting most attention, with running more than swimming. Enjoyable week, tired at the start as i completed two sessions on the Monday (early swim and run at lunchtime) but as the week wore on i felt stronger .. some good sleeps helped, but still well short of the 8 hours that would be the ideal.
