13th March 2017 - Broadland Half

Ran the broadland half yesterday.  Managed a new PB of 1:39:35

Bloody hard run again.  No flat on course just up and down.  The last 5 miles are bloody brutal.  Happy though.  Pain in ankle for last  mile.  Just off for a massage shortly to hopefully sort out.



Finished 77th out of 361.

6th March 2017

Stressful couple of months.  Margaret dying put the whole world in a bit of a spin.  Training while un-important in the grand scheme of things has been going rather well.  Building strength and endurance is easy.  Healing broken hearts will take forever.  Still, got to stay strong for Mel, Steve and the rest of the family.

Had a couple of decent rides in the last month.  GYCC 50 I averaged 18.5mph and Godric 50 was similar despite a flat tire.  Had a rest week and came out with all sorts of aches and pains though.

Still training with the Norwich run group on Wednesdays at Eaton UEA.  Broadland half marathon next weekend so I'll see where my pace is.

Swimming also good at the moment.  Harleston with Beccles tri club is up and running again after a pool maintenance closure.

Last Lotus Duathlon of the season yesterday.  Really windy and wet.  A lot slower for everyone than last time.  39 entered.  21 started and only 16 finished.  Relatively pleased to finish 5th.
