26th May 2017 - NN100/2017

Only 37 days to go and feeling strong.  Never been as fit as this before an IM.  Swimming and biking are going well although running pace has dropped recently.

Did the North Norfolk 100 on Saturday.  16 miles of headwind each lap.  Hard ride.  Did a 5:04:43 time.  More than 30mins better than 2014.  Happy with that.

End to end swim this weekend and another 100mile ride.  I might do this with GYCC for a bit of variety.

8th May 2017

First post in a while.

To be honest everything is going brilliantly.

Started open water swimming.  Water in Fritton is 11 deg C.  Painful and I've only managed 40mins so far.  Hopefully the weather will improve soon and lift the temperatures!

Biking is going reasonably.  Chain gang started last week which was fun.  Three 100milers so far which decent average pace.  NN100 in two weeks.

Running I'm finding the going harder.  Faster than previous years IM training but struggling to hold speed in longer runs.  Up to 17 miles in last couple of weeks.

So all in all I'm happy!
