Rookie Goes for 6 in a row @ Ironman UK Week 5/25

The weather in Bolton continues to be ‘Baltic’…..

Sub zero temperatures and gale force winds as standard….

If you think I am going back up onto the tops of brutally exposed Ironman bike circuit in that then you can get fucked….

Still licking my wounds from the kicking I got last week….

There was a time when I would have ‘gone anyway’…..

Not anymore……

Bit older and wiser these days…..

Don’t get me wrong…..

I believe there is a certain magic in purposely going out and getting your arse kicked by the elements….

Adds a mental toughness and resilience that will serve you very well on race day……

But there comes a point when you’ve had that many beatings on the bike loop…..

You learn to pick your battles carefully….

Here is how training went this week…..

Mon……Pool Mile

Tues….Weights & sauna

Weds….6.5km jog

Thurs….Pool Mile

Fri…..Weights & sauna

Sat…..10km jog

Sun……10km jog on a treadmill as refused to go out lol
