Rookie goes for 6 in a row @ IMUK Week 11/25

Lost the plot these last 3 weeks I did…..

Basically took a weekend off and ended up on the piss for 3 weeks., not giving a flying fuck about training the entire time……

Idiot……

Finally managed to get back on track this week though…..

Here is what happened when I made my way back onto the Ironman bike circuit Saturday following a 3 week ‘break’…..

Looked like the best cycling day of the year so far but once again when you make your way up onto the tops of the Ironman bike course, a gale force wind is raging as standard…..

Nothing pisses me off more than trying to cycle head first into a gale force wind on this brutally open bike circuit…..

Sulked all the way round in 2:35 I did……

Not good enough…..

Well I say that, 3 laps of 2:30 is the absolute shittest you can be and still scrpae the cut offs by the skin of your teeth……

But a 2:35 first lap on fresh legs does not bode well…..

Plenty of work to do and it starts with a complete ban on alcohol until at least July 4th…..

Here is how training went this week……

Mon : Pool mile

Tues : Weights & sauna

Weds : 6k jog

Thurs : Pool Mile

Fri : Weights & sauna

Sat : lap of the IMUK bike circuit as above

Sun : 10k jog
