Looking back to look forward

Now on the way back from a glorious few days of training in Mallorca the reality of the 70.3 is begining to sink in. The count down is into single figures!

Every time I have wanted to quit a training session over the winter i have thought about how it is making me stronger, faster fitter for this race.

I am going to try and do something I have rarely managed in most of my races so far, and that is enjoy the moment. Its going to be hot, hilly and windy. But it wont be like that for just me, everyone is going to be baking out there!

My trusty mule is coming along for this one, which will be nice. He can take some of the emotional strain, as well as some of the baggage! I have found sometimes you just need someone to confim that yes, registration is at this time, and yes you have got everything. Doing it all yourself can be quite emotionally draining.

My week in Mallorca was fab. Sa Calobra concoured, Formentor ran (again) and a bunch of swimming with the fishes in the bay at Peurto Pollenca. I have also dabbled with the GoPro this week, so standby for some holiday footage! I have about 2 hrs of video, which I know ideally needs to be condensed into 3 mins, else no one is going to watch it, or care! I remember having so suffer my Grandads terribly dull holiday videos as a child....many, many hours of them!


I have some good miles in my legs on the inside, and some horrendous tan lines on the outside, so now its time to taper and hopefully not go too mad! Got a sprint in the diary for the 19th April, hopefully I can remember what to do!
