Wobbly Wednesday

After five days of training, it is easy to get to Wednesday and think that you deserve a break. However, as The Ironman has alrady reported successful finish will be the reward for a year's worth of training. And enjoying every minute of every day will be the icing on the cake as a consequence of making the investment.

And so, it was off the train, and onto the step machine, set at level 15 to get the heart pumping. Watching the ladies downhill in Vancouver, or Vonncouver as it is now called after the eponymous winner, was enough to set the heart racing what a course, what a race, and the British girl did us proud. At one point she was in gold position!

OK the first one down the course fell and failed to finish and she happened to be the second one down. Still a great story to tell the grandchildren. Just like the Cape Epic!

And then is was onto the bike. The gym was very busy and so the weights could wait.

a 45 minute routine with interval training and then a five minute burst at level 20. Great stuff and another olympic pool underneath my bike!

A 'quick' 220 sit ups and then a range of weights to build the core.

A good workout, and a great night. Less than 20 training days until we are on that flight to the experience of a lifetime.
