Week 25 Training log

This is it. Possibly the most painful piece of paper that I own. It is my registration acceptance for Ironman Wales 2012. GULP!!!!!! And away we go.
Oh yeah. the new wetsuit is fine, a good fit and allows me to breath, always a bonus.

Still in a build period as its been the season to be jolly and all that. Managed to maintain my weight over Christmas which is fantastic, that will save some work after. I'm not at the fitness level that I was before I became ill before Christmas and I don't think I'll be able to get there untill the kids go back to school. So next week will be another build week .
Spent a lot of time over the holidays taking our dog for long walks. We have a six month old Springer Spanial called Paddy. I find myself constantly inspired by his ahtleticism and fitness. His energy knows no bounds and he floats about like his joints are floating on air. If I could just capture a small percentage of his energy I think I would be super human and it would make Ironman training a walk in the park, maybe I should try eating what he eats. Paddy will be my training partner as he grows over the next eight months. we both particularly like the sand dunes at Fresh Water West.
