Well after having September off, it's time to get back on it, and find that Gorilla inside !
It was great to eat what I wanted and not think about training, although I did sneak a 125 mile charity bike ride in for a laugh ........... 115 miles of which I was soaking wet, but hey it's for charity !!
I have put on a few pounds in weight, well 8lbs actually, but soon get that shifted, I guess.
First week back training last week with 3 runs totalling 16 miles and a 70 mile bike ride, it was a decent start, I'm just going to slowly build the hours up this month to 8-10 hours a week and hold it there for while, just concentrating on steady pace at the minute, although I couldn't resist the urge of a few strava segments while I was out.
Race plan is pretty sorted for next year, a 24 hour run in March , Triple (Iron) Enduroman at the end of May and a Deca Iron attempt in August !!!
I had entered IM Copenhagen at the end of August but a few weeks later, I was invited to join a group of 13 ultra triathletes planning a DIY Deca Iron, the lure was just to much and so I'm going to withdraw from Copenhagen
.........a Deca Iron, at a fraction of the cost, on my doorstep, it's too good an opportunity to miss.
So only 3 events in 2014 but 100 plus miles running & a total of 13 IM, should be interesting !!
Back to October, it's steady back on it, to get back in the swing and then review weekly training hours at the end of the month, build from there, easy.
