Had to go to a tradeshow in Germany and sort of missed a week. Started a bit late this week also which was essentially my Rest Week.

Did my first bit of exercise on Wed’s which was a Kilcoole AC track session. We did a one mile time trial, it took me 6mins 20 seconds. I had no idea how fast I could do one but I presumed I could run under 5 minutes, it wasn’t as easy as I thought. 6 mins 20 had me pretty wrecked. There were other parts to the track session but that was the main thing, I was pretty wrecked on Thursday morning.

Got down to Ashford and John and Paddy were both there. Also me a guy called Trevor didn’t get to talk to him much as he was bombing along at the front, we did our usually loop which usually takes us 3- 3:30 hours. With Trevor pulling us along we did it in 2:30. I was wrecked, so wrecked I took a rest day on Friday!!

Saturday we went out with 5 guys who are all doing Ironman France, there were meant to be a few more of us but I was so busy during the week I never got around to getting them out too. It was a much nicer pace, two of the guys were doing Heart Rate based training so we were taking it pretty handy, nothing like crazy Trevors Thursday Trip.

Sunday got out on the bike again, so three bikes this week and one run session (it’s been over two weeks father since I was last at the pool!!). Sundays Bike was with Liam Dillion at 17 and a half stone there is only one speed he does and that’s slow!!
