2 Months and a bit since Ironman.
Well it’s been over 2 Months since I did Ironman and I’ve had a little bit more time to reflect on it. We are due a baby in January so the plan was to take a break from Triathlons and maybe look at doing Dublin marathon in 2011 to focus on something. But not finishing [...]

Well at last I got into some swimming this week, which I was delighted about. I got in to the pool three times and open water 2 times for a total of about 8-9 kilometers which I was really happy about. Got on the bike a fair bit but nothing compared to last week reckon [...]

Last year whilst training for Ironman France we had to go to hong Kong for 2 weeks as Kelly’s Granny wasn’t very well. I didn’t like the food much over there so for two weeks the only thing I ate was Fish, Lobster and Chicken (once I knew it was normal chicken and not a [...]

Went to New York last week. The plan was to run for a week as I knew there wasn’t a pool in the hotel and no bike. Anyway I ended up doing nothing for the week which was pretty bad. I went for a big cycle before I left which was hilly enough. Left the [...]
