75 days to go

OMG swam 1900m and cycled 50mins all before 9:30am 🥳

Am quite tired!

This month and next are my two huge, key training months. 

The Outlaw is getting closer and closer 

Monday 11th May - long run

I so very nearly didn’t go for a run

Had been raining, WIngs that evening, Deb’s and I had done lots of mum admin, it would have been so easy to just not go running.

But then I thought.

The long run is vital

76 days to go

When I make the swim / bike cutoff I’ll have at least 7 hours to do the marathon. That’s doable as long as I’m able to keep going quicker than a painful slow walk 🤣 Hence the importance of the long run.

So I did it.

Delighted xxx

77 days to go - beast from the east

68km today

So many hills.

So many amazing views 

The Outlaw bike course is not lumpy 

Today’s course was lumpy 

I could not have done another 110km today!!!

Sue and I are doing the Hampshire Hilly Hundred next Sunday. 

I wonder how long that will take and if I’m broken at the end. 

Still plenty of time till I go long. 

I am nervous though.
