56 days to go

HB outside for an hour before work 

Bumped into Ed from tri club which was fab

Day 4/4 of work 🥰

Watered the allotment after work and chilled there for a good extra 30mins 

Love plot4 so much 

This time 2023 was the Rattler weekend of approx 2.5k lake swim, 10k run then 100mile bike ride 

After the bike ride I just thought oh crap, how on earth am I fit enough for a bloody ironman!! The accident was horrific but crikey, also dodged a bullet 🤣

I think this time I will be fit enough in 56 days.

My poor little heart may well burst with joy when I cross the finish line. 

It’s the direct correlation between the effort it’s taken to cross the line compared with the magnitude of the event which has in the past made every fibre of every cell in my body become pure joy. It’s an amazing feeling. I’m excited to have that feeing super sized in about 8 weeks xxx 

57 days to go

8k 1:12 run after work 

It was supposed to be 1:50 but when it got to 10pm it was time to go home to shower, have something to eat and unwind from the day 

Delighted though that I went out!

Beautiful sunset 

Plus I bumped into Chris from S&W which was wonderful as I haven't seen him for years 🤗

Friday 29th May - Swim & Mangos

Day2 at work 

Set alarm for 4:45am!!!!

STC swim session at Oaklands. So glad I went.

Approx 1750m in 48mins

Then met Emi & Maya after work at Mangos 🥰

Rest day

I am quite tired!

Left work early today to meet A & Amy for supper.

Bought our parking for the Outlaw weekend 

I have to keep trusting I’ll make it to the finish line 

Basically if I can do the 180k in 8 hours I’ll be fine 

How ridiculous is that, cycling for 8 hours. 

I need to buy new bike shoes 

5.5hour long run becomes 2.5hours

Well at least a swam agin in the morning and got to use my National Trust membership at Polesdon Lacey.

I need to do more cycling 🤔

Swim, boys & Armistead Maupin

Fabulous day

Should have started the swim earlier as only managed 1900m 48mins before needed to head home for breakfast with mum

Took mum to Drs

Coffee at Debs

Met boys at St Martin in the Fields

Food, talk - 50 years since Tales of the City came out, ice cream, drinks in the Retro Bar

Fabulous 

62 days to go

I’m very focused now on making sure I don’t miss any training 

Didn’t sleep very well - so hot!

So was out by 9am for my 60min run.  Then chilled at the allotment - watered the greenhouse and drank a lot of water 

Coven lunch 12:30pm

Caught the 5pm train to Ashtead 

Hopefully I’ll sleep better tonight

I have ordered the same eye mask that H uses when sleeping to see if that’ll help. Should arrive tomorrow 🤗
