122 days to go - am I getting enough protein?

Nadine and Age at the gym laughing at me trying to find x2 dumbbells of 6k or 7k. Ended up with x1 6k & x1 7k 😂

Am I getting enough protein?
I have upped my Greek yoghurt on my berries and overnight oats.
I've started taking nuts and dried fruit to work as a snack
I had a burger for tea at Trego lounge with Silvia.

I need to make sure I'm getting enough. 1.5-2g per protein per kg of body weight. Which means I need approx 100g of protein minimum each day. Will need to work on this

123 days to go - rest day

I havnt really earned this rest day though. No 3hour bike ride yesterday 🤔

I am though enjoying cycling to work by adding extra time. The commute usually takes 20mins. Today it took 39mins. These cheeky extra minutes / hours will help. Which is a relief. 
But I do have to get in those 2-5hour bike rides every week. An Ironman is an endurance event. I've got to train so my body will be able to keep going for 15+ hours!!

Gill's retirement party at work 🥰

124 days to go - physio & Cowherds back in Soton.

Great physio / massage apt 
So useful to be able to point out niggles and the Max know where the niggle originated so able to treat the cause (and not the symptom) 😂 Rocky Horror moment there 

Anyways

3 hour bike ride on newly serviced bike 
Managed 31mins to and from the Cowherds for dinner with K,S,V&Abel. 
This will become an issue 
I have to figure out how I can support mum in Ashtead while also training for the Outlaw 🤔

126 days till the outlaw - lunch at The Taz

Today I did 5 minutes on the stationary bike 
How do I make sure I do the training when in Ashtead? 

Late lunch with Claire, Phil, Anna, Amanda, Stuart and Becky - celebrating Paul's memory. It was lovely. 

When I was training myself for the Outlaw back in 2023 my big issue was not doing enough. I cannot let that happen again.

128 days to go - just work and driving

Hmmmm

I'm going to have to stop socialising / figure out how I can make sure I'm training enough.

Day 4/4
Did a lot of tidying / sorting this morning so didn't manage S&C either at home or at the gym.

Then drove to Ashtead via a Deb's pick up in Epsom so didn't manage anything after work. 

The sunset though was amazing when I went to get mums car from Winn road 🥰
