Wow where did that month go?

Well  a fair bit happened in August.

Lots of Iron man training, with 637 klm done on the bike. That included a 170 klm and a 132 klm bike ride. I am getting used to being in the seat for longer periods now, but im not getting any quicker. Still averaging around 27 klm per hour. If I can do that in Iron man that will do.

I started seriously swimming as well and knocked up 22 klm in the water. I managed 3 Ocean swims as well which did my confidence the world of good. The wet-suit was great and my fears about it being to tight were unfounded.  I am averaging around 22 mins per klm at the moment so if I can do that at Iron man I will be pleased. Best thing is I can swim a couple of klms with no real fatigue.

Running went well and I managed to hit my 10 klm per day average. I ran with Boner in the City to Surf marathon which we did in a fairly respectable 3.34, just fading off 3.30 pace in the last 10 klm.

Last Friday I turned 50, know real celebration, I think I made up for it on the Saturday night.

Oh thats right I did my first Parkrun a timed 5klm run, wanted to go under 20 mins and managed a 19.35 so was very happy with  that.
