Looking up...?

Over the last 9 months I have completed 3 hour runs, 6 hour bikes and 7 hour bricks, but no sessions have given me the satisfaction that the 50 mins of running and 3 hours of cycling have over the last 4 days. My ankle/shin seems to have cleared up and whilst my legs are reeling from a whole 8 miles of running (!) I think I've managed to avoid losing too much fitness.

I'm now pretty sure I'll be able to start in 10 days time (and hopefully finish as well...) and whilst it might not be the race I was dreaming of 5 weeks ago when training was going to plan, I am hoping that I'll be able to hold my head up high at the end of it.

The next few days are about a couple of longish sessions, more for confidence than anything else, and then taper, although I think I've had enough rest for 2 Ironman races over recent weeks...

...role on the 10th.
