Light at the end of the tunnel
Well, we're finally getting close to the end of all the pain and hard graft in our training sessions, not to mention the sacrifices and selfishness of neglecting my family for so long. It's only 3 weeks this Sunday until Ironman!!! Last week we got our race numbers (my bib No is 1068) and the race notes, for race week and the day itself. I'll be posting a link on Facebook for the live tracker, on the day. The past month or so has seen a big increase in the amount of work that we're doing in our sessions. It seemed to start with the Team True Spirit training day, which was held at Eccleston Delph. We did a long swim and then went out on the bikes to do a loop of the Ironman course, finished off with a shortish run off the bike. It was heavy rain for the majority of the day, so there were a few sense of humour failures and lots of splits in the bike groups. I ended up riding most of the loop alone, after being dropped on a climb, until I caught up with Chris from Tea...
