3rd Dec

Sat morning and its the Mudman duathlon, which is run 8km, ride 16km, run 8km all off road.
All was going well in the race and I was around the top 15 on the 3rd and last lap of the bike section when my bloody chain snapped and I lost about 10 mins repairing it!! SOD IT...
Limped the bike back to transition and then set off for the run, before the bike broke I was in front of competitor number 9 who finished 10th overall.
Finished 30th in the end which was not too bad considering the bike issue and it was bloody tough!

Below is a link for the results, next time top 10...

1st Dec 2011

It’s Thursday which means swimming training, which helps my core strength and is helping to prevent injuries from running. Swim session was going well and for once I hit a brick wall about 3/4 through it, which was a first. Arms and legs were fine and then eventually over about 3 lengths I just ran out of energy and stopped. Not sure what caused it, mixture of not eating properly (enough carbs) and then night mountain biking the previous night!
