It's all about the bike

I took advantage of the good weather today and did a 4 hr, 60 mile session.  Average speed of 15 mph is ok but considering the wind I came back into I was pleased with it.  I felt tired and stiff getting off the bike but within 15 minutes was moving around fine.  The thought of doing 112 mile bike then running a marathon, having swam 2.4 miles, doesn't compute but I don't need to concern myself with that till May 2012.  My focus is on 19 June UK 70.3 IM and after the Etape 81 mile race my training will involve a lot of brick sessions i.e. bike then run.
As I've said before "a goal without a plan is just a wish".  If you've got things you want to achieve in life then get them written down. 
Sadly we lost Seve Ballesteros today at the age of 54.  We've one life, live it and don't postpone things you wan to do or achieve saying "I'll do that when I get there".  There doesn't exist, it keeps moving.  Adios Seve.
