Winters back

The wind is howling outside and the rain is battering the windows. Today a number of my club mates were taking part in numerous events. The woman's 10k, the Glasgow Novice and Sprint Triathlon, the Fort William half marathon and the Etape Caledonian. However they had to perceiver in horrendous conditions, but they did. Their training will have paid off and this is the start a busy season for them. For me it is almost the end of the season as Lanzarote Ironman is my "A" Race and I do not have any other races organised this year. I will take a month to six weeks to recover before starting my training for Marathon des Sables which is in April next year. During my recovery I'll be catching up with my wife, family, friends and dusting down my golf clubs and see if I can get my handicap back. But now off to bed as the taxi is picking me up at 3.45am. I'll keep in touch in the build up to the race. Hope your weather improves!
