After the event

An easy day today catching up with emails but staying at home as I knew I'd be tired.  Surprisingly my legs feel good but the blisters on my feet are the sorest part.  I've been eating all day as I start to try and put a few pounds back on.I've put a race report on my tri club blog and you can access this by going to http://www.athelite.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/lanzarote-race-report.html .  You will see a reference at the end to people following the event on Facebook.  When I got back I was stunned at the traffic with people tracking me during the day and getting excited about the end result.  I've almost raised £5,000 for Maggie's Cancer Caring Centres so far and if you haven't contributed yu can do so by linking via the blog.
In about a months time I will start some light training with the Marathon des Sables in mind (April next year).  However I need something to keep me interested so I am considering a "half ironman" distance event in Fort William in September.  I need something to judge my progress against. Enjoy your summer.
