Today was always going to be tough following the 5 hours on the bike yesterday, but add to that the heat and it was always going to be challenging. A brick session was in store today which is a one hour bike followed by a 75 minute run - strong winds added to the challenge but kept the temperature down. My legs felt great on the bike and I practiced my feeding on the bike which is so important. During the run I was staying hydrated and feeling good but towards the end my legs could feel the effort from the weekend. This doesn't concern me as it is all about your mindset - mine today was set for the task which was completed in the appropriate time and on 15 August the mindset will be on the three aspects of the event.
Plenty food to follow and even a couple of pints of Guinness (which contains iron!) as tomorrow is a day off.

Can't believe how focused you are and that no matter what gets in your way you keep going - your goal and the good it will do for others probably helps.
ReplyDeleteMr Baldy got out tonight after being in The Beatson for 6 days for his 3rd chemo, and no matter what delays, barfing, etc he endures his mindset to get to the next stage in his treatment and eventually to reach his goal of beating this disease (about the same time you will reach your ironman goal)keeps him going. He plans to make use of Maggie's over the next few weeks, thanks to people like you. Mrs Baldy
Great news Mrs Baldy and thank you for keep us up to date. Most people have no idea the support cancer suffers require and how much this costs so until a cure is found we will keep raising as much money as it takes. I am pleased Mr Baldy will be going to Maggie's - it's a real haven.
