Road to recovery

This weekend I will start on my road to recovery with some light turbo training on the bike.  I've been advised that if I start coughing then I should stop.  I may stay out the pool until later on in the week as having a coughing fit may encourage drowning!  My target is to be ok for Lanzarote in 2 weeks time.  I know I won't be in full fitness but by the time I get back I will be a long way down the road.  My main objective is to go round the 112 mile Ironman course to see what I will be covering in May 2012.
In the meantime Neil is making great progress.  His assistant coach Maz tells me he did 14 lengths of the pool  on Wednesday with only two short breaks - that's unbelievable.  He may have been completely knackered afterwards but it shows what you can achieve when you want to.  I'll catch up with him next week and see how his power walking is progressing.  He will be getting a static bike in the next two weeks which will be the start of his bike training.  He's a man on a mission!
