Final days training today which started with a one mile sea swim. It was beautifully calm and it was good to get some more experience in the sea swimming with the fish which can sometime give you a wee surprise. After that it was a full English breakfast and then back to the apartment for a rest and some rehydration which is so important in this heat.
After my rest I went out for my final run. I made sure it was fast and hard as I knew when it was finished I had no more training to do. There was the option of a bike ride but after yesterday I didn´t want to push the limits any more - there was nothing left to prove on the bike after that epic day.
So tomorrow we fly home. The ATHelite team of Gareth, Graeme and Dawn all a bit browner, fitter and tired. It´s so good being part of a team when you are pushing yourself because they help you when you need it as you do them - thanks guys. Gareth and I will be back out for the Ironman event on May 19th and there´s a lot more training to do before we arrive here. We´re on schedule and feeling good. I think we deserve some good food and a few extra beers tonight! Tomorrow is a rest day. Looking forward to getting home and seeing the family. :-))
