Planning

With the training week in Lanza approach a planning meeting with my fellow Lanza Ironman Gareth was required. Checklists were drawn up to make sure we take all the necessary gear and with a 15kg luggage limit,the wardrobe will consist mainly of lycra! We need to take out our nutrition to make sure we can "feed on the bike" as we will be doing long rides. The bike is also booked in to the local bike genius Willie Bain. He will make sure my bike is in good working order and I'll have it back there before my trip in May.
Tonight I had a choice; group turbo session or a solo turbo session at home and I went for the latter to save travel time and win some "brownie points"! I'll have done the same session but on my own so you have to get the music right to motivate yourself as you aren't surrounded by sweaty athletes that you are trying to keep up with. It was tough but I feel great after it. Good nights sleep and I'll be ready for a swim in the morning.
