19 Weeks - Ironman Weekend (56 weeks till IMOZ 2011)

Last weekend was the Australian Ironman. Congratulations to all who entered and kudos to those who finished. This is the ultimate goal and the reason for my shot at the Half Ironman in 19 weeks. Although they have removed the need to qualify, beating the old qualifying time is still my target. This will give me the confidence to compete with the expectation of making the distance.
I discovered that the gastro bug I thought I had ended up being a gall stone lodged in the bile duct and kept me a bit off colour (yellow actually) for most of the week. I tried to keep running, but those who have had this problem will attest to the fact it involves a degree of discomfort. I exchanged my long ride for 2 hrs on the trainer to avoid being 1hr away from town and then getting an attack.

1 x swim: - 19:35 - 700m
2 x runs: 1:29:23- 14.86 km
1 x trainer: 2:00:00
Overall 3:48:58 for the week.
Weight 82.1kg - Higher than target, but still falling.
Week ending Midday Sat 3rd Apr 2010
