Away from the RAF Tri scene whilst serving in Saudi, young Bally - fast man and Ironman specialist - is still associated with tri in some respect!! Not quite the tri that we are used to! Bally assures me that he will be attaching tri-bars to this fine piece of machinery. However, in order to carry around the vast amount of pies he now consumes, the basket stays.Martin was visiting for a course at Halton and it was good to see the youngster! Seriously, he is finding it difficult to train with triathlon as a goal. His environment is not training friendly. Nevertheless, I think we have not seen the last of Ironman Bally.......he will be back, I am sure.
Since I competed at Odiham I have been feeling rather tired. Took a couple of easy days Thursday and Friday and then did a steady 12 mile run on Saturday. Today I did a very easy 20 miles on the bike to finish off my easy week, but still felt tired. I hope I can recapture the strong feeling I had whilst racing at Odiham. The RAF Champs are fast approaching (Sat 21 Jun) and I will do a quality bike session on Tuesday and then tick over till the race. Some good warm weather would be good!

Did you manage to train with Bally? I can see him making a comeback and most probably a very strong one at that.
Didn't get to train but may link up on Thursday for a little joget! He is now playing squash and football but once he returns to the UK I think he will relish the challenge of getting back his bike legs!
Please say hello and tell him how well his bike is going, 4:26 at the Etape and a good leg in Vancouver!
See if you can tempt him into Roth 09 ...
