Another race looms! I am still fatigued from Wednesday’s race! On Sunday 27 July I compete in the Trentham Gardens Gatorade Big Half (Half ironman distance). This distance sort of suits me because the swim is only 400m longer than an Olympic distance swim, yet the bike and run are twice as far. I do need to recover from last Wednesday though. I have just ran 13.2 miles and although I was ok once I got going, the last couple of miles felt tough. That said, last year it was taking me a week to recover from an Olympic distance race. Am I in better condition this year?!
I need a long steady bike session and the dreaded 6 x 6 mins at 330W bike session. Also, I need a short sharp run session……….all before Friday to give me a couple of days to ‘taper’!
Pete Daulby caught a good action shot from the Inter-Services swim. It clearly shows that I was not last out of the water and he was good enough to chop my bald patch off the pic!!

I'm having problems working that out!
You're in fine shape buddy, don't overdo it in the last week.
Yep, be careful, although that said I've just completed a fairly monster week, run 27 miles since Wednesday ... and clocked up around 20 hours training this week including racing Gullane. Next week is huge too with my own HIM on Tuesday, looking then to absorb the load so into recovery weeks, that's what you need after your Half and cut out those high wattage turbo sessions, they are NOT necessary!
