Just been out with the local Triathlon club

Had a good ride today, only about 30 miles but not too fast, not too slow. It was a friendly bunch of mixed ability but they were generally pretty fit.

Here are some pics of my new bike.

New bike imminent!

I've had another set back this week, I've had a bloody cold! there's loads of it flying around at the minute, so no training again. Oh well not to worry at least I've been sleeping well which is good and the cold has just about gone, I went for a run yesterday but only did two miles as I felt crap, so I'll give it another day or two.
Unexpectedly my new bike is being delivered Monday so I might get chance to give that a go as I have the day off. The only problem is it could be delivered any time between 8:00am-6:00pm!

Running finally feels good!

After six weeks of running it's going quite well, better than expected if I'm honest. I went from two miles up to four miles and each run hurt quite a lot. My legs are strong from the years of biking but my lungs struggled to keep up with my legs as the breathing is completely different to biking. Plus your body takes time to adjust to running as it's high impact. Anyhow the last run I did was another four miler and I've knocked five minutes off my time in two weeks. I'm now at 33 minutes for four miles and it will only continue to drop, in fact I expect it to drop quite a bit over the next couple of weeks. I'll see how it goes but I might move up to six miles soon so I'm quite happy with my progress. [Edit] Just remembered, I have also gone down a waist size and have virtually got rid of my love handles, in fact there is almost a six pack down there. So get running if you're tubby!

Can't wait for my new bike to come, it's one of these:-

Cannondale CAAD 9

:-)

When the new bike comes it won't be long before I'm knocking out a 100 mile ride, I could probably do it tomorrow to be honest, at a steady pace.
I've yet to start my swim training, I was going to go today but I've woke up with a cold, Sod's law!

Latest training

My current road bike has died on me so I've ordered a new one.
As a result I have been mainly running, in just a couple of weeks I have gone from a 34 to a 32 waist and the time for my four mile run is now ten minutes quicker than it was three weeks ago!
