Ok, the money is gone and I am all good to go. I paid for the 70.4 and the 140 today. was actually a little worried when i clicked send as it all became a little more real and since there is no refunds i am kind of really commited now.
Planning remains the focus of the day and Lizzy and I spent some time this evening before work looking at the best way to get in everything we want to do next year. Our two options were 1 to make the year about 2 months longer or to try to ration what we do, since neither of these are realistic i guess we are just going to be busy.
I think that i will need to really keep in mind that there is a balance to be struck between training and having a life, and i suppose keeping lizzy happy too. We have blocked out holidays and training blocks etc and penned in key events for next year that i am not allowed to miss and have put in big letters the three weeks away after Maryland so that is looking good.
so far training has been a little low key, one session a day with the odd day missed, i am riding to work daily which is good (though not very far) and its noce to beable to relax a little though with two races still to go, Helvellyn and Ulswater i mustn’t get to complacent.
My aim for the last races dependant on distance is to have fun on Helvellyn and then try to end on a big high with a good result at Ulswater. I think a good result would be average pace of about 5-5:15/km so close to an hour though i think ulswater is about 12km so maybe a little over.
With those two in the bag i plan to finish the year with a little bit of weights and then take December off from training and just relax and really plan the early build session for 2015 and of course i shall share the plans here with you all 1st.
see you next time
