Ironman training report 4
By Julien, Monday 16 June 2008 at 10:36 :: Ironman :: #109 :: rss
My last training session ended yesterday. Let's face it, it was a bit of a disaster.
Because of the very bad weather followed by a trip to Hong-Kong, I didn't manage to take a single long ride. I haven't swum much either. And I feel fairly slow when running - whilst Börkur is getting sub-40 on 10km, I feel like I'm going towards an over-50
How much have I lost in a month, I don't know... Maybe I'm tired, maybe I'm overtraining. The only positive point is that I'm not injured and I'll hopefully be well-rested for the race day.
I've eventually tried my wetsuit in the sea yesterday, a Foor Quantum 2 that I managed to pay 1/3 off. It's pretty easy to wear and remove, warm but not too constrictive whilst swimming. At least something I'm happy about
I guess the only thing I've got left is my mental. I'll try to keep on building up mental energy this week and try my best on Sunday. With a bit of luck I'll get through.
My race number will be 415. If you've got nothing else to do that week-end, you should be able to follow live on ironman.com.
Ultra unprepared.
