Adventure racing vs Ironman

Oh no, my head has been turned to adventure racing by a colleague...... I know I'm already signed up for a 70.3 and I'm looking to do a full ironman in August but these do look interesting

Crumbs up early tomorrow for 6 hour drive north to Scotland, trainers and tea bags are packed?!

Blocks

The good thing about a morning run around the streets near my hotel is that its very simple, down 5 blocks across 3 and back 5.

My only problem being away from home is the food. I'm eating out most evenings and its difficult to eat healthily, the portions are huge and dominated by meat!!!!

Crumbs do I bow !!!!

I'm Christmas shopping at Stanford shopping centre and I notice a chap with an IronMan sweatshirt. I ask him, which Ironman course he did, and then I notice his shirt says world championships. So my question turns into how was Hawaii. OK he said this is the second time I've done it and I'm still walking.

Wow. I was gobsmacked. What do I do now..... bow.

Anyway shopping all done and off for a cup of tea, oh blast Americans don't do tea!?

San Francisco here I come

Wow it only seems like yesterday since I was here. I'm currently sitting in the British Airways executive lounge waiting for my flight from London to San Francisco (10:30). My hotel has a swimming pool and gym, so there will be no excuses for getting in some training, also the weather is much better than here in London.

Oh well I'm off to get a cup of tea.

Hurumph .....

My application for the London marathon was rejected. Over the past 10 years I've applied 8 times, all rejected. I would have got an automatic place this year, however I did not apply in 2003, I was moving house, this broke my application concurrency. I have to wait until 2009 to get a place now??!?!?

Hmm ok back to training.
