I completed Ironman Wales in September 2014, blogging to raise money for Macmillan and to keep motivated with training. I'm keeping it ticking over as I enjoyed it and regret the loss of the original beasting blog from some years ago when fundraising in memory of Dave Scrutton.

Riding High
My ride home tonight was fantastic other than traffic. I wish my watch had a setting to nullify traffic impact and show comparable ride on closed roads. No i don't, i wish traffic wasn't such a problem. Very frustrating when I'm trying to set land speed records. I did a sneaky rep of hill up past Beaumont stables (fond memories of horse riding hijinks from there). Came down a windy 13% decline hill as need the practice. Overall it was one of those rides on which i felt the wind whistling in my tri bars and legs felt like steam engine pistons. Looking forward to telling you about a couple of rides i have coming up. Also i bought a cycling magazine in hospital last week and applied a couple of tips to my ride today around efficiency. Getting back up to speed after a stop and putting effort in up hills were main two. Something else i need to get more practiced at is drinking on the go. A tip I read is to set watch to beep every 15 mins on bike and take a sip. I'm going now as knackered. Nit a very creative one tonight.
