Blockage.

It's not a very pleasant subject to ponder on, but the recent sad case of April Jones who was abducted and murdered by Bridger has sent the press into a small frenzy about what they say is the ease of access to on-line porn.  The background is that Bridger was found to have pictures of child porn on his PC which (they say) drove him to commit the crime and therefore is (one of) the reasons he did it.
Now, although I have not read about this case extensively (it's too upsetting, to be honest)  I did read about his stash of pictures of young girls, how he had cartoons showing sadistic acts with girls as well as pictures taken from facebook of local girls including April.  So, apart from the cartoons, there didn't seem to be a great deal of 'child porn' involved unless, of course, the press knew more than they were publishing when I read it. 
The biggest headline I saw in the newsagent was on the Daily Mail that seemed to blame Google for allowing him to access such things and they should act '...to block child porn now!'.  The thing is, The Daily Mail online is full of scantily clad images of young women and girls that would have been on the shopping list of this Bridger fellow, so it's a bit rich of them to try and deflect attention onto Google.  I would be so ironic if Google blocked Daily Mail online.

As for training, I have the 70.3 on Sunday which I am looking forward to.  I managed a decent 1500m swim on Wednesday evening and 28 miles on the bike last night so I feel I have tapered sufficiently without stopping completely.
The swim brought my attention to a sore arm which worries me a little - it restricted my stretching out with my left arm - but I'm hoping that was just down to hacking away at a tree stump on the same day.  The bike ride reminded me of my dodgy right knee (it started to ache) and when I had finished, the inside of my left leg started aching due to my abductor strain, so apart form that I'm as fit as a fiddle!  The thing is, I won't know how I'm feeling until the run, and with 13 miles to go it's a long way.
I investigated older 70.3 finishing times for my age group, and if I pick a mid-point as a benchmark, 6hrs 30mins seems to be a reasonable target.  I suppose I expect swim + bike to take just over 4 hrs (unless transitions are longer than I'm expecting) so 6hrs should be within my grasp, but ever the pessimist I'm going for 6hr 30mins.  Race report on Monday.
