1 x 26 mile road bike (no probs)
1 x 7 mile run (painful)
1 x 10 mile CX bike (no probs)
1 x 5 mile run (no probs)
And another 5 miler planned for this evening, so I think I can start moving on now - it was just over 2 weeks ago so just have to watch the distance.
The debate I'm having with myself though, is what to target for next year? They don't get much bigger than the iron distance, at least not without some serious running distances (and they're not for me I'm sure) so do I do some quality shorter ones? I can understand why people keep entering iron distance though, it gives you a real focus a long way off. Shorter distances need less preparation and therefore I wouldn't have one big target, but a few smaller ones.
I probably just need to get my head round it, get some entered and plan accordingly.
The cyclocross season starts towards the end of September, so that will keep me occupied until Christmas, and there's 3 x off-road duathlons I could enter if I find a few quid (they are £40 each!), and that even leads me into wondering if to try a few duathlons instead of triathlons. That would alleviate the swimming pressure.
..and then there's the Olympic distance triathlons that would probably suit me quite well now that my cycling is up to speed.
Watch this space.
