IMFL - 4th time a charm?: Hayle Standard Distance Triathlon
http://imfl-3rdtimelucky.blogspot.com/2009/07/hayle-standard-distance-triathlon.html
IMFL - 4th time a charm? So in 2008 I failed to live up to the billing again! 2009 had better be good, this chase is costing a fortune. Tuesday, 28 July 2009. Hayle Standard Distance Triathlon. Vo2 Max Lab Testing at Exeter Uni). I racked my bike and my bike/run gear in transition which was one of the most organised and spacious transitions I’ve seen, plenty of room for all of your gear and bike with none of the cramped up spaces that you find at most races. Brilliant job folks! Did I mention the rain).

IMFL - 4th time a charm?: 6 months and counting.

IMFL - 4th time a charm? So in 2008 I failed to live up to the billing again! 2009 had better be good, this chase is costing a fortune. Saturday, 9 May 2009. 6 months and counting. Who knows, but I decided that as I was feeling so easy I could afford to let my HR rise by 5bpm. Not a big factor because I’d come into the race playing the safety card and in theory I ‘should’ be able to run it at close to 160bpm if required. 10miles done at a jog in 1:09:20, things were looking good. I hadn’t been able...

We stood in the clubhouse looking out to sea as they put the swim bouys out. "Are you sure that's the right distance? We asked. "It looks like a long way". A tiny field, but a win is a win (so they say) and a rare race where the swim takes longer than the run. Happy Days in the rain. 15 June 2009 at 19:28. Follow me ...

IMFL - 4th time a charm? So in 2008 I failed to live up to the billing again! 2009 had better be good, this chase is costing a fortune. Friday, 31 October 2008. Well, as I type this there’s 24hrs until the big kick off and I’m feeling sh*te! So now I was even going to have to pay over the odds if I wanted one. A couple of texts went off to club coach/equipment geek Toasty and he recommended the more expensive BlueSeventy over the 2XU. Could I justify the expense? Thursday, 30 October 2008. The original p...

IMFL - 4th time a charm?: Exe Valley Tri

IMFL - 4th time a charm? So in 2008 I failed to live up to the billing again! 2009 had better be good, this chase is costing a fortune. Thursday, 14 May 2009. A week after Neolithic Marathon, after training 18hrs in 10 days (my biggest consistant block this year) I found myself in Tiverton for the Exe Valley Sprint Triathlon. So do you rest up in advance of such a race? Finally I jogged into the finish with the 75th fastest run time of 22:44, around 5mins and 70 places from where I should have been.

IMFL - 4th time a charm? So in 2008 I failed to live up to the billing again! 2009 had better be good, this chase is costing a fortune. Wednesday, 25 March 2009. But it didn't lead to a much improved performance, so was I really any different to the Iain who raced on whatever was available. I still had a nightmare on the run so in reality nothing changed. I've no idea. Will it propel me to greatness? Monday, 23 March 2009. Lazy lazy lazy days. That's about it really. There's nothing even vaguely inte...

IMFL - 4th time a charm? So in 2008 I failed to live up to the billing again! 2009 had better be good, this chase is costing a fortune. Monday, 17 August 2009. With this blog being called 3rd time lucky it's already close to 12 months out of date so to fit in with all the other guff that's going on it's being moved to http:/ devoniain.blogspot.com/. Nothing will really change except that hopefully I'll post a bit more regularly and it'll take a bit of time getting set up properly. See you over there :-).

IMFL - 4th time a charm? So in 2008 I failed to live up to the billing again! 2009 had better be good, this chase is costing a fortune. Thursday, 4 June 2009. Marazion Middle Distance Tri. Who organise the race are a top pairing and would let me enter at the very last minute if needs must. Even booking accomodation was a nightmare. Because Rosie is a nightmare and can't keep still in open spaces we decided it was easier to book a B&B. Wrong! We're not married, so we're not welcome! After registering, mee...

IMFL - 4th time a charm? So in 2008 I failed to live up to the billing again! 2009 had better be good, this chase is costing a fortune. Sunday, 28 September 2008. Saturday was another disaster for the new bike. I took the ZIPP's off on Friday and put the standard wheels on to see if I could get rid of the damn noise, it seemed to work so I kept them on for Saturdays ride - big mistake! So basically the deal is that in the last 2 weeks I've trained like an arse. 30hours in 10 days followed by 4 days o...
