I BLOOMIN' WELL DID IT

Image
Hola  Well I did it. I faced the jelly fish, spent over 3 hours in the saddle and then sang Geordie Munro around 13kms of a very very very long running course. I did a half ironman.  I am sore but so proud of getting there and I did need that motivation from TRI-ing for The Rovers especially on the run. If I could have stopped I would have!  Still time to show your support at  http://www.raithtrust.org.uk/?p=2182 Carol.

Wow it has been a long time since I prepared a paella and bovril. Well I have been busy, busier than I thought I would be to be honest.  As some of you may know from previous servings of PnB I have been on a triathlon journey with Raith and this year I decided to go long, 1.9km swim, 90km cycle and a half marathon run to finish off. So 8 months ago I got back into the training routine and my word I don't think I was quite ready for the time commitment.  5 to 6 days a week either in the water, on the saddle or in my running shoes sometimes up to 5 hours a day. I just about had enough time to tune in to the Rovers during the season.  I hope this rather larger than normal dish of paella and bovril will explain a little.  TRIing for the Rovers.  Just like one Brownlee brother helped the other across the finish line I am gonna need  some help getting to mine, and thru the 7 hours it will take to get there!  Please help a me on my 70.3 triathlon journey
