2nd day on the chinese carbon. Route is 50% river path comprising of gravel tracks & flat cobble The other 50% is London roads. So far, the chinese carbon hasn't exploded, cracked or burst into flame. It's very hard to gauge if there's any performance advantage due to the stop/start nature, but the frame dampens the bumps nicely, and the 105 groupo clicks accurately. Commute times are currently in much the same ball park as on my old alu frame.

Awesome!!!!

@gobonas99 congratulations! Looks like a great race!

gobonas99

thanks! The best part is that since the hubs is working and can't go, my BFF is going to come with me and be my sherpa and cheerleader!

She is a fellow tri buff, and was training for IM Lake Placid on the 26th, but is now sidelined for 6-9 months with a broken foot. She was like "if I can't race, I can sure as hell scream my lungs out" LOL

Slow long run this morning with friends along with a bit of bike commuting to/from baseball and dinner with friends to watch the world cup finals. Over-ate, but given my lifting, I probably should be looking to take advantage of it and put on some muscle vs. continuously cutting now that I'm into a "normal" weight range.

I'm finding it really hard to get a good balance of swim, cycle & run training in. I guess this is one of the hard parts of it, squeezing it all in. Last week (mon- sun), i did 6hrs 55 minutes. 5hr 55 of cycling and 1 hour of swimming. Running took a knock. Not sure quite how to get a better balance. Looks like this:

Mon - (maybe i can squeeze a lunchtime run here?)
Tues - cycle to work/back (1hr 15 each way approx)
Weds - swim
Thurs - cycle to work/back (1hr 15 each way approx)
Fri - (maybe i can squeeze a lunchtime run or swim here?)
Sat -
Sun -

Need to keep sat/sun clear for family time, which could involve some jogging with the child, or not! Its his time.

Also finally lost that toenail that has been working its way off! The toenail to the left will be coming off soon too!
