Very busy so difficult to get any rhythm. Set-out to do ten 200s on 3:15 but just too crowded. Did 30 mins at tempo/fast.

14th June - Half-Ironman Triathlon
2009 UK Ironman 70.3 (Half-Ironman) Champs, Exmoor
Total time - 5:20:25 (PB by 35 minutes)
16th out of 136 in age category, missed out on world champs qualification by just 1:50!!!
Great day, really pleased to slash my PB for this course (5:55). After an average swim I had a strong bike leg and PB'd by 14 minutes feeling good on the hills. Despite a lack of run fitness and training I did a good PB for the run off the bike on this course which is also quite hilly. Very happy to run through jelly legs quickly and strongly throughout.
1.2 mile swim - 35:19
T1 (4:14)
56 mile bike - 3:01:02 (PB)
T2 (1:57)
Half-marathon - 1:37:55 (PB)
Team Whinfell Harriers: Fordy 5:50, Champ 6:15, Crazy-horse 6:22, Maurice 6:55 - great efforts by all.

6th June - Bike
Hill reps on Ditchling Beacon, Sussex with 30 min warm-up and warm-down ride in from Haywards Heath.
10 reps (@ 1.44km, 135m ascent, average gradient 9.4%)
Total session time (up+down 1 hr 36:15)
Really wasn't looking forward to this session and it was a killer but I felt strong and did a PB by 14:42! Last did this session on 8th Nov 2008 where I averaged 8:16 per uphill lap. This time I did 7:11 per uphill lap, laps were more consistent and faster. Feel much happier about next weekend's hilly half-ironman course having done this session.
Splits for uphill reps:
7:09.4
7:05.3
7:04.3
7:09.4
7:16.2
7:15.4
7:28.8
7:20.4
7:09.6
