Yes it's getting hot again out here in desert. What an odd couple of weeks it's been, I'm back into ironman training after south Africa and I have to say that I'm hating it, well iwas hating it, but I seem now to be back in the zone. As the temperature has risen outside things at work have got a little busy too and I'm trying to keep my head down and get on with things.
Training has been going well, apart from last week which was when I hit my brick wall and simply hated everything to do with ironman. It could last for long and after a couple of great session I was back in the grove and enjoying(ish) again ;-)
Elsewhere, things have gone mad in the ironman world, for example Crowie pulled out of IMOz due a chest infection?! Then IMChina had it's swim cancelled due to works happening in the lake and then the WTC made the decision that they were going to cancel the whole thing. Which meant that 25 of the slots for kona were given to IMKorea, great 75 in total, but on the flip side it also means that a load of other athletes will now be making the journey to Jeju Island on 3rd July to race, mmmmm not sure how I feel, but if I want to be on the start in kona come october and race the best I've got to beat the no easy slots here, lottery or something similar, I believe in qualifying fair and square, otherwise I'm sure it wouldn't mean as much to me.
Right that's it for now, I'll keep updating on my training as it's only 7 weeks till race in south Korea, not long.
Be safe,
Ed
