Not so good for: Confidence (if I get my arse kicked by the guys)
So, before I decided to take on my latest challenge of 2-Ironmans-in-6-weeks, I had signed up for a cycle holiday across the Pyrenees. Called Coast-to-Coast, with 800+km of cycling over 19,000+m of ascent from the East Coast of the Pyrenees (Perpignan) to the West Coast of the Pyrenees (Biarritz), I had my challenge set out for me. But not an entirely new challenge, as I had done something similar across the Alps, starting from Switzerland and ending in Nice. But I digress.....
Two weeks plus after Ironman Copenhagen and I can finally run again. As in, run faster than the 6:20 min/km pace I was running a few days after the race. I am back to my racing ways of 4:50 min/km of easy running, yay! And next week we head off to France for a crazy week of cycling.
The hope? Boost my cycle strength and do Ironman Barcelona in 10:15. There. I said it. Another 17 minutes off my current PB set in Copenhagen 2 weeks ago, which was almost 20 minutes better than my previous PB from 2011. Game on...
