    No, just keep fit and dossing. My bike and run km's are tiny in comparison! Swim is flattered as fat floats well, and I have an eye on some OW swim races in the summer:)

    Just a reminder that the sort order is Target Points and then SBR Score

    I fixed that a while back. Only one sort needed now. O/A rank. The target points are deducted from the SBR score (hence why Fazz is on -4) and ranked automatically.

    Finally I hit my first target-swim bronze, should have happened weeks ago but anyway....

    I'm still on a SBR Score of 38 however, target hit pts of -3 not accounted for yet, I'm sure MCOS will sort it :)

    Just a quick update on my training (post London marathon) which I would rather forget. Training for London went so well and I showed up really confident. Let's just say I wilted:
    Wilted: Verb
    1. (of a plant, leaf, or flower) Become limp through heat, loss of water, or disease; droop.
    2. (of a person) Lose one's energy or vigour.

    That verb is such an apt description. Heart rate at mile five was at race pace :eek: so I soldiered on, enjoyed the experience and finished in 4 hours. What I learned from the experience is that mentally I can turn a negative into a positive during a race. Call it bluffing myself but facing the pain afterwards is pretty devastating. I also learned not to spend the day before a marathon in the sun and to hydrate. Should have known better.....
    Needless to say recovery has been quick (one positive!).
    I have decided not to do IM Bolton this year. Not feeling the drive to train for it and on reflection maybe a little too ambitious (first IM).
    I am enjoying training at the moment and going to continue with this. May consider DCM but will see.
    Thank you for the PMs and apologies for the delay in replying, facing reality takes time.

    Sounds like you had a similar day to me in London. I swore I wouldn't overanalyse but it's still playing on my mind. Have no interest in making ammends with the marathon at the moment, they've been too unkind to me :D Think I'd had 3 good ones that went exactly to plan...out of 9(?) marathons thats a crappy percentage. :pac:

    With surgery lined up for 8 July, and a three week recovery before I can train again, that'll have me out of the pool and not running for 100days. I should be well down the list by then.

    Do you put down the actual distance or reflect how a "big person km" feels to you?

    And you should learn about recovery more instead of flogging out a hard 40k the day after, followed by a 3.5hr brick 2 days after a HIM.... ;)

    Fatigue/injury risk city.... population Jackyback :D:p

    You both could do with a few months off. 7 weeks now for me, and I'm only half way through my swim and run break :D
