Posted on November 23, 2010 by lord_lordy

New Approach

Posted on November 17, 2010 by lord_lordy

The picture may look like the last entry but it’s not. This is the “official” graph of my lactate test results not the one I hacked together. Even though my previous post was merely stating a change in approach I … Continue reading →

Posted on November 11, 2010 by lord_lordy

About To Taper

Posted on February 20, 2010 by lord_lordy

Yesterday was my last ‘over distance’ ride pre Taupo. I’d been getting a little nervous that since Epic Camp I’d done no big rides. I’ve been riding strong but not really got out and ridden for longer than 6 hours. … Continue reading →

End Of Another Year

Posted on December 31, 2009 by lord_lordy

Another year comes to an end. I don’t think I’ve ever finished a year in as good a shape as I have this one. It’s quite amazing to think I’ve gone from being in a wheelchair to completing an Ironman … Continue reading →

Run Review

Posted on December 30, 2009 by lord_lordy

Seems a bit of a farce to be reviewing my running this year. It was pretty terminal. So instead I’ll let you know I’ve just had a rest day (other than squad swim)  and went to see Avatar in 3D … Continue reading →

Bike Review

Posted on December 27, 2009 by lord_lordy

Quite pleased to be doing a review of my biking because it seems to have improved so much this year. I feel so strong on the bike currently especially when riding on flats / false flats. Quite a change from … Continue reading →
