In two days Iain TwinBikeRun and I will both take part in the Celtman Solo Point Five race. We’ve done it before – see here – so I know the course and the challenge of swimming with jellyfish, cycling up the Beach Na Ba and running around Ben Eighe. It would be better if I also had the legs and arms to do all three rather than just the knowledge but, with two months of illness due TwinBikeChild bringing home every bug from her nursery, my training has been broken and inconsistent.

But, looking at my report from last time, I might still be in better shape than I thought going into the last race. Back then, I’d fractured my foot and had barely run in two months. At least this time I ‘recovered’ from the nursery bugs at the start of May and have at least 5 – 6 weeks of training.

12 weeks would be better. But at least I’ve been swimming, cycling and running as preparation rather than just swimming and cycling like last time.

Fingers crossed!
