Pointy end of Ironman WA - Run, Christo, Run!!

Last Sunday was a massive 36km run. This Sunday will be a 31km run with a guy I’ve done a bit of running training with, Terry Cameron. He’s entered IMWA again as an individual. His weekend will be 200kms of cycling on Sat and the 31km run with me on Sunday (both early morning starts)

Tonight, I will cycle down to AK Reserve for the John Gilmour 10km State Championship (I will start in the ‘old fat’ division of those posting slower than 40mins. I’m looking forward to being able to better my 45min time from last year.

I’ve been doing solid 12km runs every day this week. My rear Tufo tyre has punctured so a new tubular tyre must now be ordered and affixed. The Great Perth Bike Ride on next weekend and Anaconda is on this weekend down at Augusta.

Lots happening - Power Station Triathlon on Sun 14 Nov at North Coogee. Its now just 4 weeks till Ironman Western Australia. Have downloaded the competitors booklet. So many rules. I really can’t wait for it this time. It’s no secret that I’d love to break the 4hr mark in the marathon but lots of obstacles to overcome to achieve this. I passed a guy on my bike this morning who was running and had ‘Sub 3.30 Bus’ on his shirt, indicating he was sub 3hr30m marathon runner.

A mate of mine at work, Steve Dunn, travels to Las Vegas in 4 weeks for a marathon over there. I know that as part of early Busso Half Ironman prep I’m going to have to start swimming again - I just don’t like swimming , that’s all!!

I’ll do the Team Force group ride tomorrow morning. Try to save some gas (this aim is usually never achieved though)
