I did it!









I finished the 2008 UK Ironman 70.3 in 7 hours, 6 minutes and 18 seconds. I'll update the full report soon. Here there are some pictures of the event! A huge thanks to Chris and Karis for the great support over the weekend and for having spent the whole weekend with me. I've really appreciated your time and effort! You guys are amazing!

10 days to go

10 days to go... 10 days to the big event.
I'm tapering, I'm also trying to loose fat and not muscle. And the high protein-low fat- low carbs diet is back. I'm starving, and the consumption of diet coke raised a lot. I'm almost nearby the liter per day. in addiction to all the other food. 
Today open water swim. I need to cover the distance, at least 1900m. As usual, at the Bittell reservoir, in Barnt green. Saturday and Sunday I'll not do much, next week possibly a 5K run, some rest, one swim in open water (again....). I'm tapering but I'm feeling tired. Maybe because I've skipped one sleeping night at the very beginning of the week, thanks to work, and this reflected on all my week. I started to be scared about the racing day. I wish to have more time to train, but I want to race now. It is complicated. And scaring.
