The Distance in a Week.

I thought doing the Ironman distance over a week would be a piece of cake. Now 3 weeks since I tried to do it..im almost there. last week my bike was short by 40km. Could have easily done that extra bit on sunday evening but - didn't.

my plan was:
run 15, 15, 17 ( mon , wed, friday) =42k
bike 30,30, 120 ( tue , thurs, sun) =180k
swim 2,2 (tues thu) =4k

Does not actually seem THAT hard right? - so why haven't I done it yet ? - to think this was actually a benchmarking exercise to base my training intensity.

Anyway...this i my last week to do it before the holidays when i will be bike-less. So hopefully i can get a real long ride in on Friday. Probably will fall short on the running though..since i probably save myself for the Malakoff run on Sunday.

With 70+ days to the Ironman ..i think im doing ok(at least im out there 6 days a week). But need to keep pushing. Targets are easier set than acheived.
