Going for Ironman number 4

I have just finished a massive three-week training block. This included a week at high altitude and exploring some massive climbs on long bike session, swimming in an beautiful lake and running in fresh mountain air.

The company of other athletes of all ages and abilities during the week was stimulating.

Having suffered a leg injury bout nine months ago - and still feeling the effects of it - has slowed me down slightly. I'm working on getting my head around spending a little longer on the course on race day.

Having finished this training block has left me feeling a lot more confident about finishing may 4th full Ironman.
