The cheque's in!

Despite being detached down to Lincolnshire, I managed to slot in a quick swim yesterday afternoon. Only 2km but every bit of training helps! I am trying to work on bilateral breathing as I know it will be important when the waves decide to start hitting me in the face on my breathing side! My £250 deposit cheque was popped in the post this morning to Eddie who will hopefully confirm my place over the next week. Hoping to get another training session in on Friday - it is hard once you get out of your own routine but I must keep putting the effort in! Spoke to John, a Sports Masseur at the tri club as I think it will be important for me to have maybe a monthly massage to keep everything loose but hopefully I won't be plagued by the same sort of impact problems I get when I'm running.
Right, back to work!

Hey Rach,

So August 08 or 09?? Not sure how much I'll be able to track your progress from Costa Rica if its 08 but I'll try!!

If its 09, we'll have to come along to support you - the Ironman Support Team can reunite!!

We need to plan in the Marathon d'Sables for some point before we're both 30 too!!

Love you, very proud of you! Know that you'll succeed!
