Tim Tom's Time To Think Turino! I dunno why anybody's doing this'. Sunday, 10 May 2015. Duathlon Doo', 'Triathlon Tim' call me what you like I've had a swim. This week I thought I would write out a basic training plan (below) and see if this would help motivate me. Monday was also the day that I paid £40 to enter the ballot for a place in the London 2016 Marathon. Do I really want to do this? Wednesday was a great day. On Wednesday, sticking to my plan, oh yes, I swam! Friday and my plan went to pot....

Tim Tom's Time To Think Turino!: Bike.Run.Bike.Run.Fail
http://challengemenace.blogspot.com/2015/04/bikerunbikerunfail.html
Tim Tom's Time To Think Turino! I dunno why anybody's doing this'. Saturday, 25 April 2015. BikeRun.Bike.Run.Fail. On reflection, the past week wasn't so bad on the training front. Well, it started well but just ended a trifle pants. Hmmm. Monday was a bicycle commute to work and back. On my trip to work I cycled a stretch I had never cycled before and indeed there be dragons! On my return I nearly killed a few folk because despite my bell ringing they just didn't want to move out of my way. If I was cer...

Tim Tom's Time To Think Turino!: No PBP. Another PB. A forest. Training for the olympics.

Tim Tom's Time To Think Turino! I dunno why anybody's doing this'. Saturday, 18 April 2015. No PBP. Another PB. A forest. Training for the olympics. Today I did not ride my planned PBP 300k qualifying event. There went my plans for PBP. Not to worry, I successfully completed same in 2011. I've got the medal. I haven't got the shirt though because I gave that to Chris. Phil Brown was running today too which was nice. He also achieved a PB and felt I had inspired him to do so. SJ running the London Marathon.

Tim Tom's Time To Think Turino!: June 2014
http://challengemenace.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Tim Tom's Time To Think Turino! I dunno why anybody's doing this'. Saturday, 28 June 2014. Did not post anything over past couple of weeks because I was away on my family holiday. Had a lovely time in Charmouth despite not riding a bike at all! Managed to complete a series of 5k runs, however, as depicted by the GPX track logs below. I dunno, but will post about same somewhere in time. Whilst away, I also swam a little. Oh, I did enjoy my holiday! Sadly, work resumes next week. Friday, 13 June 2014.

Tim Tom's Time To Think Turino!: December 2014

Tim Tom's Time To Think Turino! I dunno why anybody's doing this'. Wednesday, 31 December 2014. Lunar supporting Doo's Rapha challenge. Started this week with a lengthy commute - my regular commute with added k's to dig deeper into my Rapha Festive 500 challenge. How irritating it was that I had to work 12 hours before I could pedal home on this commute. Brr, it was starting to get cold too! Rapha ride 4 with The Phantom. Tuesday was just as cold as Monday! 3 pairs of socks and my feet still felt cold...

Tim Tom's Time To Think Turino!: August 2014
http://challengemenace.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Tim Tom's Time To Think Turino! I dunno why anybody's doing this'. Friday, 29 August 2014. Badger cooling and the Stroud 5 Valleys. Started the week by going for a blast around the AM SR 1 route. Had been ages since I last cycled this route and it re-reminded me what a great loop it was. Kay-O, my single-speed road bike was my weapon of choice. I had almost forgotten how awesome she was too - even better now she is equipped with a dynamo hub and front light. Well, guess what . Sure enough, I found one wi...

Tim Tom's Time To Think Turino!: February 2015
http://challengemenace.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Tim Tom's Time To Think Turino! I dunno why anybody's doing this'. Friday, 27 February 2015. Snowdrops and such like. Saturday was a great start to my week (in 2015, all my weeks start on Saturday). This was the day that I completed the Snowdrop. Audax for the 4th time (I think). The Snowdrop Express (as it's actual full title) is a great event and the first. This was the first (and probably last). ECE I had ever completed. This is what the. Audax UK website has to say about. The regulations and process ...

Tim Tom's Time To Think Turino!: May 2015
http://challengemenace.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Tim Tom's Time To Think Turino! I dunno why anybody's doing this'. Saturday, 30 May 2015. The first week of Marathon training. Monday: Run 2 (10k). Monday: 'Run 2' was my first run of the week. Ouch, that hurt. In retrospect perhaps I should have rested after Sundays tri-session. Wednesday: Interval run (10k ). Today was also the day that my funky wet suit got delivered. How exciting! I just had to try it on there and then. Am not sure when I am going to use it though - Ragley Hall Lake just happens ...

Tim Tom's Time To Think Turino!: 2 Battles
http://challengemenace.blogspot.com/2015/04/2-battles.html
Tim Tom's Time To Think Turino! I dunno why anybody's doing this'. Sunday, 12 April 2015. What no real audax breakfast? This was a welcome stop. Not only did I eat well, I stripped off many layers and allowed my stuff to dry (or at least warm) on the radiators. Am quite the professional now. Chris and our drying layers. Hilliness profile of the 2 battles. After about a further 20k we reached the half way point and the next control. This control was ok but I felt ripped off paying £6 for a 'bowl' of ...

Tim Tom's Time To Think Turino! I dunno why anybody's doing this'. Saturday, 31 January 2015. After a delightful absence from work, spent with my beautiful 2 daughters and lovely wife, it was time to return. Back to the world of long hours, hard work, office politics and paid employment. At least I had a genuine excuse to get back on my bike! The return run was difficult and I felt I was just plodding along (though run times were similar) but hey, I ran and am pleased with that!
