New log ..... how did I miss this.

Great to see a new log in the forum.

The Race will be no bother to you. I did it earlier this year, if I can help you with anything, just ask.

Love your duathlon nutrition strategy Anto! Hope you have a great Xmas

Neady83

Practicing your nutritional strategy for the Race Anto. Good plan. I did have a wee dram of whiskey in the box for after the kayak (luckily didn't need it) but I hadn't trained with it. You're one step ahead happy Christmas.

I believe that it's not called a "Neady" unless you fall off a cliff after you fall into the baltic cold water.

Must do better next time

I know it is not the ideal way to recce the course, but I check out the course maps and use google map satellite view with the little man and follow the roads I used it for Achill and Lilliput legend I knew I had hills to tackle and was expecting them to be hard and in turn they were easier than expected. I also used https://www.plotaroute.com/ so I could work out my expected finishing time taking average speed and hills into account.

It's not ideal, but better than heading out and not know what to expect might work for you.

I forgot to reply to this. The course is idiot proof, no fear of getting lost as there are little yellow flags all over the place and marshals in a few spots where the traffic is heavy.

If you get a chance when you drop the bike on the Friday of the race, no harm to drive the first bike section to get a feel for the ups and downs, the exposed areas and no harm to get a look at Lough Salt before you tackle it on the bike It's mighty fun.

I see you're going well on the kayak #didntdoaneady

Cracking brick session, nice confidence booster.

You'll be fair sick of the bike this time two weeks.

p.s. if there's any spare gear you need for the Race, I've loads and I'll be in Glendalough next weekend so can bring anything you need up with me. It's a pain in the ass to plan to have enough of everything in each of the boxes. I've a cag and all that jazz.
