    Start my 15k or so each way commuting soon. 150k + a week of commuting can be added to the challenge, right? :pac:

    I'll catch you yet Fran :(

    Now I'm not doing the second coached session I feel like I'm going backwards in the water. Struggled tonight so that could make it two weeks in a row of only one proper session :( Off work Thursday and Friday though so might get a decent session in on Thursday or Wednesday evening. Poor week or so of swimming means distance is a little lower than it should be.

    Hoped to do a 400m TT today but forgot the watch, probably for the best since it was act the eejit night in the pool.

    Hope your ok Mr Creosote.

    Can I join your cranky club too?
    Missed a week with illness, slowly ramped back up this week only to clean myself out of it on the bike yesterday. Nothing too bad, but will need at least a few days off.

    Seriously annoyed and very peeved off.

    All welcome in the cranky club!

    The worst are the own fault crashes (I've had a few)- at least I've got a focus for my crankiness, bloody u-turning drivers.
    Few stitches, big swollen knee and nice shoulder bruising for me. I'll be out of action for a couple of weeks I'd say. AND on a mountain bike when I get back cycling...the shame of it!

    Can I join too?. Was just delighted with myself with how my running was going, then got hit by a virus on Friday that left me needing a lie down after climbing the stairs. Going to try a swim tomorrow - wish me luck!

    Hilarious coming from miss number one herself!! :D

    But yeah seems to have crept up steadily last few weeks.
    Must be a race someday soon!

    I must double check it with my TP account actually just to be sure I didn't do a type o but think its right - only 48km avg per week so not exactly big.
    70.3 focus helps the quality sessions drag up the averages it seems.

    It's all yours shortly I'd say as I'm into recovery.
    Racing the Ashford Duathlon Champs next weekend. Plenty of running in that bad boy so hopefully I'm prepared.

    Thanks and good luck in London.
    Nice to get a marathon out of the way so early in the season!
    At least lots of the hard work is all done now.
    Enjoy it, hope the marathon goes to plan.

    Worst swim month since I started swimming properly...worst run month that wasn't bike crash related since March 2012...best bike month of the year so far

    I know theres one day left but thats 10 miles of running so it's still a crap run month. :)
