Back to training

In the pool with the Ironman / soon to be Ironman crowd.  They have less than 2 weeks to go before Ironman Switzerland and are tapering so the swim wasn't too tough, but tough enough!  It was good to be back in the pool even though I don't have a swimming event till May next year but I have a lot of technical improvements to make over the summer.
I also just learned that where I train will be closing in October / November in order for preparations to start for the Commonwealth games so we'll need to find a new pool which can cater for our numbers and that won't be easy.  The weather forecast is good for the next few days so I'm going to start more regular bike training.  I have just found out about a "vertical mile" section of road which will be about 7 miles away from my house so that will become my regular route in preparation for the Bealach Mor in September.
