February Made me shiver

I seriously Cant wait for the spring. Feb was cold cold cold....so cold in fact that my biking suffered and i did nowhere near as much as i wanted to....still at least my running is improving. so the Feb stats (as if you're interested)
i swam 3.4 miles...mostly drills but this did include a 45 min 1 mile session which is the first time i've done that distance in that time.
I also Biked 37 miles....this is nowhere near enough even for base training but i'm hating the turbo and have given up on it...so i'm just getting out when i can and will step that up massively this month.
As far as running is concerned...well a bit of success here. total miles is 54...which includes my first half marathon of the year. Last weekend Cat (my mrs) and i ran the Blackpool half marathon on a very brisk and snowy Sunday morning. it was a good event and i managed to come in at 2.27 (cat did 2.04) which is my best time for this distance beating my previous time by 14 minutes, Running isn't my strong suit so i'm well pleased with that progress and hope to continue it...not necessarily quicker but it certainly is getting a little easier as i put more time on my feet.

In other news, i've succumbed to the lure of carbon....yes i've sold my beloved vitus road bike for a lovely flashy all carbon Ribble Nero RC bike. Its an amazing piece of kit and will defiantly cost me a lot in WAT (Wife added Tax) but i think its worth the price and i can't wait to get my hands on it this weekend (i hope). i'll do an update on the ride once i've spent some time in the saddle.

I've also decided to do the cowman sprint distance tri on 4th July. I'm doing this as its the main event for team laws...where Ben and his son Ewan will do a full middle distance triathlon together. Visit www.teamlaws.co.uk to find out just what a fantastic achievement this will be...oh and please support and donate.

On the final note of charity, i think i am going to do some fund raising through the event, selfishly i'm i am having trouble finding time between work and training to even think about it....i sort of just want to concentrate on myself and getting to the end but i'm gonna try.
If i do then my chosen charity will be Teamlaws...as not only do i have a BCTTT interest with ben and ewan being in the club but its also one of the best causes and stories i've heard since i got into Triathlon.

again, Please check out www.teamlaws.co.uk and show your support...until next time thanks for reading.
