Training calamities.
All of us have stories of training calamities or disasters.
My favourite disaster story comes from early 2006. I had just bought a new bike, having not ridden for 22 years. I’d got a dream, you see; to go from being a fat unfit couch potato to an Ironman in 16 months. Everyone scoffed – I couldn’t swim three strokes and was extremely unfit, but I felt I knew better.

Keeping a training diary
One of the things I find most difficult about training is the lack of linear progression. Even without overtraining it is in the nature of physical change that improvement happens faster some times and slower others.

Training again after a hiatus
I used to drive a ratty old car – a Vauxhall Chevette which was almost as old as I at the time.
