A last run around the Puerto Aventuras marina

The weather has turned grey and windy this afternoon with the promise of a storm later so made the most of the cooler temperature with a run around the Puerto Aventuras marina. About 2.5 miles in 21minutes.

Another swim across the bay

It's hard to keep your fitness levels up when on holiday! Had another 35min swim across the bay and back today really trying to push it but I'm obviously dragging too many Nacho's and Modello's now ;o)

It's not all training!

Just to show that my life doesn't revolve around training (or at least trying to prove it to myself? ;-) Some photo's from the stunning Cenote' cavern dives we did at Chak Mool on the Yucatán Peninsular in Mexico whilst away. Overcame my claustrophobia to take a look at the amazing dry formed stalactites and stalagmites which are now in caves filled with gin clear freshwater. Glad I did it but I’m not sure I could muster the courage to do it again!

35 minute swim

Too hot for running at 32'c and it's too nice not to swim, but a little too rough to swim right across the bay at Puerto Aventuras so managed half way and back and then 400m in the pool :o)

Another reef swim

A swim across the bay and back again this morning in about 40 minutes.

Also just past the fundraising half way mark, £512.50... Fantastic!

An early morning run

An early morning run around the marina at Puerto Aventuras before the sun got too high and hot. 24 minutes for about a 3 mile circuit

A rather nice open water swim!

A 40 minute swim over coral reefs to the far side of the bay at Puerto Aventuras and back sure beats the heck out of Boundary Water Park even on a good day!

Summer evening bike ride

Went out with my good friend John Addy this evening (who'd already cycled 20miles this morning!) for a 21mile bike ride along the country lanes out to Astbury and back through Hassall, Winterley and Ettiley Heath. Averaged just over 14mph and covered the distance in 1hour and 34mins. The aero bars already feel a bit more stable and comfortable :o)

1500 mtrs swim @ Salford quays

... in just under 35mins which is a Hurstnal best :o)

New aero bars!

Gave the new 'aero bars' on the bike a run out this evening... They're gonna take some getting used to! Serious wobbles!

Cycled 8 miles to Uswim's open water swim session at Boundary Water park covering the distance in 34mins and averaging 14mph

Swam 1,600 metres in the lake in 37 mins

Cycled the 8 miles home in 34 mins again averaging 14mph

All good! :-)

Bike to run treadmill session

Absolute tipping down rain this evening scuppered thoughts of getting out on the bike so decided to grin and bare a treadmill session at the gym. Cycled '5 miles' on one of their bikes and then ran 2 miles on the treadmill. So boring that I couldn't manage more! :-)

Open water Swim

One mile open water swim at Boundary Water park this evening in just over 37 minutes. 

Hot evening run

Enjoying a sunny warm spell at the moment, 25'c this evening when I went out for a quick run. Along the Wheelock rail trail and back down the canal to Wheelock and home again. 4.25miles in 32mins and 20 secs which is a lot quicker than it felt. Fastest mile was done in 6mins 55secs which is increadible! :-)
