I was a little disappointed when I looked out of the window the week before Christmas to find thick ice on the ground. The great British weather had let me down. Not only was I due to make my debut at Ilkley Cycling Club but I was also intending on riding my new Starley road bike outdoors for the first time. Our December weather prevented me from doing both of these things so back on the turbo I get for yet another gruelling 2.5 hour session indoors.
I have ridden on the turbo every day this week. I've done a couple of swim session but no running - my focus has been on the bike. I find training on the turbo a mental battle as well as a physical one. All I have for company is my ipod and all I have to look at is my cycle computer but I'm convinced that these sessions must be making me stronger. The Ironman will be a mental challenge and to quote the founder of Ironman, "You can quit and people don't care but you will always know". So on I go, embracing the turbo as if it's my best friend and continue to push my limits to chase my Ironman goal.
