Time, where does it go?

Lanza
Our holiday now a distant memory

Bizarre Pool Triangle
It's all about time. After setting myself the target of beating 30 minutes at the local weekly time trial I am gutted to announce a new PB of 00:30:00. Laugh? I nearly cried. I nearly threw up too but I'll spare you the details. I did say weekly but it takes a 2 week break then fails to fit with my training plan until post-Antwerp. Maybe something's just aren't meant to be.

Cleveland Steelman Tri
Welcome to Middle distance triathlon (1.9Km Swim, 90km Bike, 22Km run) the Steelman was to be my first outing at the distance and a journey into the unknown. How fast was too fast? How slow was too slow?
The swim isn't long enough to get "found out" but the bike and run are more than twice the length of standard/Olympic distance. the sun shone, the correct nutrition was gobbled and the speed was high. I told people I'd be happy with a sub-04:45 which really meant I'd like to go sub-04:30 on a good day. I was quite chuffed with my 04:23, good enough for 6th place. Perhaps I've found my niche.
This bodes very well for Antwerp Ironman 70.3

New Sponsor
Mr H is please to announce his new sponsor. New sponsorship involves public appearances at their offices Monday to Friday typically between the hours of 09:00 & 17:30. As with my previous sponsor their name will remain a mystery on this site though. I'd still like to thank Aviva for the new wetsuit, disc wheel, watch........ and fitted kitchen (pending) and the new tent which will get it's first real outing in Antwerp.
The bad news: it's a longer ride in to work (100Km round trip)
The good news: It's got a far better canteen. Edible food and everything

Ripon Tri
Having gone from Steelman to spectatorman it was good to see Mrs H set a new PB and beat the 3 hour barrier for an Olympic Distance tri. This also provided the opportunity to meet some of the NYP Crazy Gang. Destination Antwerp. Mrs H, I is proud of you.

Bring on berg-less Belgium
