I've completed the first week of my Cairns Ironman 70.3 training. I generally keep in good shape but my training has been more relaxed recently. As a result, I'm really feeling the extra volume and intensity in my training. On Sunday, I completed a long, wet ride to Mt Nebo of over 100km and followed it up with a 30 minute run. I'll be looking to some more sessions like that to build the endurance I need for the race.
Another focus for this week has been the preparation for a change in my diabetes management. This week I'll be going in to hospital to switch over from four+ daily insulin injections, to an insulin pump which should provide more targeted and flexible delivery of insulin when my body needs it. It's going to be a steep learning curve though!
