      Oi BP - I was going to do the great north swim in open water. My local swim club did it last year and said the training outside and in wetsuit was brutal.

      I think I might give it a miss this year

          A bit of a problem with the training - I came off the bike going round a corner at 25mph. I stopped using the right side of my body. Knees, elbow & shoulder all bad - but I have pulled a muscle in the chest. I am okay while I am moving - but I suspect I am going to be very stiff in the morning.

            Cadence. Find yours and keep to it, your bike has gears for a reason.

            Edit: and do try to stay on the wheels - this is the only part of the bike supposed to interface with the road...

                    Oddly enough the bike only did interface with the road via the wheels. I used myself to break the fall. And I lay there thinking "at least the bike is not damaged". And then I lay there thinking "Brill stop being a total cretin".

                    All the bits with bruises are fine. My my chest hurts when I move. At least breathing is okay.

                      Today I cycled the iron man distance(112.5 miles) - took 9 hours. For sustinance I ate 8 mars bars and had 2 bottles of lucozade sport - which was all I had until dinner tonight.

                      My legs are stiff. But worse my perineum is damned sore now.
