final big run

Market Bosworth and the Dragon Ride gave me a psychological boost for the swim and cycle legs. Tonight I needed to do the same for the run.

To make sure I covered the miles I opted to take the long route back from work. It was a lovely sunny evening and the first 20k flew by. Luckily I had a lot on my mind after work to keep my distracted. The final 10k were a double back on the Greenway. As ever it turned into a battle of wits between myself and the path ahead. I won and managed the 30k in a respectable time of 2:44. At that pace I might just be able to to the marathon leg of the Ironman in under 4 hours.

About this blog

Welcome to the personal blog of Robert A J Ford, a professional interaction designer and developer based in the UK.

I started this blog in 2007 to record my cycle training leading up to the Etape. I've never been one for diaries but this format works well with my job and lifestyle so I expanded it to record details of other training and events.

As the blog grew it became a space where friends and family followed my activities. Their feedback has inspired me to keep writing. I hope you find something of interest and please feel free to leave comments.
