One week after...
One week after the Ironman competition in Zurich/Switzerland, I am still struggeling to comprehend fully, what happened only a week ago. It feels good to have it finished. This inevitably cheers up, boosts confidence in future challenges and infuses great thankfulness how marvellous the human body and spirit is. I already registered for next year, probably with a new bike then.
Cheers, t-IM

First Ironman finished
Yesterday I did my first Ironman. I enjoyed the race 14:22:21 hours long. Thanks to all the supporters! You were great and without you I wouldn't had a chance.
Your onefreeradical!
No sports for the rest of the week! :-)

7 days to go...entering tapering
7 days to my first IM. Yesterday I had the last long training session: 3.8 k swim (1'35''). Everything went well. I felt good.
The water temperature is rising in the Zurich lake.
I guess we are not swimming with a neoprene (actual water temperature is 23.5°C with 1 week to go). Four months ago I bought the 70.3 and I am quite happy with it. I like it even better, since swimming is more "real" in the "shorty".
Training is somehow influenced right now with "moving the house" and "job change". Though I am able to find the right balance over and over again. My nutrition is going ok, though I could be thinner.
For the next week I will enjoy the circus and training becomes a matter of low priority. Have fun! onefreeracial
