Did some solid training this long weekend, started getting used to the heat now. Had a big session on Saturday with some serious cross winds, but my hydration went well and did a solid run of 14km in 1hr. Recovery has been awesome, putting the feet up and getting some good massages in. Nutrition at the moment is still brilliant. At the moment still having 2 scoops of a 3 to 1 ratio but next week i up it to 4 scoops a day to start getting the carbs in.
Now need to get to sleep have a big swim and run tomorrow!
See ya from Sunny SA.

My first few days in SA training.
I arrived on Saturday 13th of March in South Africa and was very pleased to see the sun again :)
I did'nt manage to do my long session on Saturday so i moved it to Sunday.
Went for a 4 hour Bike on Sunday which was very solid but i think i was quite stupid going out to hard, must of been the exitment!!! Did the 2 loop of the ironman course in 3:15hr before riding home. Otherwise after that ride i was meant to do a 1hr brick run but there was no way. I was finished cause i am just not used to the heat, its going to take about a week!
Monday 16th: still struggling on the bike, it was so windy which was'nt very cool but at least its not cold :) a nice 4o min run off after that.
Tuesday 17th: did a awesome 3km swim in the morning at Virgin Active, best pool i have ever swum in.... Then i did a long run 21km down at the beach front, again struggling :( Nutrition has been good and getting in alot of goodness and rest.
Wednesday 18th: Very nice 2hr bike this morning followed by a 40 min run off. Now just came back from a massage and just about to put my feet up.
Surf is not up today!!!
