10 weeks to go!!

So 10 weeks left until the big one - the Mighty Man Montauk 0.5 Iron man !! Training up until this point in the year has been pretty solid but a little fragmented. Overall I'm probably in pretty good shape but need ramp things up and be a little more structured over the next couple of months in preparation for the half at the end of September. Last night I set out on a long run looping out over the Brooklyn bridge and back over the Williamsburg bridge but I managed to get thoroughly lost on the Brooklyn side and ended up taking a very long, convoluted route home through the Orthodox Jewish quarter and then into some dodgy section of Bed-Stuy where I was encouraged to keep up my pace by some fairly aggressive heckling from the local home boys! I ended up putting in a half marathon by the time I got home!! You can check out the final route map here
