Today was the first day of my Ironman training plan. Nothing major to start, just trying to build up some fitness and endurance and get used to training six days a week.
Oddly, while I always struggle to sleep before an event, I had a similarly restless experience last night even waking up before my 6:15 alarm. Kit was all out and ready to go and I arrived at the pool with a set of 200, 400, 200 ahead of me, little did I realise my local pool, which I’ve never been to before was only 20m. Not ideal when you’re rubbish at turns and trying to swim 3.8K so I might not use that one all the time.
However it’s nice to think that the journey has now started even if the destination is still a long way away.
