With all the channels frozen rock solid it was time to put on my skates and go for it. After 15 years I skated around the city center of Groningen. Something that doesn’t happen too often.

Most of the lakes near Groningen have frozen shut. Which means you can go and skate on them. And since I regretted not doing so last year it was time to give it a try. Some warm clothing, a Heidi Liebt hat, skates and a big smile made me go!

Superman

Groningen - In the mean time the first month of 2012 is already behind us and therefore it is time to get back to training. One of the core issues in doing so are the core stability training sets. Nothing wrong with that, you might think, but I think differently about that after putting in this first set of the season.

This morning I got up early. Feeling great. Even before the alarm went. All to put in the first strength training of this year. Slowly I walked to the kitchen… Thinking of which sets I would do. Hamstrings first? Or perhaps some back exercise? Turned on the heating. Made me some coffee and I was ready to go! Excited to get this workout in, ‘Superman here I am!’

Ironman Wales 2011 - It is official

Groningen - I must admit that I am not to great with appointments. And not to great is perhaps an understatement! Perhaps it would be best for me to get a calender to keep my calender’s appointments in… Just to make sure all my appointments are met. Double check! But that might not even be enough… So perhaps a calender, to keeps my calender’s calender’s appoints would be the solution for me. Just triple checking everything. Of course this is not something that came like ‘thunder in a clear blue sky’ as we say in the Netherlands… What happened?

Ironman Wales 2011 - Rainetic

Groningen -  Wales is coming closer and closer. And that means tapering. And I have been looking forward to that. Not only because training was hard, but also because of Mother Nature. Unfortunately I am not blessed with super natural powers, or not as far as I know. Perhaps I have some powers, but not the ones I would like to have…

Ironman Wales 2011 - Gathering courage

Groningen - Sometimes there are sets on the plan that just make me scared… Sets like last Friday. Two sets of 120 minutes on race pace, and in between 10 minutes to recover and get a refill. I must admit that 2*120 minutes comes down to 4 hours, which is not even the total of what I would do on race day. Nonetheless, it got me scared on both Wednesday and Thursday. But I made it and here is the story.

Ironman Wales 2011 - Change of plan

Ronse (Belgium) - There are days, and there are days, and there are two of these days in a row… Days on which everything turns into a challenge. Challenges you don’t want to have on that day, or actually not at all. And two of those days in a row is just too much to handle. I am broken. My legs hurt, my head feels like it is going to explode, my forehead feels stuffed with something that is common in winter, and las but least there is a little mental setback.

A lot can happen in two days as I found out. It all looked promising! Two days in Belgium to get some hills in on both the bike and run. An early morning swim was planned and at 10:00 I was in the car heading to Ronse. Easy to find! First exit after Gent and follow the signs… Google maps told me it was roughly a 4 hour ride and without traffice and my phone showing me the way that was a piece of cookie?! Wrong!
