Ironman Training Update

I've not blogged for a while regarding our training for Copenhagen. Here is what I have done in the first two weeks of May. Feeling pretty good throughout, not particularly tired but I am particularly hungry & eating like a horse! Genevieve is mostly on the same sessions, sometimes on different days but is on recovery this week due to tendoniitis in the ankle of all places & also now an additional cold which I am fully expecting to get at some point soon.
