6 hours

That was my training volume this week. In retrospect, this is pretty insane. Although Bill Black would approve. And he should know. As I type, it's snowing again, which bodes ill for my swimming tomorrow (I'll have to cycle, most probably).

However, next week is my last hard week for a while - 6.5 hours, followed by 3.5, 0, 0, 4, 4, 4 and 4. So I should be able to deal with it, snow or no snow. No point having a training plan if I'm not going to follow it, after all.

In other news, Ilkley Tri won the 220 Magazine Readers' Poll award for Race of the Year (<500 competitors). Which is nice. Semi-relatedly, I checked when entry opened for the 2008 event. T'was May 1, however the race is two weeks earlier this year, which would suggest mid-April. There's a good chance that I'll be in foreign climes at that time, but knowing me, I'll still be checking...
