Hi y’all,
@JoeX cool thread idea, I was pinged at the top, so here I am 
I am planning on signing up to Ironman 70.3 Gdynia when the registration opens in December. The race will be taking place on 11th August 2019, so plenty of time for training!
I recently got a wahoo kickr core and set my trusty Canyon Ultimate on it, then promptly signed up to trainerroad and loaded up the mid-volume half distance base program. Then I realised I have way too much time between now and the race, so I need to pad it somehow! After doing a week of the program and asking for help on the trainerroad forum I switched to mid-volume sweet spot base.
I then tried to fit some swims (my weakest leg) and runs (my strongest leg) around it. That worked the first two weeks, then less so as life gets in the way. I had to skip one week due to illness as well, so today I just finished a repeat of week 2 of the SSB. But so far so good, my motivation is still at a very good level. I got the trainer to up my cycling game so I don’t regret having to skip the runs and rides now and again when needed, focusing on the riding bits. I know I will have plenty of time to train swimming and running when I move to half distance base some time in February.
So, here’s my piece. Stay motivated lads and gals, I’ll check in here again some time later
