HELL IS IN THE SHED - with a picture of the flames, Pippa strolling down the road and me looking WAY too serious (but check out the bars.....)

"log it" as we used to say.

another day another heat session done and done.

Our protocol;
go out to shed at noon and turn up radiator and space heater to full.
at 2:45pm begin preparing water bottles with Eload.
2:55pm get on the scale with 4 full water bottles in a plastic bag. 157lbs check.
3pm run on treadmill for 50mins in race suit (looking ridiculous). Within 50mins I usually walk for 5mins, "warm up" for 10mins, do 8 x:25 sec from 13mph-14mph, feel like shooting myself in the face and realize I still have another 40mins on the trainer.
Rain sweat on the trainer for remainder of 90mins at 100cadence 150watts.
Get off bike and lay in back yard with hose running and Pippa laughing at daddy for 10mins.
get back on scale with said plastic bag full of mostly empty water bottles. 150lbs check.
get ice vest on, go to ocean with Pippa and ice legs.
Do it again tomorrow.

OTHER then the heat training my training in general is going really really well.

Last week contained some great runs including some race pace laps of the "harder then Hamish" loop, a 90min very hilly run and a fast run off the bike. Swimming was on last week, I rode basically everyday and started the "hell in the shed" sessions (Adam Campbell joined me for the first session).

We had a solid solid weekend with some motorpacing on saturday (with heat run/ride in the afternoon).
An open water hammerfest sunday morning followed by a 2hr very solid ride - Colin is riding "crazyawesome" and a track workout at night of race pace 400's.

Monday was a recovery day, aside from "hell in the shed" in the afternoon.
This mornings swim was solid followed by....... you guessed it "hell in the shed".
tomorrow is scheduled as a hard pool swim, hill reps on the bike and an easy run.
thursday will be done as scheduled and of course "HintheS".

I'm getting excited, I can't believe today is 14days out.

Pippa stole my post workout "icy pop", we're not speaking tonight.

Jennie is SUPERMOM and continues to amaze.

My new Cervelo is "crazyawesome".

I iced with JAsper Blake, his son Fin and Adam tonight, they are starting a new cool kids club and taking applications starting next week.

There are a lot of questions in the comments section, I started to answer them and just ran out of time/energy (I was feeling light headed from being in hell).

I will say it was awesome hearing from my old mate Ben Dunn, what a legend!!!! and Ben I think I still own the hallway cricket high score, I rule, Simon 0/152 - Dunn brothers all out for 10. Eddie are you out there?
