Lanzarote

Thank god it's Friday!

Work not brilliant at the moment - but then that is a whole other story and could be a blog all of it's own!!!!

Got home from work and finished the patio canopy just as Bella's friends started arriving - me taking ladders and tools into the garage door as they came out of the patio door.....Really!
Then I left Al sorting pizzas and party food as I went to the gym for half an hour easy spin on the bike followed by a session in the sauna and steam room. When I'd finished I ordered a couple of plates of salmon and noodles and Al met me at 9pm and we ate them before going around to our friends  for a coffee and a chat. We eventually got home about half an hour ago with the party still in full swing.

I'm now sat in bed typing this before going to sleep - so Friday nights blog has nearly turned into Saturday mornings!

Tomorrow is my favourite race - Lanzarote Ironman.

I have done this race three times, 1998, 2003 and 2008. If I could I would do it every year.
I love the laid back atmosphere, the organiser Kenneth Gasque and the feeling of finishing such a challenging race - the acknowledged Hardest Ironman in the world.

I will wish I was in Lanza all day tomorrow, but this year is obviously a different challenge. Also, next year I have decided on a year of rebuilding so no Ironman in 2011 either.

However - 2012 may be another matter!
