Harrison and I have smashed out an iron man this week! Approaching each discipline separately rather than together we decided to start on the bike, cycling our furthest distance we rode the official loop of the Challenge Henley course. Tackling the long taxing hills three times put a massive strain on our body. We completed the course in 6 hours 36 minutes, happy with this we decided to have a day to recover and put our furthest run in, wanting to become familiar with the Challenge Henley run course we set out to run three out of the four laps aiming to complete 19 miles. However we added a little extra to each loop to complete the gruelling 26.2 miles in 3 hours 54 minutes. Being fulfilled with our achievements on the run and the cycle we could not justify cutting our swim short so the following day we swam the 3.8km. This week has been all about putting in the distances, this has had both physical and mental gains. On completion of this I have decided to further my research on preparing myself mentally and methods to increase mental strength.
