On Sunday 7th, Adam went out to trial the descent of the bike course. There are plenty of hairpins and spectacular views including rocky archways.

Yesterday (Thursday 11th) Adam registered for his IRONMAN. We both got matching tattoos, saw the race favourites and avoided purchasing any over-priced merchandise. #404

All the best for the race Adam
Our little 60km cycle in the mountains in Asturias here in N Spain today seem pretty inconsequential by comparison to what you’re going to be put through
Nice tattoos! 😀

This afternoon, Adam set up his Transition stage with thousands of other competitors. It’s all getting exciting and very real now!

2 days later and Adam is still hobbling around and should hopefully recover in a week or two (I’ll keep my fingers crossed for the first option!).
Adam started on the front line of the swim at 7:15, just after sunrise. It was a brutal start and after 300m, his goggles were punched off due to the competitive nature, but after that, Adam got into a good rhythm and was out of the water in 1:02. We were scattered along the beach by the swim exist and transition to watch Adam start the next stage.
Onto the bike, and the course was very tough, climbing upto 1200m, then descended along some spectacular but very technical roads back into Nice. By this point, after 5:34 of cycling, Adam was feeling fairly exhausted and sceptical of being able to run a marathon.
However, he persevered and battled the heat for the remaining 26.2 miles of the race, up and down the sea front grabbing ice, cola and gels at every opportunity. With a 4 lap run, we were there to see him come past every time, looking more exhausted each time. The run took 3:17 which gave Adam an overall time of 10:03:34 and an overall position of 237th and 45th in his age category.
Thanks to all the amazing support and atmosphere, Adam held off the cramp and ran strong all the way to the finish line.
As soon as the finish line was crossed, Adam’s legs and body have been in constant pain ever since and still haven’t improved much.
