Sometime during September 2009, Steve Haywood will be competing solo in the
Enduroman Deca Iron UK. A 24 mile swim, followed by 1120 mile bike ride
along the rugged coastal roads from Bodmin to Fowey in Cornwall, then
a 262 mile run along the extremely demanding and undulating South West
Coast path. Follow Steve's training blog along his journey to complete
the 'Toughest Deca on the Planet!'
It was good to get back into full time training last week.  3 bikes and 3 swims, and I am now 13 days
into my 100 runs in 100 days target.  It was great to finally blow the cobwebs of Fousto (winter bike).
With the weather improving this week, I even managed an evening ride and incorporated a lap of the
Enduroman Double Iron course.  I even managed to take a photo on the move!





One of my swim sessions was a specific session chosen to replicate the Deca swim format: Half mile
rep in 14mins, 2mins rest, half mile rep in 14 mins, 2 mins rest... bla bla bla. Very boring, but it is
good mental training for the Deca. I am hoping to complete the swim in under 15 hours which gives
me a few extra hours to eat, drink and of course - slow down!

Commuting to work is a real time saver. It's 20 miles door to door, so I can get 40 miles in minimum
every day and still be home by 4.30.
