There are only 41 days before I am lining up for the start line of the New York marathon and I am really starting to get excited. This event is going to be huge for me & Denise; our first full marathon in a wheelchair and it is going to be in the most famous marathon in the world. Our excitement was definitely helped after watching
"The Road to the Finish".
After having a rather big day out on Wednesday my cross training on the rowing machine was waved on Thursday and Friday. Come Saturday and I decided the training push would go further than previous sessions. The day was cool with a brisk SW wind but reasonably sunny. Again I was lucky enough to have Denise escort me on this training session. She was well rugged and equipped with the latest post-quake fashion garment, the hi-viz vest!

I made pretty good progress travel out along my usual course with a tail wind helping progress. This wind became most noteable when we reach Winchmore School Road which is at the end of the out and back course. For this pushed we went the full length of this 6km road which meant the total session would be 40km. The hard work started at the turn around with the SW wind straight into my face. The 6km of hard work battling the head wind really made me fatigued making the remaining trip home hard work.
Distance: 40.1km
Time: 3hr 1min
Speed: 13.3km/hr
I now realistically only have 4 weekends of training remaining, I really need to push things along now!!
