Well, better today, after a hard day back at work.
Focussed on smooth pedal technique and did some one legged pedalling exercises, good for the legs and technique, working on allround smooth pedal action. 1 hour and 10 minutes, including good warm up and cool down and pushed reasonably hard in the middle.
Ave h/r at 147 bpm, maybe 2-3 bpm up over what it should have been for the amount of work I was doing, but understandable after a slight setback, and body readjusting to workrate. But on the whole a positive session.
Very light gym session tomorrow night, will do some weights and strength work on upper body and strengthening my inner core, which will help for getting back in the pool. After the lay off though, I feel noticeably stronger and whole body is actually quite refreshed. Once the remnants of these sniffles disappear and I know where I am with getting my teeth sorted out then when into March should be able to really step it up.
So far so good.
Note to self - easy does it, NOT too much too soon. Plenty of time til June! 17 weeks til Ironman UK 70.3. Actually, does not sound a lot when put into weeks.

Sounds as though the 'slight setback' has in fact produced some positive training. The one legged pedalling sounds interesting. It's good to hear that you feel stronger - I suppose it is more noticeable after a complete lay off. Following the progress you have made since you started your blog site - once you are fully mended - you should have enough time to train up to Ironman UK 70.3 - hope all goes well.
a tacx imagic or fortius makes Training more interesting
