The training summary updates have gone missing the past two months so here is a recap of August and September 2008. August was obviously in the midst of ChesapeakeMan training and also included a 10-day trip back to Europe. September was split into the end of Ironman training and a taper for the actual race.
Here are the stats for August 2008.
Total Workouts - 51 including
19 cycle sessions
19 run sessions
13 swim sessions

All in all the training worked out well and enabled me to place 2nd at ChesapeakeMan in just over 10hours. It was a shame that the puncture probably kept me away from the sub-10 time but that for next year!
