A quick flight down to Marseille to do some running and swimming along the Côte d'Azur; £70.
A nice hotel to relax by the pool; € many.
Finding out that running in 30 degree heat is going to be very, very painful; € %£$&*$€
I would normally drink a few sips of water very 25 to 30 minutes when running about in Scotland. I was drinking a good few gulps every 5 to 8 minutes in France. I ended up consuming 500ml every 30 minutes and that was with enforced rationing, as I simply couldn't carry enough with me, nor could I have guessed that I'd go through so much. I could easily have drunk at least double that amount. The hot air dries your throat and leaves you breathless almost immediately. My only wish now is that the Ironman France run is at least partly in shade. Or that it's pishing it down with rain the whole cycle and run, which will be very reminiscent of training at home.
Current weight is 13 stones 4 pounds (186 pounds / 84.4 kg).

It's gonna be hot, it's gonna be dry and it's gonna be long.
