So it has been an age since my last blog, so long in fact that this is more a resurrection as opposed to an awakening! I could put the lack of blogging down to numerous things at the end of last season (having said that the last blog was only in May!) Since my last blog there has been a distinct lack of racing, albeit I did race in the Black Sheep tri at the end of July. However, lack of racing has not meant lack of training I have got myself a new coach, Toby Jameson www.driventotri.com The training has increased and I am actually enjoying pushing myself as well, though I think this means I may have been guilty of slacking in the past, no chance of that now and I have my first race on Sunday www.toughten.co.uk should be interesting to see how the training has affected race pace!
Not all hard work though I got married last September, I even managed to sneak a few early morning runs in while on honeymoon in New Zealand - glad to see that being a tri widow is not a legal ground for divorce!
Aims for this season
For some unknown reason I have decided to take on the Alpe d' Huez triathlon this year and have stupidly entered the long distance cat: 2.2km Swim 115km Bike and 21km Run at altitude, for the first time I have started something where there is a distinct risk that I wont complete it - NB I WILL COMPLETE IT though! trying to find a charity as well to raise funds for so someone can benefit from my pain - any thoughts.... If this wasnt enough pain I have also entered the "Worlds toughest half ironman" as a warm up, who in their right mind treats that kind of race as a warm up!
Right that is it for now - will blog after the race and let you know how it went
