1st blog post of the new year!
to start off, maybe I should review 2008:
- an eye opener into the world of triathlon when i meet my then boss Justeen, an IronMan! We get on like a house on fire, eventually!
- my first ever triathlon at the Cotswold ladies tri, and so far my only sunny one! No wetsuit and on my mtb.
- I convert Paul into a triathlete too by persuading him to train with me. We move onto the 'improvers' training plan from Runners World.
- We go shopping at TriUK and spend a fortune on tri gear, including bikes for both of us
- We get onto the Cotswold tri at the last minute by virtue of living locally. Despite forgetting the bike helmets and having to dash home, Paul wins!
- A new tri club starts up at our gym, we go along from the 2nd week of it starting, 4 evenings a week. We enjoy training as a group!
- We do the Stratford Tri. It pours with rain and is freezing. I finish soaked and VERY muddy but happy to have finished and not fallen off.
- Our coach Jason goes away for a week and we struggle to maintain motivation. I hope he doesn't leave.
- We do the Chilly duathlon which is cold, wet and knackering. 2 5km runs is too much.
- over Christmas we don't do much except a couple of runs and a ride. Getting back into swimming is harder work than i thought.
