Training here I come......maybe a sporadically...but here I come!
April 1, 2010.....is the start and the return to training for me after IM New Zealand (oh...btw...the race report is still coming)
Today is April 8 and I have now managed to get in the pool 2 twice, the bike once (and a number of attempts...unsuccessful) and an area which I have not been disappointed in since my return is the running. In fact, it has been an area where I have really enjoyed getting back into...but I think the reason for this is that at the moment I run for enjoyment of running...there is nothing to prove at the moment. It is so nice. In particular I have been doing a lot of trail runs and going to make it a big part of my training (even more then what it has been before).
Trail running is a great experience, get off the hard pavement and run through the nature we have been give to appreciate, to breath in the fresh air, instead of the fumes from the cars and listen to sweet sound of nothing! (maybe the occasional bird)...what else could you ask for....and not to forget the physical benefits from doing such runs.

A New Focus a New Look
It only seems I have just ended the last season but it is time to focus on.....WHAT NEXT??....and in my previous blog I detailed what that might involve.
It is about the 2010-2011 season now....even though the 2009-2010 season has still a number of races to go....Luke Harrop, Tour deTri and Byron...2 of which I am planning to be apart of....one at least at this stage as I have already entered the Tour.

Luke Harrop is a sprint distance triathlon....ah...yess....that's right.....sprint distance at IM pace....I hope not...they will be packing up the barriers before I finish. :-)
So...with all this the blog has a new look and a new name....what do you think? Looks great!!!Sunday, April 4, 2010
