Through Hell and High Water

I've been dabbling in triathlon training over the past few months with vague plans to do 'something' this summer. Having realised that there is nothing that helps training more than pure fear I have bitten the bullet and signed up to some events.

I haven't been training for the cycling because I am completely hopeless at cycling, and I am completely hopeless at cycling because I haven't been training. I really need to do something about that soon...

In the meantime - one down, four to go.

June:

• Dublin Mini-Marathon (10k run)

Done! With a PB of 53:19.

• Aquathon (750m Sea Swim \ 5k Run)

August:

• Dublin Triathlon (750M swim, 16k cycle, 5k run). Gulp.

• 2K sea swim (with this lot)

Sept:

• Hell and Back (Adventure race)

I did this one a few years ago and swore never again. And yet...
