It's a long year. Chill.

Ah yeah I was just excited to be above 30 in the rankings for the first time

Wo ho. Finally of the mark for 2013 with a slow 8km run after a week of illness. This is the year I enter a new age group. Let the mid life crisis begin (perhaps the SBR challenge should have AG splits? )

Finally stopped lurking and added myself on, apologies in advance if I've messed anything up!

Can the TriLakes Triathlon club Duathlon series be added to the list please?

First race is on 27th January in Castlehackett and it seems like there is a bit of a high noon style showdown being smacktalked up at this race.

All I can say is bring your A game CW

Hows the weight loss going for you, you wouldn't want to be carrying any excess baggage up that mountain

Slow of the mark this year intended to head out with the club yesterday morning but had a late night at work so didn't make it. Easy hour on the turbo instead probably better to ease my self back in, been sick for most of December and long shifts at work meant I haven't been on the bike for 3 weeks. I still reckon I'm fitter than January last year I was still doing a good bit up till the end of November. Intend doing a lot more running this year. Had two good spells last year where I was up to running 6-7k 2-3 times a week when I got sick and had to stop. Could still manage easy spins on the bike but running was to hard on me. Once the bike racing started I didn't run as I was trying to keep my legs fresh for racing. Not going to worry as much about that this year just going to try and get used to running 30mins 3 times a week or so just to have certain amount of base running fitness. If I can string a few weeks together in the pool I might even pop my tri cherry. Will try and do a 6 week spell of lessons at some stage to improve my stroke. Have signed up for an A4 licence this year so the bike is the still the main goal. Hopefully improve enough to score some points in A4 and I should do a lot better in the Club league and place in races not just in TTs and the hill climb. Need to work on my sprint.

This is will be third year of training reasonably consistently but I need to start being more structured with my training and not just getting out and hitting the road when I can. Started out three years ago with the intention of doing triathlons joined the cycling club as an after thought and ended up focusing on the bike almost entirely when I realized how hard it can be to fit in the training for all 3. Long term goal is to try and give triathlon a proper go for a few seasons and see where it brings me. I work evening and weekends and mind my daughters during the day while my wife is at work. One girl is in school now and the other will be in play school next year so I will have a lot more time to train. For this year though I have to learn to love the turbo and use it during the day when I just have one child and just fit in the running when I can. My other main problem is I am a complete night owl so even when I am not working late I stay up all hours so my sleep and recovery do suffer. So earlier to bed and earlier to rise for this year. Not a regular poster but I may even start a log to try and keep me honest and make myself do more sessions.

I've been lurking on T/D/A for the last 6 months or so and thought the SBR would be a good way to keep track of myself this year. No huge plans, all mostly in the air at the minute!

Could I be pink please?
