Training has been going well ish. Mostly sticking to the programme I am now into week 7. In fact in 4 weeks time I will have (theoretically) have completed my first triathlon. Gosh that is a thought!
Up until now it has been all in the gym due to the aforementioned weather. With teh sun out and dryign the ground I think the next few weeks will give me the opportunity to get out and experience the world flying past me as I dash along country lanes (or more likely huff and puff up the smallest hillock whilst old dears on their constitutionals race past me)
To celebrate the fact it is coming up quickly I did what any sane, normal, slightly plump (stop sniggering) man would do and buy a trisuit. If you dont know what this is, think of skin tight lycra, with a nappy between your legs for the bike and fancy graphics. I know .I am hoping they dont think it is an Orca beached and start chucking water over me before a group of hippies try to roll me into the sea. And no I cant take that image back!
Up until now I have been maing so with normal gym stuff, but on the day you start with the swim before on to the bike and then a run. If you wear normal clothes your special bits often will get a little erm .. .chaffed. So instead I have got the sporting version of a gimp suit. On the right is exactly what I dont look like!
My plan is to do this one and then do another 3 this year I think. The next ones will be the bigger versions rather than the baby version I am doing at the moment. In theory if I havent died, got bored or something I might aim to do an Olympic distance next year. It sounds so simple when you say it out loud ...
Outside of training stuff, I am currently setting up my own company. Started some work already and will be out flogging my amazing abilities in the general public in the next week or two.
Something that you may all be interested to know about is I am launching "Name that Flock"to help create identities for my new logos. And yes there will be prizes.. sheepy ones..
