Training Update

Well done to all those who finished the London Marathon. I must say, I was very glad I wasn't running in the heat this year. The death of a 22 year old was tragic and underlines the dangers of running a marathon - I believe he died from taking on too much water.

I've been gearing up for my first competitive triathlon taking place on 7 May. The main focus has been working out the transitions and what kit I need to have ready and when. Very confusing, but a chat with some more experienced club members has put my mind at rest. I'm really looking forward to it, should be good fun. I don't really have a time goal in mind, I'm simply looking to enjoy it and get some experience.

I bought yet another new bike last week - this time a full suspension mountain bike. Is a Specialized Epic Expert and it is fantastic. Its maiden outing was on the South Downs and it handled the terrain impeccably. I'm looking forward to a busy summer on it!
