Today I signed up for the Reading Triathlon which takes place on September 9th. I know that is currently 7 months away but this is huge for me as I have never done anything like this in my life.. The plan is to blog about my training over the next 7 months, not sure how this will pan out but I think it might be good.. We'll see!
So last night I did 12k on the static bike and then went out on a planned 4k run. I started running my old route which takes me around Brighton hill and then the adrenaline kicked in and I decided to do he old route which was 5.6k. considering I have only been back running for two weeks I was really impressed how easy I found the run. so when I got back I thought if I can do that cycle and then that run I should be able to do a triathlon. I googled the Reading one and read the details. 750m swim, 26k cycle and then a 5k run.
I slept on it and this morning I got to work and booked it. got home tonight and although it was a rest day I did 20 mins on the bike. Was easy, I must keep this constant fitness up but the plan is spread the running out. may sort out a proper training plan.. been eating very healthy this week, lost 2 1/2 pounds last week, want the same again this week. Weigh in is on Friday.
Next step is to get a bike, my friend Darran who is a triathlon pro is looking for me. Was reading the best thing to improve on is the bike ride so I'm eager to get out on the road. That will do for now, off swimming with Darran tomorrow...
