On the upside though the running seems to be going well at
the moment. I’m never going to break
work records, especially when it comes to speed but I’m slowly increasing the
distances and I’m beginning to feel more comfortable on longer runs. I’m hoping that the training session with the
tri club on a Monday night will help with the pace but I’ve not got any
particular time in mind for the half marathon in March, I’ll just be happy to
finish it! The first event I need to
worry about my time is the half ironman in June so I’ve got time to work on
that. Speaking of half ironmans, the
eagle eyed amongst you might have noticed the removal of the Ireland 70.3 from
my wish list over on the right. Unfortunately
it has been cancelled for 2013 with the hope of it happening again in
2014. I’m really disappointed about his
because I’ve always wanted to go to Ireland and of all the events this year,
that was the one I was looking forward to the most. I guess I’ll just have to wait until next
year. For this year though, I still feel
that I want to do 2 half ironmans so am looking into alternatives and I’ll let
you know how things are going with that.
Finally, I wanted to let you know about an opportunity that
presented itself to me just before Christmas.
I have been asked to take part in a 3 day, 300 mile bike ride around
Mallorca in October. This wouldn’t be
connected to what I am doing in relation to this blog in that it would be to
raise money for different charities to the St David’s Foundation but for me it
was an opportunity that was too good to pass up on. Everything is in the planning phase with it
at the moment but I’m very excited about it and will let you know more as soon
as the details are confirmed.
Hopefully the snow will stay away now so I can have a good
second attempt at a full week of training!
