Having completed the Marathon des Sables in 2007 my
quest for a new challenge has brought me to the
world of triathlon. My aim is to complete an Ironman
in 2010. Why three years? This will represent a real
challenge as I can barely complete a length of front
crawl in the swimming pool, let alone a 2.4 mile
competitive open water swim with 1,000 or so other
people. As a consequence, I've given myself a year
to become a competent swimmer, a season of triathlon
to learn the trade and then a year to prepare for an
ironman.
Anyway, the purpose of this site is to document the
build-up once again from novice to the start line, and
hopefully to the successful completion of an event.
More to come....!
