A 5.10am start. Ouch. I'm no stranger to an early start. What was foreign was the early start post a weekend of frivolity. I'm not sure that hosting a fancy dress house party was necessarily the best plan to the official start of my half-ironman sojourn. But it was too late and happily I survived and am on the couch in a post-magnum fog, justified by being two sessions down!
So it is a day one of my full attempt to complete a half-ironman, as a woman. I'm OK about the man part, still not so sure about the half part of the title. We will see...
This is a first, both the training and the blogging. It's an attempt to add some extra motivation and accountability. We will see.
My aim ultimately is to survive, I'll mark out some times closer to the event. Plenty of time, 111 days to be precise. Apart from finishing, the aim come November 17 is to be the fittest and strongest of my 33 years. This is my 'Jesus' year apparently, the year to make things happen, so here goes nothing...
Oh a quick run down of today, lovely slow run, circuit in the gym, full day of work and 30mins of swim efforts in the pool. Confirmed, I hate swim efforts! Time to work on it I guess.
