A New Year, new target

Right. Here we are at the end of 2010, weighing 77 kg, and with the West Wight Triathlon (2 hours, 9 minutes), and the Methlick Duathlon (1hr 32 minutes) under my belt.

So that's the baseline. I've got "before" photos stored with gut sucked in and gut relaxed from the front and side.

In 2011, the aim is to complete an Olympic distance triathlon (1500m swim, 40 km bike, 10km run - target times: 30 minutes, 90 minutes, 55 minutes plus 5 for transitions - total time 3 hours) as well as do the West Wight triathlon again in a better time, and various other 10k runs (Garioch, maybe Edinburgh) and some other du/triathlons (Westhill, Inverurie, Bennachie, Banchory, Huntly (sprint).

On this blog, I'll try to keep a cumulative total of distances and times, as well as race results so we can all see the changes and hopefully improvements through the year.

Another objective is to run 1,000 km through the year and get my swim time for 1,500m to less than 30 minutes by using Total Immersion techniques more.

And I'll be coming out for sponsorship as specific events emerge!
