And onward we go!

We now have a healthy house so all normality has resumed.  I have finally managed my first run for a few weeks, been back in the pool and even started to look for a fancy new bike!

I have made some decisions with regard to the actual event though.  I have cancelled my place in the Henley Tri (see.. using the in word.. 'tri!) and now planning on applying for 2 more -yes 2 !!!!!
These are both at the same place - Culford School in Bury St Edmunds, and they are 8 weeks apart.  So much closer to home. One at the end of May and one at the end of July.  So I have a plan!

The first one will be - 'just get round'... ' just get to the end'.. I will probably bumble and wobble my way around but hopefully get to the end.  And then I have 8 weeks to improve, reflect and then hopefully do it better.  These ones are slightly shorter too.. 300m swim, 20k cycle and a 4k run.  Which is a little appealing to say the least!

And here is the bike I am looking at!  My bike I have is so heavy and upright, so I have to really invest in a new one if I am going to do this seriously. Although Matt has made it very clear that I cannot get to the end and then say "Never again!"  At £500.. that would be a complete waste of money and a good bike.  We have been and had a look, and the most I can remember from our conversation with the young man who was really trying to sell it to us was " It will hurt your backside for a few weeks!"  OUCH!!!!!

So I am reading all I can about how to help with this ailment...   will keep you posted!
