May was supposed to be my introduction to Middle Distance with the Marshman and I was looking forward to it... wheels fell right off around feb/march time when I just couldn't seem to shake virus after virus...and then I gave up... it's hard to admit this but looking back it's what happened.
It ended recently with me realising how much I wanted to be out with everyone at the Vitruvian but me also realising that I wouldn't have made the swim cut off
So... that was then, now it's time for the good news...
The Marshman was defferred to next year (2012)... meaning I have a race entry in the bag for 2012 and it's middle distance; and this time it's even more personal. I'm fed up of giving up: it's going to be done and done for me.
I need to build time on my feet about now so my goals are all related to time: I want to concentrate on the bike (mainly as I wish to reduce my weight in a controlled and injury free way) so my main goal for the foreseeable futre is to get back to being able to cycle "comfortably" for an hour at 17-20mph. The goals I have in mind for the other disciplines are to be able to complete 5k run in 40min or less. On the swimming front I want to get back to being comfortable in the water.
