Keeping up with the Jones's

Ok - So everyone else in the Shurdington Tri Club is blogging on here, and to be fair I am not keeping up with mine on tritalk - so lets give this a tri.

A quick introduction to me.....

I am a frustrated Triathlete(not sure what qualifies me to say the word Triathlete) but in the little spare time I have I am either training, thinking about training, or planning the next crazy challenge. I have been taking part in Triathlons for about 4 years now, and have steadily seen my times improve. I guess at some stage age will get the better of me and I will plateau, but for now I am enjoying the improvements and dreaming constantly of better things.

My strongest discipline is the bike, and therefore like most amateurs the one I seem to spend the most time doing, followed by running and then lastly my nemisis... the swim. Most of the year I maintain a general level of fitness and then normally up the training with 8 weeks to go to an event to include swimming and running. Perhaps not the best way to do it but it works for me, and helps to keep SOME of the beer belly at bay. I have major respect for those (especially the amateurs) who maintain high levels of training all year round. I just can't do it.

Recently a number of like minded friends have friends have set up a triathlon club and to be fair to the webmaster he has done a great job in creating a site which could become a great waste of time.

Anyway it's short and sweet for now, but will return with my training updates and general observations on life in due course. For the time being I am off to bed in order to try and get my backside to the pool before work tomorrow.
