Hello Dave/iron muffin, cheers for the welcome.
SA - cheers, I will keep my eye out for potential rides, bike is in need of a winter maintenance check.
Cake - cheers, I will check out the link.
Also, been considering(more like picking the moment to break the news to my OH!) getting a new bike but may wait a bit as employer does bike4work scheme so can save on a bit of tax and prob spend a bit more.
Didn't realise how getting into triathlons is like being a kid in a sweet shop for gear...

Hi Ironholgs,

I found this site while psyching myself up for my sprint tri next May, thought that would do me, then someone here recommended your book, read it, now aiming for a full ironman in 2014........you have a lot to answer for!!

Great read, cheers.

Hi Pete,

Only managing 2 mile runs at the moment, 3 times a week. Cycle once a week and increasing the distance every week and done 25 miles last Saturday. Swim 3 times a week. Pleased with everything apart from the running, not showing much improvement but will work on it. Not training since Saturday, chest infection, so probably back to the beginning on the running.

stick with the running, just start to increase mileage each week, I am no expert but has worked for me. This time last year I had only been running for 2 months and just building up to my first 10k race(having put on weight through drinking too much and not exercising at all,that and packing up smoking) fast forward 1 year and I have completed 3 half marathons this year(PB last sunday of 1:44) and 5 weeks ago completed a marathon in 4:07. However, swimming for me at the mo is almost nonexistent ad not been on the bike for a while - although about to purchase a turbo for the winter miles.

Cheers

Pete
