How old are you Chick ? I didn't start tri til I was 49 and did IM the following year. ,

Get on with it.

cake - that is why I think I should wait till 2014! I can only imagine how gutting it must have been. I think if that happened to me I would a) find it hard to have another go and b) might not get the support from home to have another go. I don't think OH understands my mentality or why I would want to do something like that at all.

Mind you - if anyone is looking for someone for a slow relay team I am game just don't ask me to do the cycling bit. I still haven't plucked up the courage to try to drink while moving - I have to stop. When I read about people eating every 15 minutes I don't think I would reach the cutoff if I stopped every 15 minutes to eat!

Mathschick, at this stage just under 12 months away ok nearly 11 months is more than enough time to prepare and train. I mean your not gonna have a training plan of 23 months are you? Most plans will kick in around Dec so from now till then is a bonus. Your doing a Marafun in November so will have good base of running, you swim fine already, just the bike to crack? It is very daunting that's why it's such a great challenge. My plan will be based around 16.59 finish and I'll work back from there. A DNF is hard to swallow for everyone but can happen to anyone, it's the journey!!

oh - when do you have to decide to commit? what does pre-register mean?

Evil Pixie - yep I am a maths teacher and now on holiday

is it bad that I don't go to work social things because I want to be able to get out of bed the next morning to do some training?

Evil Pixie - glad it is not just me that skips the socials. To be honest, I am fed up with spending time with my work colleagues - I do like them but I am a bit sick of the sight of them at the moment - and I want to get up and go out on my bike in the morning
