OrangeCannon becomes a pirate!!!!!!!
So the Pirate Ship Of Fools has claimed another victim, having just romped around Ironman Germany. Next stop, the Outlaw, if my thighs stop hurting!!!.
I am now 40+, but I aim to be active for as long as possible, so an ironman every year till i am a lot older sounds a ludicrous thing to aspire to.
I have been dabbling with triathlon for the last couple of seasons. I find it gives a purpose to the training / exercise I was previously doing. I have been mountain biking / cycle commuting for the last 15 years, running regularly for the last 3, and swimming badly for the last 2.....
I bumped into the pirates via the runners world magazine / forum, and they gave me the confidence to dare enter an IM.
Bastards!
roll on IM Regensburg 2011!!

In otherwords stop doing what I enjoy, so no more lunch runs, still try to swim, and do 4 bricks of decreasing intensity over the 2 week period.
Week 1 - a couple of swims, 2 bricks both of which were good. The second involv... Windsor Tri My wifes B race of the season, so I entered as well......
Always thought this looked great on telly, less convinced in reality though, especially as a newbie friendly race.
Anyway, still had a cracking time, except for the nightclub opposite th... Chiltern 100 The Build continues.....My first ever sportive!
107 miles of consistent ups and downs over the chilterns, ie up and down dunstable downs, wendover, princes risborough and everything they could find in the middle.
