I decided to quit Smoking and Took up Triathlon in 2005 as a reason to stay fit for 1 more football season.
Still playing most sunday's but for how long.....

Goals for 2011
Stay injury free
Run London Marathon
Go under 56 for a Midweek Leybourne Race

2 more PB's - 1st Oly under 2:30, does that make me a 220 ?

Yesterday did the Birling Beast in 2:29:42 (1st Oly under 2:30) and was 13th out of 60,
7:08 faster than last year and all bits quicker too. 10th on the swim in 25:40 (never done a 750 under 13!) was 3rd on the bike, and 23rd on run

well chuffed with that.

Few Days b4 did Hever Midweek in 1:21:45 was 3:54 faster than in May and all bits quicker too and 18th out of 161 and beat mate Steve by a minute or so, he beat me in May.

My biking going great and getting good at drafting (Chris Butler) on the swimming which getting me faster, need to do some serious running as that's what's letting me down.

Been PBing most of the season, must be doing something right - oh yeah training rather than reading/talking/thinking about it !!!

Next up 2 week holiday then back for Leybourne midweek sprint and the Ashford Sprint.
