From fat forty to Tri girl fifty?

So excited that I have secured a place in next year's Blenheim Park Triathlon. Whilst it is not until June, I now have a clear goal on top of my 3 baby local Tri's in April and May next year:)

I am on wk 6, so the plan is to get some Park runs in over Winter and then maybe join a club early next year to focus on improving the speed.

Already having swim coaching which is going well, can't believe how different I feel since July 1st when this journey started!

Thanks Flump.... Will be a steady slow burn on this I feel, but at least I can reduce the risk of injury that way :)

Scary stuff LadyP, just going to hide behind the Couch from whence I emerged a couple of months ago! Very best of luck with the training. What a gal :)
