My intentions this year (2009) are to take part in at least one event every month, see list below.  you'll see I failed in April, not a good start!

After each event, I'll try to put up my thoughts for you; follow the links on the left.  It's not great art, I'll never win the Booker, or anything else for that matter (like my races), but the whole purpose is to simply dump my initial thoughts (whenever I have them) about each event so that I have a reason not to take part again next time (you'll notice that I've now done Blenheim three times, and been to Stratford-upon-Avon three times as well, so that plan isn't working too well!).

• March 1 – Castle Combe (duo) - completed!

• April – nothing :(

• May 10 – Stratford-upon-Avon (tri) - 1:26.12 - PB!

• May 27 - Army Sprint Triathlon (tri) - Cotswold Water Park - 1:22:49 - PB!!

• June 6-7 – Blenheim (tri) - 1:47.26 -PB!

• June 21 - BHF London to Brighton Bike Ride; CHARITY EVENT, please make a donation.

• June 28 - Louth AC Run for Life - 5km - 27:32.

• July 12 - Caldicot (tri) - 1:26.15 - not bad!

• Aug 1 – London (tri); CHARITY EVENT, 1:40:57 - PB!

• Sept 6? – Cotswold (tri) - booked

• Oct 4  - Warwick (Stratford-upon-Avon) (tri)

• Nov 22 – Castle Combe (duo)

All triathlons are sprint distance (750m swim/20km bike/5km run) or thereabouts; targeted time of 90 minutes.

The duathlons are 2mile run/10 mile bike/2 mile run; targeted time of 65 minutes.

The bike ride is 'only' 54 miles....  Targeted time of 3 hours 30 minutes.

Please check back to see how I fare during the year.

P.S. I'm thinking about 2010 already; I'll be 50 in January and am toying with the idea of having a crack at my first marathon (no prizes for guessing which one).
