My entry for the Ironman 70.3 on 23 January 2011 has been submitted and accepted so there is no turning back now. The training has been going well and I am loving the process and cant wait to do my first triathlon. I know I must be a bit touched never to have done a triathlon in my life and to go and enter the Half Ironman but the training bug has bitten and you need to set a goal otherwise nothing will ever happen and you wont achieve anything. I’ve actually also comitted to doing the full Ironman in April (although my entry isnt in yet it will be soon). Below is an awesome video of the Ironman South Africa in Port Elizabeth in 2009. If this is what is in store for me, I can’t wait.
Good Luck Brad – I am also in for a half and then the full. Remember fitness is gained from rest and you need a lot of this when training for ironman so don’t run when you can walk, don’t walk when you can sit and don’t sit when you can lie down.
