Trying something new

The challenge is to go outside one’s comfort zone, just a little further each year.

Swimming – trying to keep a toe in the water

Running – still run/walk – but that’s supposed to be interval training these days

And cycling on the road and on the turbo…..eek!!

Somehow swimming turned into triathlon, but there are other ‘multisport events to try too……..

Aquathlon – ok – a shortish swim (400m pool/ 750m or 1km open water) and a 5km run,

Duathlon – had a go at a sprint duathlon 5km run, 20km bike and 2.5km run – definitely a fish out of water, but I have to admit it was quite fun

Aquabike – still too far outside the comfort zone to be completed – not sure how anyone can race a bike so far.

But my main challenge this year has been to follow somebody else’s training plan. And the year is almost over.
