I went for an easy 5km this morning, and it was a bit of a struggle. I still feel very unfit in comparison to the previous summer.

I've never really been much of an athlete. Ever since school, I was a bit of an IT geek. I did sports here and there, but I was always at the back of the pack gasping for air. I started mountain biking in 2006 and have since completed a few mtb marathons and a 90km road race or two... on the mtb. I got into multi-sport events at the end of '07 and have since completed a couple of Adventure Races and Sprint-Triathlons. My goal for 2008 was to keep a steady training programme going, without getting sick in winter. Well that didn't happen. I was down with the flue, TWICE!! So my ambitions of doing a half-ironman early in 2009 flew right out the window. I still have to do an Olympic distance triathlon, so I'll try to get one below my belt early in 2009. My favorite sports include: cycling, running, swimming, adventure racing, triathlons, rowing, golf and hiking.

Thanks for the encouragement.. Its already going better than 3 weeks ago, but it’s 3 weeks. Progress has been steady but slow. Anyway, its still fun, so I’m not giving up any time soon. Just wish it would go a bit faster.

Keep your sites on your Olympic Tri goal… don’t worry about the time it takes… remember you got sick over the winter, so it’ll take time to get back… but you’ll get there!
