Hi Jacqui,
I am in the same boat as you. If you fancy a virtual training buddy give me a shout.
Great stuff Jacqui. You might want to delete your email or you'll end up getting spam.
You can reach me on george2011 (at) talktalk (dot) net
I'm greedy and hoping to do an Ironman in 2014. Not absolutely sure which one yet though. You should be good for an IM then too
I'm starting from about the same level that you are currently on.
Well done!
Hi Jaqui,
I'm about the embark on a Couch to Tri program which sounds familar to yours and Ive also entered the Bath Novice Sprint Tri in September (or as I like to call it 170 days away!)
I coming at it from the angle that I've been running for a few months so hopefully the last leg should be fine, I've just bought a classic 1980's road bike (I figure it's got to be better than the commuter I have with attached child seat! (which I've not used in over a year)) which i need to get out around the streets of Devon and I swim like a brick; that can't swim.
I could use some 'virtual' support as well so feel free to contact me at my hotmail address which you can access with the prefix dbaylis (oh and it's a com)
Good luck.
Dave
Where are you located?
Sorry for not getting back sooner. Ye happy to try e-train but may need about of a kick sometimes lol. Having been out for awhile due to injury i'm also having to get my head in the right place. How do you suggest we progress as I haven't done e-train before. Cheers Deb
Hi Dory,
Well we can keep each other updated via this forum or share how things are going via IMs. I need to ensure this isn't my latest fad so could also do with some encouragement/ gentle pushing.
Swimming was fine - not worried about that. Did 20km on my fitness bike friday - again not much of a problem (the real thing might be a different proposition). Running, my Achilles heel. Did my first run today, nearly died. Signed myself up for a 10km in November as motivation.
