Transitions

If you’re new here, you may want to sub­scribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

So, I’ve kind of breezed through my first month of this trans­for­ma­tion with­out expend­ing an exces­sive amount of effort. There have been a cou­ple of road­blocks (a cat get­ting sick and hav­ing to be euthanased), a cou­ple of moti­va­tion humps, and a lit­tle bit of ten­ta­tive exper­i­men­ta­tion to make sure that I don’t pick up an injury by div­ing in too hard (I reckon I have that figured).

I’m also fit­ter and down sev­eral kilos. But it’s not enough and I’m not really push­ing myself.

So, you know what, screw it! Time to ramp up and get some crystal-​​clear focus.

I’ve decided to ramp up my train­ing to get me to my ¹⁄₂ Iron­man goal as soon as I can. I have a pro­gram. I’m going to do it.

The 2009 Can­berra Half may be a touch too soon, as it’s just 16 weeks away. But there are races in the early part of 2010 that I reckon I can make — either Gee­long or Port Mac­quarie. Not to per­form well in. I’ll never be any­where but towards the back of the pack (that’s a bio­me­chan­i­cal real­ity). But just to finish.

Are you with me?
