With a little less than 2 months to go...im getting more excited each day. In all honesty my training has not been the best in the last month with work and being sick from dirty dam water in two events, but it wont hold me back at all...im entered, accommodation booked, support team arranged and now counting down the days. In the last month i have taken myself shopping for Shimano cycling shoes, Adidas road running shoes. Tomorrow im off to the Hillcrest Swim Shop to buy a new TYR (hopefully) swim suit to race in and then last item on the list for now is that full piece wetsuit...then ill be all kitted out and ready for race day.
Over the last two weekends i raced in Germiston 1200 (my time was slower than usual) but i can blame that on rock climbing the day before and late night after celebrating two birthdays :) The weekend that just passed i took part in my first Olympic distance Triathlon at the Joburg Triathlon also at Germiston lake...where i sadly have to say i got sick in both events from dirty water and still recovering. During my race i experienced trouble with my bike, could not get speed as my chain kept slipping and i didnt have a spare, and on my run i threw up a few times, but alas, i finished the race and mostly enjoyed every bit of it.
Upcoming races will test my fitness for the next few months. Im registered with Cycling SA, Triathlon SA and Athletics SA - racing under Bedfordview Country Club.
