First off I'm sorry for not posting on here for ages.
My reason are simple, I've been busy and during that time I've been doing loads of other stuff, like working, paying the bills, SUPing, having a life out of triathlon to be honest. But now I'm back, don't get me wrong it's not like I walked away from the sport, I've still been training - swim, bike and running. However I've been doing it at a more relaxed pace, as result results have come in a funny way. In the local area I've never been out of the top three in the sprint races, I've PR in the two half marathons I've done (1.21) , I PR in the Dubai 10km in January (35mins) and I came 11th in the Abu Dhabi International Tri Short Course. Oh and throw in a training camp (where I picked some ITB issues) with the 2011 Ironman World Champion Craig 'Crowie' Alexander, you kinda see what I've been doing. :-)
But I'm heavier than I've ever been for triathlon so thats got to change in prep Roth in July. My swimming is srong, as Is my running but I feel I'm going backwards with my biking at the mo and I know what that means, simple hard yards on the bike in the next three month either on the home trainer, To and from work or on the TT rig at Longtoot, simple. I'm excited to do Roth again this summer the reason being I've got lots of friends doing from around the globe and after Kona I needed a target. One that was achievable, so after speaking to my coach (Jason Metters) we put it out there sub 9.45 or on a dream day sub 9.30. Add it up sub 60 swim, sub a5 hours on the bike and then a sub 3.30 run (I know you've got T1 and T2 in there too).
So there you have it after 5 or months of drifting I'm back on it and that'll will included posting my progress on here too and Twitter. I'm off to Hafeet Epic camp this weekend for a beasting, I'm looking forward to it, bring it on.
Stay safe all.
Ed
