My diary of going from absolute zero fitness to half ironman. The trials and tribulations of my training up to my first race in 2009 and then post race my continuing battle to remain fit.
If you find you're always thinking about getting fit but never quite starting and you could be inspired by seeing that anyone can do it . Then I think you'll find that inspiration here.

Quick Dip
1100M swim in a rather pathetic 25:50. First 300M were very windy but after that I got my oxygen deficit back I was going along fine. Nice big 50M pool and facilities but a little busy. Some bugger nicked my quid out the locker as well.
There was a guy in my lane, just lying on his back and swimming with wide hand motions and kicking. I could keep up with him but I'd have needed to swim hard to pass him. I was swimming freestyle....it was more than a little disturbing. I'm busting a gut and he's taking it easy.
