Howdy all!
Sorry for the lack of posts and updates. I've been sunning myself in Spain and will soon be updating with some delightful photos to make even Daniel "James Bond" Craig go green with envy and ladies everywhere weak at the knees (or is that weak in the stomach?). Tapering has gone well as has my just completed race prep and I will be jetting off to lovely Shropshire in a little under 3 hours to enjoy the wonders and luxury of the Oswestery Travel Lodge.

Whilst the Shropshire Tri is much smaller than last year, and quite a bit out of the way for someone driving from London to Sheffield, it holds some significance for me as it was here that I did my first Olympic distance Tri. Thus, this is my first and only real opportunity to see how far I've come on in 12 months.

I always wonder whether I should post my goals for all to see before a race but with this one its not really about the placing but the times. Last year it took me just shy of 2h12 to finish, not bad for a first pop but along way from decent. This year I want to break 2 hours taking around 4 minutes of each leg to do it.

Tune in in about 48 hours time and hopefully they'll be plenty of fun and revelry to keep you amused for just under a minute.
