It's been a while...

Welcome back!

I took the order to take a month away from triathlon fairly seriously and as such decided to leave the blogging alone. It's been a time of change for me having moved to London and begun a new job. I'm now a proper age grouper again and am glad to say that having the routine of the day imposed upon means the structure of my training has already improved, 6am jut doesn't seem that early.

My assault on 2011 began last week and the ultimate goal is Challenge Henley in Septemer, on the way I'll be hitting a few middle distances, attending some exotic training camps and will make a welcome return to Olympic triathlon which is a distance I haven't touched in nearly three years; hopefully my 2:00.58 PB will be broken...

As always things start with a massive swim focus. My first few Masters sessions have made it painfully clear how weak my swimming is, I'm the slowest out of about 40 people and in lane six of six. If I can make it to lane four I reckon I will be in the front group of most domestic triathlons, lane one is made of 55 second 100 free swimmers and some age group domestic champs so that will remain a distant dream.

I think I'm as rusty at blogging as I am at training as re-reading this it's one of drier posts. I promise to improve and maybe take a picture or two.
