Well at least that was the plan. Today was supposed to be the inaugural training run but the weather at my folks is so bad that the waves are crashing over the road and into the garden. I don't know whether to put on my running gear or my swimming gear!
Anyway, I've decided to do 5km in the morning and hopefully by then it'll be a bit less wet.
As for the Stirling Triathlon - Tash and I have already signed up and there is a bit of interest from Finnie, Tim and Brian. Paul Webber had also made some noises about doing it. Decent comment from Duncs though - "Triathlons are biased towards runners" and I'm a shit runner so I'm fucked.
Oh well. Bring on tomorrow.

UP 4 IT?
Hello everyone! Well it's about time that I got around to attempting this triathlon nonsense. I've been reading about this bloke, Dave Alexander, from Phoenix who is about 300lb and has done about 280 triathlons now - hence, if he can do it then so can I.
So what's the plan? Well there are 2 that I'm planning to sign up for the first in Stirling and the second in Peebles. Both of them are in June and that gives me and/or us 4 solid months to train. I hope that'll be enough. They are also both sprint distances ie, 750m swim, 20km cycle and 5km run and I would like to try for a time under 1 hour 30 mins although I think I'm having a laugh.
Anyway, if any of you are interested then please keep and eye on this and on the blog calander which will be running soon. There will also be a forum up and running where you can leave ideas and comments about any old rubbish. Finally, I'll have an email address for this site so you can stay in touch that way if you prefer.
One other thing... I'm going to be doing "Thirst for life" again this year which starts on the 6th Feb for 40 days of no boozing. Goto www.thirstforlife.org for more details.
