Tomorrow is my 'debut' in the triathlon scene, looking forward to it.
It is only an enticer (250m swim, 10kms bike and 2.5km run) and I am interested to see how I will go.
My main interest in cycling and am currently in training for a 1,000km ride, doing about 500kms per month at the moment with the aim to step up to 350km per week over the next 5 months. My fitness is quite good.
I thought about the Tri's as a way to vary training and fitness then have now re-assesed my goals over say the next 12 mths. Once I have this 1,000km ride out of the way I was thinking about doing a Sprint (750m swim, 20km bike and 5km run) by the end of next summer.
I am 38 years old and have thought about completing a half Ironman by the time I am 40..
Are these realistic goals?
I know it depends on how much you put in training. I work full time and have a family so I cannot dedicate my whole life to it but I think it would be a goal to go for.
Cheers
Carl
