Coming soon to these pages will be my training diary, chronicling my (stupid) attempt to achieve what admittedly many others have done before, which is to complete a long distance traithlon.

My triathlon of choice is Challenge Barcelona, which is to run for the first time this year (no, I won't be the first winner of the event!).

What does a long distance triathlon involve? Well, we will begin at around 6am with a nice dip in the Mediterranean. After 2.4 miles (3.8Km), we de-wetsuit and get on our bikes for a trek up and down the coast road. Twice. That's 112 miles of bum-torture, following while I'll be waddling 26.2 miles. Simple.

Anyway, as I say, these pages will see my training program and (hopefully) progress towards my end goal in October.
