Day 1.

Well My wife has been blogging for a while and Im about to enter into training for Ironman so I thought I would start a blog so I can see how I get on.

So whats the big deal? Well Im now a regular experienced triathlete I have done several Sprints and 1 olympic and have never got my weight below 250 pounds. This time the mission is fitness and get off the blood pressure pills! Which should help with the Rheumitoid Arthritis too.

So I was toying with the idea of an Ironman this year and try for Kona next year. The 3 year plan didnt pan out due to external factors such as broken wrist, Shin Heomatoma(sp?) and other minor things that stopped me running and kept me on the chips.

So Day1:
I cycled 11 miles yesterday and it was tough. Back to the start again for what seems the 15th millionth time. Its a mind game. Today I ran 1 mile. Heart rate through the roof! This is not what I want to hear from my body.

Ill start next week with statistics so I can see how Im doing. I plan to use this as a kind of diary. We will see how it goes/
