Majorca Half Ironman Training.....

My training buddy, Melinda and I are doing Majorca Half Ironman in May 2014. Melinda has inspired me to give it a go. She came back from Majorca this year on such a high that it inspired me to take the plunge and enter for 2014.

I have already completed a sprint and an olympic triathlon earlier this year so I am on my way to the half ironman distance. Scary stuff!! This will be my biggest challenge yet, so, over the winter period Melinda and I will train as much as we can together to help motivate each other.

We won't always be able to train together due to work and family commitments but it definately makes a difference having a training buddy to keep you motivated.
Roland Kemp has devised a training plan for Melinda and I am tagging along and going to try and follow it too.

My goal for next year is to cross the finish line in one piece and for Melinda she is looking to improve her time from 2013.
So this part of my blogg will be all about our highs and lows of our training and what crazy things we get up too.

So far we have ran for 2 hours in the pouring rain early on a Sunday morning!! Crazy chicks.... we even sorted our route so I was able to check on the chickens and let the bunnies out:-)

We did a core session in Berkhamsted followed by a run and we got some funny looks from people as we layed our mats out to do the core session along the canal.

By Christmas Melinda and I want to be able to do wide grip pull ups. Watch this space......
