Started today with a 1.5k swim. I only got kicked once by the blessed breast stoke bunch. Really think anybody who has legs longer that 1 meter shouldn't be allowed to do breast stroke in Lane Swimming.

Next part of the day was to do a cycle ride but guess what got to 6 1/2 miles and I got another puncture. So it's off to the bike shop again tomorrow.

Had a gorgeous afternoon with my Mum, Sister and Family walking around the New Forest. It was a beautiful day. Luckily Nephew-in-Law, Paul has a big car and we managed to get my disgraced bike back home

2009 and a quarter

It's already a quarter through the year and I haven't blogged yet. This year has already had a lot of ups and downs but on the up now.

Was knocked off target a bit through losing focus over the last 4 months. Instead of going through all the ins and outs let's start the New Year now.

Last week I cycled from Winchester to Bournemouth for Comic Relief. I love going on long distance rides but I'm never quite prepared for things going wrong.

My route took me via Romsey, Ower, Copythorne, Lyndhurst, Brockenhurst, New Milton, Christchurch and Bournemouth.

At Brockenhurst I stopped off to have a chat on the Charlie Crocker Show on Radio Solent. Unfortunately the next time I spoke to her was in Christchurch with a flat tyre. I am all out for equal rights etc.... but when it comes to mending tyres that's boys work. Charlie put out a plea on the radio for any young good looking lads that might be carrying a puncture repair kit with them to come to my aid....but alas no one turned up so I walked the rest of the way. And actually it was a great relief to get off the saddle for a while ! Great day loved it

Now it would seem that my life should have the Rocky Theme Tune, 'Eye of the Tiger' playing in the background as I start a big push to get fitter and move on. I need to regain territory lost and go even further. It's the best thing to be fit and feel confident. Hiding and comfort eating is horrible. So it's get up and go time.

Still being trained by the ever patient Will. Who, incidentally is training for Ironman, Austria read all about it here and sponsor him if you can.
