The Comeback
Well it’s been a long time overdue but the comeback has started. I am determined to return to the lofty heights of triathlon stardom, or at least back to where I was when I was in Vancouver. I have been in the official comeback one week now and it hasn’t been easy. The problems I had with my breathing during winter have not helped. Although I can get a ride or a run in without to many dramas, the swimming is killing me. I had hoped to jump back in the pool and proceed to just rip it up lap after lap, but that is clearly not how it works in practice. I guess that means I’ll just have to be a little more patient and hope that it comes back to me.
The medication seems to be making a difference and I am able to see some improvement in my running compared to football season and I have been able to get back on the bikes too which is good as that’s a lot of fun.
My main target for now is just to keep hitting each session and slowly build up to a race or two after Christmas. From there I’ll reassess my goals and see what happens, with the end goal a start at Ironman Western Australia in Busselton December 2008.
Enough for now…
