So the past 2 years I started my blog off with a big target. The first one in NYE2020 I said I was going to lose weight and do an Ironman. The second seeing in 2021 I was training for an Ironman 70.3 in May. Neither of these happened for various reasons.
But that said I am a fairy step away from these goals now. I am no longer focusing on my weight, but watching how I feel. At the min I am overweight- but trusting that the training I am doing will sort this issue out. The past few weeks the training, it is fair to say is on wind-down. I had a chesty cough at beginning of December and Christmas to contend with.
I’ve spent Christmas thinking a lot, I have decided to focus on what is really important. I have come to realise that the key word is Balance and not Transformation. So what am I going to do, 1) I am going to spend time with family 2) I am going to finally finish my dissertation for my MSc 3) training – I’m going to really focus on training, not weight.
There are some practicalities, yes, I need to get back into my wetsuit. This is a little weight I need to shift for May. Which is when the Para-Triathlon series starts again.
Then come September I will finally get to do Ironman Venice 70.3. This has been cancelled thus far and I’m thinking positive that I can do it. My swimming is coming on leaps and bounds. I can now comfortably swim 750m in a wetsuit.
Have a great 2022 folk and thanks so much for everyone’s support x
