So . . . I'm resuming my previous good habits of fitness - and inviting YOU to join me.
You can participate in any way and at any time, choosing from the usual triathlon disciplines of running, swimming and cycling.
Running: you might choose to run, jog, power walk or perhaps just do a very brisk walk round the park. Some athletes might choose to complete a marathon, one mile at a time, over 26+ consecutive days.
Swimming: you might choose to swim for a set time or distance, or perhaps go to water aerobics class for a set number of times. Sliding down the curly water slide several times is not an acceptable event – unless the stairs are very high up indeed.
Cycling: you might choose to cycle for a set time or distance. Or perhaps repeat a shorter journey several times. Athletes may participate using bicycles, tricycles, unicycles or wheelchairs. Unfortunately activities for users of skateboards, roller-skates, ice-skates, scooters and strollers/buggies/push-chairs cannot be accepted as cycling events.
My events - I’m doing an organised 5K run (stagger), an organised 9 mile bike ride (wobble) and something sporty in water as yet undetermined.
The idea behind this is that YOU have a go:
Try to take some exercise this summer
Try your best
And, if at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.
Here I am 12 months ago. Can you Adam and Eve that I actually smiled as I crossed the finish line? With time and some splendid sporting efforts, I will reach that level of fitness once again. I have the willpower. Join me in this quest, and a fabulous future of gorgeous fitness lies ahead for us!
