MY WEEKEND OF INSPIRATION

Last weekend..I went to watch the London Trilathlon..it was so good my colleague’ dad who is 54 did it!! We cheered him all the way through. I’m Inspired..I’m definitely doing it next year!!

The open water swin..in a part of River Thames is going to be the most daunting!! nerve wracking bit!! What is said by first timmers- "As the race begins there’s lots of choppiness in the water, like you are swimming through that scene in James Bond where piranhas are eating someone"-this is going to be my big challenge .I’m paranoid of open water swimming am happy in a pool .. my friend has suggested that I wear goggles with the swimming pool floor designed on them and will feel like I’m in a pool and not in the ThamesJ.How cool!!

The Michelob ULTRA London Triathlon - 4th / 5th August 2007

The 2006 Michelob ULTRA London Triathlon was the event's 10th anniversary and it has become the largest triathlon in the world. With 1000's of spectators lining the course, some of the world's finest triathletes racing in the elite race, and over £1million raised for charity, the event has become an incredible experience for all involved.

Would anyone want to join me for next year?

    Hey Sujika ... I made a slight mis-calculation while chatting with you! I do 5 miles in 60 mins so thats like 8.05K so I guess I can do a 5K run in about 30-35 mins ... sounds like a fair time! But can't believe it! I slow jog !!!!! not run! anyways! ... Next year ... hmmm ... we'll see ... All in God's time :-)
