6 Sleeps to go

***************************Six*********************
Only 6 more sleeps until the Rotorua Half Ironman. It's quite exciting this year, there's a group of bloggers who have entered, and comparing notes on training, and offering advice (most of it tongue in cheek). The only real worry is that Taniwha in the Blue Lake.



I have done a solid 6 weeks training block. Before that I was busy on the farm, and couldn't put the hours on the bike in. I know I can finish the event, but I'm a little worried about making the final cutoff time.

I'm pleased to have the support of my fellow bloggers, as I'll be there by myself. Brian's family have organised his mum's birthday party on the Sunday - was originally planned for the Saturday. I'm a little bit hacked off about it, as I've had the Half Ironman pencilled in for many months!

I'm pleased to say I've lost some weight. I've been trying really hard, and it's paying off. I have enlisted a coach for this, and for setting up a training programme for the Half Ironman and Adventure races I have.

I have a crazy idea of doing a multisport race called the Lake to Lighthouse. It's really crazy, because it will be HARD.

I've never seen the Taniwha looking so evil :) Really looking forward to the race. Be good to meet up for a swim on Friday.
