Put me in, Coach!

Been a while, but I’m back, and my big news is that I’ve engaged a well regarded triathlon coach: Steve Bentley. (The picture is Coach Steve at Ironman Florida 2005.) My objective is pretty straightforward: to do the summer “build”; to see if my time management and dedication (or, put another way, my resistance to my long dead mother’s negative voice) are sufficient for an Ironman-directed programme; and, on September 11, 2006 (yes, the fifth anniversary of that terrible day), to decide whether to register for Ironman Wisconsin 2007.

In my eighth day, I have to say, so far, so good.
