After a half ironman on my 50th birthday and some injury problems I decided to have another bash at a 100 mile trail race. I completed Kettle Moraine 100 on June 2/3 2012 with the help of coach Olga Varlamova-King. My new goal is to go faster at distances less than 100 miles..... and to have fun doing it.

Training has begun
Mexico and Kentucky trips are done. Despite the fact that I still have a dodgy ankle I have started my training. Today I had a swimming lesson from Coach Andrew. I discoverd that I had been swimming a duff freestyle for 45 years. No wonder I have always preferred breaststroke. So now I have drills to do to make me more like a fish. But the bike will be worse. So the half ironman is actually going to be quite a challenge. I have set a time goal of around 7 hours - it sounds doable on paper but we'll see how the training goes.
