From couch to HIM in 10 months

OK so the title is a little misleading, I was a hiker but not a runner and only a recreational cyclist with my young son, when this journey began in January.

I committed at the start of the year to lose a little weight and  get a lot fitter as it is hard work chasing a 4 year old around.

As I am very goal focused, I set the goal of doing a duathlon (no love for the water so triathlons are out). I did my first sprint duathlon in May, at which time I got bitten by the bug. Next came the road bike to replace my hybrid and more importantly next came the crazy thought to do a HIM.........after all I had four months to train

Well I DID IT and below is my race report.
