Subject: Booked a place in my first half ironman :)
Hi all, I have just posted in the 'introduce yourself' forum and so I thought I would head over here too

I have just entered into my first half ironman which takes place on 1st September near to where I live in Hinckley (UK). My aim is to then complete the Outlaw event in Nottingham next July by following the Dan Fink training plan in Ironfit.

Up until December last year I had a drink problem so this is my replacement for alcohol. If anyone is interested, I have started a blog to document my progress http://www.ironharris.wordpress.com- hopefully this will help keep me motivated.

I have 2 more tri's before the HIM, a sprint next month followed by an olympic distance in July in Birmingham.

Very much looking forward to getting help and advice and in time, giving a little something back in return

Mike

Deciding on an Ironman as my first venture into triathlon was greeted with incredulity and astonishment combined with a hint of, "well, you're full of yourself aren't you?" and, "a bit ambitious?"
