Subject: The Quarter Hi all,
I am Epper and I have planned to do the 1/4 Triathlon in 4 months from now. It began as a joke, but now I'm really going to participate. It will be a hard journey, but I'm determined to make it a nice race.
I have never done a Triathlon. My only history is in the swimming part. I played waterpolo for 10 years, but I stopped 1,5 years ago. But 1 km of swimming wasn't any effort for me then, so hope to pick this up soon.
Never ran more than 5km in my life, and my last 5km will be 12 years ago (I am 23 now ). So that part will be interesting. As a dutch guy, I've been raised with a bike, but unfortunately never practiced it as a sport.
It's going to be an interesting journey, because I'm in a very bad shape, but I am starting with good spirit.
I will post my progress, training and other stories how it goed here!
First update: Oh, forgot to tell, I am quite the smoker, so I'm reducing my sigarettes to 3 a day the couple of weeks. I will stop from tomorrow/this weekend.
My official first training will start Sunday!
Cheers!
