Back To Basics

It's been quite a while since my last blog post here! And a lot has changed, so here's a brief update.

After waking up almost at the eleventh hour, realised that its time to say goodbye to the "Fat And Jolly" festive season thing - considering it's mid February - I mean how long can you ride THAT horse - and start training again.

In the meantime, I came back from Egypt, decided to quit my job after almost 8 years of being there from the beginning when we started the company - and strike out on my own with my own company, so starting a new company and training is going to be quite an experience.

And now, its time to start (albeit a little on the late side) training for IronMan South African in April - there's a countdown that's looming a little too large for my liking on the top of this blog!
After that, its the start of the trail season, which will eventually lead up to what I am soooooooo excited about - the roaming race in the Racing The Planet series is in Nepal this year, and I managed to get a spot. I have always wanted to see Nepal, and after having done the Amazon and seen the Pyramids, I get my chance to tick off number three on my list - can't wait, but there's a crap load of training that needs to be done in the mean time.

Met with Ian last night, who once again takes the reins in an attempt to steer the process - I think Ian has his work cut out for him for the IronMan section - my main concern is that since my accident a year ago, I have been very, very nervous to get back on the bike and its showing in my rides at the moment - I am very hesitant and a result my handling skills are nowhere!!!

He's suggested that I come in for a balancing session of sorts to try and sort out the handling thing, will keep you updated!
I am off to Durban tomorrow - quite tired now, had a nice long run tonight - but have a 04:00 morning to get to the airport in time - gees that's early!
