Hi I'm MD. A forty something triathlete who just thought you might be interested in my thoughts on training for the mature triathlete. I am no elite athlete, I am just a trier who still wants to improve as he gets older.

Triathlon round up

We were lucky to have a great day for the triathlon on Sunday. By great I mean cool and cloudy. There are down sides of course. There was a bit of a swell in the water and the return legs on the bike were tough into the wind but this is great when compared with stifling heat or high humidity.

I am very lucky to have a wife who also competes. This means that we can train together, and race together giving each other encouragement along the way. I like to see her do well and love her very much.

My race was a good one. I had a great swim, an average bike and a good run. The ankle injury held up well giving me no problem at all in the run. This is the last triathlon in Melbourne for over a month due to the Commonwealth Games being here during March. My next race will be in April over the Olympic Distance of 1.5km swim, 40km bike and 10km Run.
