It's Official, Mother Nature Doesn't Want Me To Race!

Ok so the Tsunami surge during my fist triathlon might have just been a coincidence, but now with Tongariro threatening to blow it's top at the team half marathon location, I think mother nature is trying to send me a message!

Still, joking aside, I am just getting back into my stride with my training after a fairly extended break with whooping cough.

It's great to be getting back into it.  I didn't realise how much I would miss it until I stopped.  It's nice to feel the muscles tightening up again after being so lazy for a while.

I have also changed my training program as it seemed a bit daunting to try and jump back in after and extended break.  This is my latest plan. What do you think?
