Tonight I absolutely NAILED my swimming lesson. Which has made me think about my progress. When I first started the TriSquad swimming lessons, I felt slow and useless. Everyone was WAY better than me and it really bothered me because I didn’t think I was THAT bad…but I was, and it was a bit shit.ContinueContinue reading “The IronMan Diaries: 5.5”

Wellington Marathon: 10km
I ran my first 10km where I nether hated it, nor struggled. I have run 10km before, but this was the first time that I didn’t actively hate it. Quite the opposite actually! I enjoyed it.
