The 2017 season looms.
I have been about remiss about posting during the last season but I am setting out with good intentions for this season.
The close of last season saw me complete my second Ironman, IM Wales in a very disappointing time but at least I did it.
Since then I have had an Achilles injury, probably due to returning to training too soon after Tenby and then a week after I got after that I was called in for corneal transplant surgery ans so I missed quite a bit of training.
Anyhow that's behind me now and I have got back to some sort of training although I am still not swimming or lifting weights. The screen shot shows my performance management chart for those of you that use Training Peaks.
The season
This weekend sees my first race of the season at Clumber Park near Worksop. It will be my first actual Duathlon although the farce that was the Rubicon last year was reduced to run-bike-run so it won't be entirely alian to me.

So here's my season - the big races for me are the Middle Distances, particularly the IM 70.3 where I will be competing against my son, Sam.
- Duathlon.Clumber Standard Distance Duathlon
- Skipton Triathlon
- Antwerp Marathon
- Grafman Middle Distance Triathlon
- Ironman 70.3 Staffordshire
- Vitruvian Middle Distance Triathlon
- Long course weekend Tenby
- Wasdale half X Middle Distance Triathlon.
We have raced the distance before and I won by a considerably margin - that's not going to happen this year. In the unlikely event of me winning it will only be by seconds.
