New Challenges - Broken Bones or Sheer Exhaustion
Well I've notched up 3 more projects over the weekend - that must be a bit of a record, even for me. Still focussing on weight loss I'm trying to cram in the opportunity to exercise for 4 hours a day.
So project number 1: Kick Boxing
Yup, I've just signed myself up for an 8 week course of kick boxing with kbkickboxing. They do a lot of stuff particularly for women, although the course I'm joining is mixed.
So that is going to leave me nicely bruised/
Project number 2: Inline Skating
This has got to be the craziest plan so far. Me on flippin roller blades?! We went to Hyde Park last night and all the cool street skaters were out, strutting their stuff. So in my imagination I've been transformed to this hip, graceful, free, skating anarchist just by the purchase of a pair of skates from ebay.
Watch this space - I'll have broken wrists by this time next week.
Project Number 3: IronMan Triathlon
So I've managed to run for 6 minutes - with walking gaps, and now i reckon I can commit myself to an IronMan event.
I even shake my head at myself - what a loon!
Anyway, it gives me something to aim at. I'll start off by aiming for a 10 k running event and then maybe go for a sprint triathlon. Scary stuff.
The table shows whats involved for each of the individual triathlon events.
| EVENT | SWIM | CYCLE | RUN |
| SPRINT | 0.75 km | 20 km | 5 km |
| OLYMPIC | 1.5 km | 40 km | 10 km |
| MIDDLE | 2.5 km | 80 km | 20 km |
| IRONMAN | 3.8 km | 180 km | 42 km |
