2011 Events - I've booked

Well as I work towards the Ironman event in September, I'm gradually going to build up to it with a number of events which will be used as training and an indicator to how well I'm doing. So I thought I'd list them to see how they build up:-

o   North Tyneside 10k - 24/4/11   Help Julie complete a 10k in under 60 mins

o   Long Course Weekend – Tenby 

§  2.4 Mile Sea Swim - Friday 3 June - its the same Ironman swim I'll do in Sept

§  72 mile cycle - Sat 4 June - major part of the Ironman cycle - so recce the course

§  13 mile run - Sun 5 June - use as a training run (not part of the Ironman run course)

o   Chester Deva Triathlon - 12 June - Olympic distance event where I hope to knock a considerable amount of time from last years event - where I swam the River Dee google-less

o   Northern Rock Cyclone Challenge - 25 June - 104 mile ride around Northumberland, so plenty of hills but really good event

o   Dee Mile Swim - 29 June - mile swim along the Dee on a Wednesday night - just check to see what my mile time is like

o   Couples Challenge Middle Distance Triathlon 24 July - my real Category B event, where I really will know where I am in my training - sea swim followed by a Coastal cycle of 56 miles - and to complete - 13 miles around Newbiggin :0)

o   Ironman Wales - 11 September - need I say more :0)

These are my main events for now - but I'm sure I'll end up doing some more in between.
