This duathlon lark doesn't sound so bad!

Being the wife of a 2 x Ironman (Frankfurt 2009 and Lanzarote 2011 with the tattoo and medals to prove it), I have a good idea of how time consuming, mentally and physically taxing, completely competitive yet exhilarating, amazing and life changing this experience can be.  Travelling to different locations around Europe doesn't hurt either. Before you ask how my training is going I'd like to stop you right in your tracks!  Here are a few things you should know about me... 1.  I love watching triathlons and supporting my husband.  Yes, he does triathlons because he loves them but there are times when you need the support during and at the end of the race, and I'm very happy to carry his kit and scream and shout to drive him on to swim, bike and run as fast as humanly possible!  In fact, I get quite competitive about shouting as loud as I can and being at the front of the crowd so he can see me! 2.  I'm not very good at early morning starts (except for ...

A fab site for when you are bored and wanting to know random things like this!) Subtract 35 days and 35 weekends (105 days): 139 days  Subtract roughly 20 days in South Africa for holiday: 119 End result for 2010: 119 days x 7 km = 833 km walked These are the rough stats for 2011 (pre office move) Distance to work (via nursery) and back home, bearing in mind this...
