Countdown to the Competition

Just two months from today, I will have my fist official competition. Given that I am still injured after more than 8 weeks I was talking to my physiotherapist about treating this injury by ultrasound rather than by simply self- healing.

My concern is that time is running out and I need to prepare well. He suggested that right now I should only Swim and nothing else. He does not agree that I should go there to compete but simply to see how it goes and whether I like it or not.

I want to make it clear that I am going to compete with myself and with the targets I have set out. I am working hard to achieve these goals.

From Zero to Triathlon Hero

As I approach my first Sprint Triathlon competition after more than 12 years in Volleyball I cannot answer the myriad of questions that pop up in my mind.

Getting to know more facts about Triathlon training simply increases the questions. They become increasingly complex with every answered question.

However, right now I am feeling hindered due to a leg injury which has stopped me from running altogether. I feel that running is my weakest area and am looking forward to get back on track as soon as I can.
