Across the Pond Archives

A few weeks ago Jen and I completed our first triathlon (400m Swim, 20km Bike, 5km Run) with a few friends of ours. Everyone did great (if we do say so ourselves), and for me, it felt good to finally tackle swimming; something I never actually learned as a kid.

As with the marathon last year, we’re taking a slight breather from training while we contemplate plans for next year. I think it’s safe to say that we’ll continue with more triathlons though. The combination of specialities really helps keep things interesting and offers more well-rounded overall fitness than running or cycling alone.
