Probably should have started this blog back in November when I started back into things.
A few significant tips I picked up along the past few months:
1. To quit smoking, don’t waste your time on patches – head straight to the Champix. The Government will subsidise it and it makes you feel like you have already had a cigarette, so you don’t really crave on. Try it and let me know how you get on. Link here
2. Join a team. Look for your local triathlon club or cycling group. They look intimidating in all their lyrca and the idea of joining them scares you I know... but I bit the bullet and did it, and haven’t looked back.
3. Don’t be a turkey with ‘all the gear and no idea’. Ease into it. It’s a bloody expensive sport. Do your research and know what you’re buying before you put the money over the counter.
4. Let your mates know what you’re doing. The more you get into the sport the less they are going to see you, fact. At least until you adjust to the training schedule. Warn them, otherwise you will piss them off. I’ll cover off a little more of the social aspect of things later on.
Till next time
