My name is Mike and I am\u00a0continuing\u00a0my triathlon journey.\u00a0 I was doing a fair bit of running and then in 2007 decided to branch out into triathlon instead of only focusing on running.\u00a0 I completed my goal for 2008 of completing an Ironman 70.3 race (it was Austria 70.3) and\u00a0then took the next step towards my goal for 2009, which was to\u00a0complete a full Ironman.<\/p>\n
In July 2009 I completed my first Ironman – IM Austria!<\/p>\n
So from now on, this blog will serve as a diary, of sorts, to record the ups and downs and highs and lows of my triathlon career! Of course, real life, which\u00a0pays the bills and keeps a roof over my head, takes precedence and often results in patchy training and, unfortunately,\u00a0general lack of routine.<\/p>\n
This blog will now also include non-triathlon posts! Probably mostly IT\/techie stuff but may contain other topics which I consider may be of interest \ud83d\ude42 I hope you enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
