‘There is nothing impossible to him who will try’ Alexander the Great

If you’re following this story or new to this story, here is a quick update on my training progress for my triathlon and my amazing support I have received for my bicycle and coaching/trainer and swim lessons!

As I write this we have 79 days and 4 hours left till I set off on my race, and I have plenty of training to do till than; an average week at present looks like this:

Monday:  Morning Swim squad with Luke. Afternoon gym session with Greg
Tuesday: Morning Swim squad with Luke. Afternoon 30 minute treadmill session
Wednesday: Morning Spin bike indoor 1hr.Afternoon 45 minute gym session
Thursday: Morning Swim squad with Luke. Afternoon 30 minute treadmill session
 Friday: Rest Day
Saturday: Road Bike indoor bike: 1hr 10min
Sunday: 30 minute treadmill session

Yip 6 days a week and twice on most days oh did you see I get Fridays off J... I am learning about discipline, perseverance, early mornings, working out whether I feel like it or not and early evenings in bed otherwise those early mornings are not so great! But the reward at the end of the day will be worth it!
Update on support, my amazing office CBM (www.cbm.org) has supported me with 95% of my training fees and swim lessons; I was given a few extra rands from another supporter which covered the rest of my training.

Last week I was given the full amount to buy my bicycle, Yes thats right the full amount!!!! And I also received a few extra rands I can use towards my helmet. My bicycle is being repaired at present but will take a picture and post it on line once I get it!

So we are basically on track and only need a few more rands for this race! Watching how God has provided has been amazing.

I have lots of hard work ahead of me, but I believe with hard work we can all achieve our dreams and desires, so keep going in whatever your doing even if at times you don’t feel like it! Trust me I know what it means to do something whether you feel like it or not! While I am swimming in the morning your sleeping in your nice warm bed!!!!
