Now my toenails have finally re-grown after my six marathons in six days challenge I have now got my teeth into something new.
No sooner had I come back from the big race than I signed up for my next.
You have to understand that after doing something so big there is a certain amount of withdrawal you can get from not having anything HUGE in the diary.
Training just wasn’t the same without a GIGANTIC challenge ahead of me…
So I did it.
I signed up for Ironman France.
‘It’s ok Steve you’re already fit?’ I hear you say. But it’s not quite that simple.
My last challenge was so different that it had no comparison.
It was an unusual challenge and not many people have done it.
The Ironman is different. People participate in triathlon for years to develop the fitness and the skill to take on Ironman. Many say it’s the crème de la crème of ultra endurance races.
So my challenge is this in the next 17 weeks I need to become an expert ultra distance swimmer, an expert cyclist and then still have the energy to run a marathon at the end!
I can’t wait!!
