Well the 70.3 has come and gone and it was personally a major milestone for me and I had completed it; oh ok i completed with barely 10 minutes to spare. Now for another mountain to climb. I am still deciding if I should be doing the IMWA. It may be a real tall order as it stands; but its either that or try to do another 70.3 race or 2 right?
I have been mulling over the need to get a coach to help me. Well SH needed it and it really helped him. He did a 6:06 and scores of other chaps have it. I have always baulked at having structured training but I do acknowledge that:
1. it provides motivation
2. the other chaps in the class will spur you on
3. you meet like minded chaps who can be friends for which you can enjoy the races together.
The problem is the job i have does not make for organised training. A single case lasting 12 hours will put my training plans awry. Painful as it is, I am afraid I will waste money getting into a program i can't keep up with. Also I always thought and prided in myself the ability to push myself through barriers and self motivattion has never been a problem. I could no doubt still complete and train for an IM event by following programs in books/ websites but what if i could increase satisfaction by not finishing in the top half of my age group?
So the last 2 days I have been trawling Shem leong's and yellowfish and Tribob"s website deciding and I am still doing so.

Hi there, came to your blog from Ong SE site. Congrats and well done for completing the 70.3. If your schedule doesn't permit you to join group training, you may want to consider getting a personal coach instead. Try this guy: http://www.bensweepersonaltrainer.com/
