<div>I survived the triathlon season ;-) No injuries, lot's of
personal bests (not so hard for a first year;-), met some crazy
people and again learned a lot about myself.</div>
<div>I was training 10h/week, swimming 5km/week, biking 120km/week,
running 40km/week. <br>
I had to change a lot of habits to be able to do this; <br>
wake up at 6,00 (instead of 7,30) and bike to work (40km) or going
for a 1hr run or even worst go swimming in an outdoor (freezing)
pool.<br>
work less hours (but still do the same amount of work) so I had to
improve my productivity and delegate more stuff (I'm a production
manager of a Cu smelter) My focus has improved, and my vision for
my team also.<br>
Increase the quality of the wife / children time<br>
Increased food care. I followed a strict diet, but allowed for
some chocolate and chips from time to time.<br>
No more TV, you tube or www nights as I wanted to keep making
music. <br>
Abandoned local politics as this serves no purpose.<br>
I spend over 5k€ on material (bike, watch, ...) so bey bey bonus!<br>
</div>
<div>Why?<br>
I quit smoking some years ago and picked up running (and last year
swimming) to make it all visual for me. <br>
But I was getting bored of running around in the forests here, I
needed a purpose.<br>
</div>
<div>Results?<br>
This weekend was my last race, a 1/4 team triathlon, I was the
swimmer (1,1km), my sister did the bike ride (40km) and a friend
was running (10k). We ended on position 20 of 177, not so bad
after all.</div>

<div>Best 1/8: 0:58<br>
Best 1/4: 2:28<br>
And I feel so much better! I really get a kick out of the
trainings. I like having a 6 pack too! ;-)<br>
</div>
<div>What's up next year?<br>
I'll be doing more races. Lot's of 1/8 and 1/4. In 2019 I hope to
do a couple of 1/2 and in 2020 I'll be doing my first whole
triathlon<br>
I need to get my swimming start better, need to be more
aggressive. <br>
I need to increase my biking power.<br>
I need to increase my running speed.<br>
I don't want to be one of the pack, I want to be in front!</div>
<div>Apparently now that the season is over, I can have a short break,
but I think I'll pass that one. I'll be taking it easy for a
couple of weeks, but I need my endorphins ;-)</div>
<div>Cheers,</div>
