I decided that I would retire from rugby as I cannot play for a year as my skull needs to heal properly. Being a lad from NZ, I needed something to fill the void, so I entered the triathlon world.
I am entering in the Monaco half Ironman http://www.monaco-ironman.com/
It is 1.9km swim, then 90km cycle followed by a 21.1km run (half marathon). It will take place on September 7th 2008.
I can already swim 2km without any problems, and I have bought an aluminium frame triathlon bike which I am getting more and more comfortable with as time goes on.
Running around a rugby field was always fun, but running the streets was not my idea of a good time. This has changed though as I have dropped 8kg, and am changing from the body shape of a front row forward to a triathlon nerd. I don't have so much to carry anymore, and I am following in Forrest Gump's footsteps.
