Tri-ing new things

Just signed up for a taster session at a potential triathlon club. I know that sounds uber sporty and serious which is why I am actually very nervous because really I don't feel that fit at the moment & I don't take my training seriously.

I will be leaving the comfort of the Superchicks, which I have loved and enjoyed so much, for more specific and focused training. If left to my own devices this happens. I admire people who follow a training plan and actually do it so much because it's so dedicated of them, unfortunately, I have little to no discipline, unless training becomes non negotiable, I wont do it.

So I'm 'tri'ing out <-like what I did there? TriLondon  mainly because their sessions are bike & swim heavy (the two bits I 100% need help on for my 12in12 challenges) but the real reason is because they call themselves, 'London's friendliest triathlon club'. 

After a few emails with the club's coordinator I'm meeting the new crew at 5.50 am (yes A-M) next Friday for my first swim session. I think Homer Simpson can provide a pretty good visual representation to how I'm feeling right now:

ARHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

How real/soon/scary is that?! What if I'm rubbish? What if I don't get on with anyone/they don't get on with me? What if I sleep in? What if I'm so rubbish they hope that I don't sign up to the club? 

I know I'll only find out by going and I'll never manage to do all my events if I don't train for them but I wish I could fast forward this bit! Wow it's like first-day-at-school nerves.

Totally necessary to improve stats like this:

Cycled - 25.76 km

Ran - 16.53 km 

Every meter counts!!
