• Standing-on-towel
• Hand towel
• Bike
• Helmet
• Sunglasses
• Socks
• Cycle shoes
• Arm warmers
• Saddle bag with spare tube, tyre levers, CO2 cartridges, CO2 pump head, 
• Bottles (one on bike, one in box)
• Power for bottles
• Gels
• Bars
• Trainers
• Garmin
• Garmin charger
• Garmin wriststrap
• Foot pump
• Sunscreen
• Transition box
• Post race clothes and shoes
• Mobile phone and cash in transition box

This list keeps growing, yet I'm sure I'm going to forget something....

My first blog :)

Well, here goes nothing.  This blog is going to be my training log and my soap box.  An attempt to document my journey from semi-serious runner to (hopefully....maybe...) a GB Age Grouper.  It'll also involve me spouting off about things which I deem spoutable.

So first, a little about me...

I am 20 years old and from Pembrokeshire, which is in deepest, darkest South Wales *cue the banjos*.  Currently spending majority of my time in South London *cue the gunshots* at St.  George's University of London where I'm in my 1st year studying Medicine.

I've been running on and off for a few years now, but have taken the plunge and signed up to do The London Triathlon.  This is in 3 days......*cue the fear*  Training is going well though and I have hopes of getting a sub 2:30 on Sunday, as long as nothing horrendous happens....like I lose my goggles, or I punc (can't say the word) ture, or I cramp, or I bonk, or I cry.

So, until Sunday...or possibly Monday....
