Challenging

The tri's next weekend *wibbles*...seriously, though, I'm really looking forwards to having a laugh, and the new type of challenge. I've been bimbling about in a really rather unstructured way, training-wise, for the past month or so - mainly because I've been really busy in other aspects of my life, plus I think it's because I've got two different event-types in close proximity and I've been torn as to my main focus.

So, I've been looking beyond the tri and thinking about what to do next. I've got the Brum half lined up in four weeks, and today I've entered the Keyworth Turkey Trot in December, which is another half marathon. There's a guy called Muttley on the RW forums who's been pursuing a "100 medals by the time I'm 50" challenge, a bet from his son, and this got me thinking. So I went and counted my medals.

At the moment, I've got 17. This would have been 18, were it not for the fact that we had rucksacks instead of medals for the Muller 10K this year (this is not a moan. The rucksack is very nice). With the Brum half, it'll be 18. I'm not sure if there's a medal for the tri, or for the Turkey Trot - they do say each finisher for the Turkey Trot gets "a memento" though. Suspect this is not a medal. But would that count?

So....the challenge I am thinking of is - 30 medals by the time I'm 30. This gives me just about five months to garner 13 medals.

Better go and do some RW Events searching....
