Hi!

I am a 26 year old bloke living in Sandyford who has competed in olympic distance triathlons for the past 5 years, but am now looking to move up to Iron distance events, and intend for my first Ironman to be the UKIM on 8th August 2010. I also hope to compete in a number of olympic and middle-distance (half IM) events throughout next season.

I have started my 36 week training schedule and am a member of a tri-club in the north east. However, to mix-up my training and especially for morning sessions it would be really great to have a training partner.

You don't have to be looking to enter an Iron distance event, but you should be of a reasonable standard of fitness and want to get fitter. Sessions I'm thinking of will be something like 15-20km runs or 60-80km bikes to start with, building up to around 40km / 200km respectively by the time August comes around.

It would be great to hear from you if you're interested, then we can perhaps arrange to meet up to discuss the logistics!

Thanks!

Sam
