All Is Quiet On The Western Front

I was just looking on here the other day and realised how long it had been since anyone had posted on here. It certainly has been a while. Has it been because we haven't been doing anything, has it been because we've been too lazy or have we just been too busy. I know what my excuse is, but what about the others?

For me, the truth is simply that I've lost some of my motivation and with that I've been focusing on other things. After the marathon there wasn't much for me to target towards, yes I had two sprint triathlons but I also knew I could complete those as they were nothing new. I guess the thing with me is that I need something to train for because at the moment the best motivation is just completing something. I've discovered that if the event is something big that I haven't done before then I'm more likely to train for it out of fear of failure.

What I need to do now is to get motivation to finish these races in a good time, and not just get round. I've got a completely different challenge coming up next year, hopefully between now and then I'll get motivated to go fast as well.

A New Poll

With the first poll, "Who will be the first to train and receive the 2012 second milestone", not correctly choosing the right answer (60% chose Roy but Mark was actually the first to train, albeit a little drunk)

 

I thought it was time for another. But what to choose from... we could have a poll on who will be first to train in Feb, but that would be too similar to the last. Therefore, seeing as though this is a blog, let's have a poll to see whose blog post can get the most comments from different people.

Quite simply, this poll is open open till Sunday the 19th February. All blog posts count but the post with the most comments by different people wins. I wonder how many people will get to read this and how interesting the posts will get.
