hello

i've joined the world of blogging...not that i know anything about the world of blogging. i guess the basic premise of a blog is to write interesting 'stuff' that people want to read about (have a failed already??) i will try my best but suspect that instead of writing insightful, thought provoking ramblings i will instead have to delve into the the infoweb and plagiarise...(clearly i meant to say refer to) genuinely valuable content from people cleverer/funnier/sexier than me.

i'll start today with a bit about myself: i would probably describe myself as a medical student who's also a triathlete...not that i would introduce myself as this to anyone but cyberspace but for ease of convenience it's a description that's accurate. i'm fortunate enough to have had some minor success and i'm lucky enough to have been supported this year by The Tri Store (i also work there so I strongly suspect their threshold for sponsoring me was significantly lowered simply because if i lose/damage any of the equipment they just won't pay me for a few years) hence why i'm writing this blog. i'm supposed to tell you all how amazing the equipment i use is...given that much much much better athletes already choose nike, cervelo et al. i sense my endorsement won't lead to an overnight doubling in sales, however i do tend get quite excited about tri kit (demonstrated by the fact that I was paid in stock for nearly 6 months) so i may occasionally accidentally/on purpose do some product placement...although admittedly I will probably just be subliminally influencing my family given my likely readership.

i will apologise now for bad grammar, spelling, syntax however what i lack in quality i will hopefully make up for with quantitiy. i will endevour to write some 'proper' posts soon (e.g. race reports) but that will have to be ciao for now...t

ps i will never proof read posts and i will use far too many '...' to avoid proper punctuation/allow me thinking time
