My name is Annabel and I’m a complete novice to triathlons. I set up this blog to document my journey until I compete in my first ever triathlon event. An Olympic distance triathlon.

​

Did I mention I’ve never done a triathlon before?

​

I live in cold and rainy Manchester, but really a southerner at heart. I'm also a part time fitness enthusiast. I love watching movies, eating out, pole fitness and running. 

​

I want to inspire people to make the most of their health, fitness and live life to the full. 

​

Last year I completed my first marathon and so this year, I wanted to set myself a new challenge. Next thing you know, I’m entering for the full mile swim-40k cycle-10k run around Salford Quay in July.

​

This is a personal blog about my experiences in training, progress, motivations and my thoughts along the way. All opinions are my own and anyone looking for professional advice should talk to a professional.

​

Wish me luck.
