Just a month to the Blenheim Triathlon and I am feeling a real buzz of excitement already.
It was the event that got me into this highly addictive sport and I can't wait for the first feeling of that water.
It was great last year because so many people turned out to watch in the sunshine and having the course lined with support is great.
Of course, suffering slightly from OCD as I do, I am already concerned that I am worse than last year despite the extra work I have been putting in.
One thing I will be doing is putting myself front and centre in the swim. I was badly boxed last here and had to swim at other people's speed which was annoying so this year I am going out hard from the gun to try to leave those annoying breast-strokers in my wake.
