What’s Next!

After 4 months of obsessing over the MDS life seems a little bit flat, what’s next? how can I do better next time? Do I try a new sport?

I have read a fair articals online relating to the month post MDS as it seems that it is fairly common for people to go through a down period, it suggests that you should not book your next adventure within the first month of finishing. Particularly as I am still suffering a bit from tiredness, feeling sick in the morning , cramps and frustrating dreams. 2 weeks on I am improving but still not 100%.

 I ignored the advice and booked the next trip, nothing quite as extreme but a different challenge. I have entered the Trail Ticino, a 117km on stage event with +/- 8,500m across Switzerland. This will test how I fair running a long stage in one go. 82km is the longest single stage I have completed to date so the extra 39km, almost an additional marathon is not going to be a walk in the park when you consider the profile of the course.

Now I have a couple of events booked as a few swimming lessons planed to see if it is worth attempting a Triathlon, I am going to keep the blog running  all be it at a less frequent rate until the Berlin Marathon at the end of September where I hope to go sub 2:55.
