What's an Ironman then? Well, it's an insane race for the toughest of the tough and incorporates an extreme triathlon: a 2.4 miles swim, a 112 mile bike ride followed by a full marathon - all to be completed within a 16 hour time limit.

I had never heard of Regensburg before but apparently it's lovely. Situated in the heart of Bavaria and has the famous Walhalla Temple.

I fear that I may know all too much about this place before long as it starts to occupy all my dreams and fears. I am coming from nowhere. I have not been able to run for over a year due to a knee injury and have managed at most 8 minutes on a treadmill. Since August I have suffered from a persistent viral infection which means that except for a few bike rides I have not trained and have gotten extremely fat. I cannot swim front crawl. I can breast stroke for ever, but until about 6 months ago I could not front crawl, I still can only just complete a 25 metre pool length. I have not been more than 2 days sober since May and have been smoking quite a bit.
We have set up another blog to track our progress over the next 24 weeks.
