    I've been doing a bit of running since Christmas and I'm up to running 8km in about 55 minutes.

    I've also been doing a bit of cycling over the last 12 months and can rattle along at a nice pace.

    Thing is today I saw some posters for a duathlon in Fota on the 01st of March, I'ld like to try it.

    I'm not going to try and break any records just to participate, am I mad, will I give myself a heart attack.

    I'm 38 years of age and all of this is new to me but I'm becoming addicted.

    Just do it!

    Take your time on the first run, don't go too nuts on the bike and if you feel able you can push on for the second run.

    Practice doing some short runs immediately after you get off the bike if you can.

    Only did my first a few weeks ago and absolutely loved it, can't wait for the next one.
