Welcome to a blog intended to record progress and training for my various sports; target shooting and multi-sports, specifically triathlon.
In target shooting I compete in standing air rifle, prone smallbore rifle and 3p smallbore rifle and have been doing so for almost four years now. I'll try to upload a graph of some of my scores from the last while so show a (hopefully increasing) trend over the years and months.
My foray into multi-sports is a more recent development. It started with cycling last Summer and has progressed to longer and longer cycles. This summer saw the addition of running to the list with short training runs of around 5km beginning. The swimming is next, which shouldn't be too bad with my history of it and current fitness level. Famous last words...
I take part in sports to various levels. Target shooting is my main focus, in which I compete at a national level with aspirations to international. I have shot abroad in British smallbore and Welsh arigun national finals and hope to become a member of Team Ireland in the near future.
Cycling and triathlon are somewhat different. I take part in these at a recreational level with a view to becoming more involved in training at least and possibly some beginner competitions. It is the endurance aspect of these competitions that attracted me to them initially for improving fitness which is beneficial for target shooting, but I enjoy them so much that they are featuring more and more prominently in my training programme.
Stay tuned for more information on my training and equipment reviews.
