Well I finally got around to it. After much debate I’m now a BRAT, or more specifically a member of the Bondi Running And Triathlon Club.

I went to join after work yesterday, but got told I had to show up before 6pm, a feat I managed today. $75 changed hands and I’m now in possession of a shiny new membership card, which also includes membership of the Bondi Icebergs.

BRAT have cycling and running training sessions which I’ll find useful, and also their own race series, comprising triathlon, ocean swims and running. Since those races start with the basics, and nice short distances, they should make it a bit easier to get into this sport.

As for swimming, well I’m also thinking of joining Norths Aussi Masters and training with them. I’m going to head over and check out one of their sessions tomorrow night.

Finally, I think it’s time to buy a bike. I’ll organise a bike fit when I get back from Canberra, and then buy one in August when I get back from snowboarding in New Zealand.
