Dare to be there - I'm in! XD

So, following my last post on this blog, I asked my followers to send an SMS so that I could take past in the "Dare to be there" TV Show. First of all I would like to thank all the friends, relatives and whoever sent an SMS with my name. Secondly, I am proud to say that I made it through the final selection and "I'M IN!!!!!" :D

I was extremely happy when I saw the result and I cannot thank you enough, since without your SMSs, I couldn't make it through this selection! THANKS AGAIN!!! :D

Just yesterday we had our first challenge and it was REALLY fun! All the athletes were divided into 9 teams of 3 persons each. We competed against each other by doing archery, paintball (capture the flag), paintball (sharp shooting), slingshot (with water balloons) and knife throwing.

I did really good in certain sports and moderately good in other....considering that I never threw knives, used a paintball gun or held a bow and arrow in my hand I am pretty satisfied with the result!! :)

Next challenge will be held next month and apparently it should be a water based challenge/s.

Triathlon training hasn't stopped, although last week I couldn't train as much as I usually do due to personal priorities. Will try to train harder this week. Also, I am really looking forward for my third race...hopefully nothing happens to my bike and I can give 100% and do a personal best of sub 1hr20mins! :)

Till next time, take care and thanks again!!

Secondary objective: Dare to be there Challenge (TV reality show)

It's been quite some time since my last post. So here's a quick update.

Training has been going good however have been training intermittently due to other (more important) priorities I have in life. Have been doing more weights especially in the upper (core)are to try and improve the swim. Running is going quite good however haven't been concentrating on speed these last weeks. Concentrating more on the bike to run part. Don't want to fade and have cramps in the first 1 - 2kms :) Cycling I'm improving and I am trying to gain more speed and control the lactic acid in my legs as well.

In addition to training I have recently done an audition for the "Dare to be there Challenge" which will be aired on ONE TV within the coming months (end of summer I presume). I have been shortlisted however now I need all your support to make the last step and be able to participate in the program.

Please send an SMS to 50614441and write Malcolm Aber in order to vote for me. :)


Thanks
