Newcomer

I've experienced many things during my 34 years, but I don't think anything will stay with me for as long as the moment I first glimpsed my unborn child.




Just 10 weeks "old", but there she/he was - staring right at me (or would be if foetuses had fully formed eyes at this age)! Whoa. I'm bizarrely proud of saying that it brought me to tears.


"So, what does this have to do with triathlon training?" the more hard-hearted amongst you may ask. Well, not a lot I suppose, you cardiatically petrified automatons. However, between the above pose and this, classic foetal, pose...


...she/he went through an intense kicking and arm-moving period! Most amazingly of all this appeared to be in almost perfect front crawl technique, then cycling/spinning movements then running! Really, my wife is gestating a world-beating triathlete!
