This blog will mark my progress as I start from zero. An out-of-shape cyclist aiming to become fitter than ever, but in a sport hardly existing in his home country.
My country gets on average one or 2 XC-skiable days per winter. I managed zero so far, as I've only owned skis since recently.
Today, March 9th, I'm 2 weeks into my first diet and training weeks which will have to see me in top-shape by next winter.
My aims are simple, yet ridiculously high. I want to be a contender on a national (Dutch) level in XC Skiing, the skate technique in particular.
With my background in mountainbiking, and considering the successes my fellow countr(wo)men have logged in Winter Triathlon, I cannot but include WT that to my goals sheet. Running will be a big part of my training schedule, I just love riding a mountainbike in the snow, and XC Skating is my main goal in life. The perfect circle of three. I've always looked at triathlon as a possible sport for me, but the swimming scared me out. Off-road run-bike-runs were great fun, so WT should be awesome.
My name is Jan Gerrit Klok, call me J. I also go by Cloxxki. This blog will mark my progress as I start from zero. A desperately out-of-shape cyclist aiming to become fitter than ever, but in a sport hardly existing my his home country. My country gets on average one or 2 XC-skiable days per winter. Although that's improving quickly. Goal: someday race XC, and not off the back of the field. And new goal: deliver a good Winter Triathlon (coach wanted).
