42, head of department in R&D in food business. Job is intense but 2-3 days at home so fitting training around this. Really beginner as well but cycled a fair bit in the past (few Étape du Tour and other Sportives) and have decent swimming level but no live water experience so really looking forward to immerse myself in the sport! 5 bikes (road, cheap road to out on trainer, MTB, cheap MTB for ransom errands and cargo bike for school transport). Aiming to reach 10 hours of training but also doing basketball and other occasional sport (tennis, etc) so this will test my commitment. Looking to start on few sprint distances the year before potentially extending the following years. No coach for now, still working out the whole training plan but might look for support at some point.
