Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
I can’t run at the moment due to a case of Plantar Fasciitis, so my usual run, swim and bacon sandwich on a Sunday morning has been replaced with a swim, bacon sandwich and a ride instead. It’s not doing much for my running but it does give me an opportunity to do a longer...
Spring must be well and truly here as I’ve been getting out in the real world on my bike. After a winter sat on the turbo trainer it’s nice to be outside in the sunshine – although I do have to say that I’m a little odd in actually liking the discipline and controllability of the...
As you may know, I’m now the proud owner of a Garmin Fenix 3 watch. It took a while to get it as it was stuck at the delivery depot for weeks and the two companies that were involved in delivering it (UK Mail and Cooper Carriers) didn’t seem able to communicate with each other, so...
[dropcap]T[/dropcap]uesday already and our first full day in Dorset. One of the main reasons for coming here was to go fossil hunting, so we wasted no time and planned a day at Charmouth today to find some fossils. I started the day with an early morning run into Weymouth and back along some of the...
The Osprey Sprint Triathlon, Portland – Race two of the year for me and as I’ve been trying to tell everyone, I’m not taking things quite so seriously this year. I’m still training fairly well and in that respect there had been nothing wrong with my preparation. I’m not however doing things to quite the...
After a weekend at my parents house for Easter we spent most of Easter Monday heading south towards Dorset. Cerne Abbas Giant We took quite a random route to get there and stopped off at Cerne Abbas to take a look at the giant there which Morgan found quite amusing. We had a nice picnic...
As an Apple Fan-boy, you’d expect me to be excited about the new Apple Watch, but for me it just doesn’t seem to do enough. Now I know that it’s a first generation product and will therefore improve in future iterations. I also know that often Apple products do less than their competitors, or have...
One of the main reasons I didn’t want to go flat out in the Dyfi Dash Sprint Triathlon race on Sunday was the fact that doing so usually takes quite a bit out of me. It sounds silly for a race that only lasts just over an hour but if I give it everything I...
Just a quick update on triathlon training to give you a break from the aquascaping project! Things are going OK as I gradually ramp up ready for the season. I’m losing a bit of the weight that I put on during JOGLE last year as well. I’m nowhere near race weight yet but it is at...
I’m doing my best to stick to my new plan of increasing my training a little as the race season gets ever closer. As well as my large scale annual periodisation in which I’m trying something new, I also have a meso-scale pattern within my training where I do a 3 week cycle. This consists of...
