Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
With only 4 weeks to go until the Triathlon World Championships in London it’s almost time to start some speedwork in my training. I have until now been doing mainly strength and endurance work and building up my overall fitness. it’s also time to start working on some race specific training such as Brick session....
Well, that was wet – VERY WET! We actually started off in dryish conditions. Jay and I headed out onto the course in about the 4th wave. These events are held on open roads so aren’t mass starts. Instead they let you off in waves of about 12 people separated by a few minutes. As we left...
This was the second year in a row that We’d done this event and once again it proved to be a hit, mainly because of the weekend of free camping in Wales that comes along with it. The MTB Marathon on the Saturday didn’t start until 10am so we had a relaxed morning before lining...
I’m supposed to be doing the CRC Crickhowell Mountain Bike Marathon on Saturday and then the Schwalbe Road Sportive on Sunday, but it didn’t quite fit into my training plan. I’ve therefore made the classic mistake of trying to fit all my training in before the weekend so that I can do these two events. Really...
I’m hoping that isn’t the end of summer but yesterday’s evening swim was definitely less summery than of late and it’s raining again this morning. I even had to put a jacket on after my swim in Aberystwyth last night as it was getting quite chilly and we had to put the headlights on during the drive home...
I did a ride that I haven’t done for a couple of years yesterday. Nothing huge, just a fairly flat ride into Aberystwyth via Lovesgrove, then onto the Ystwytn CC Devils Bridge 22 mile hilly TT course. Making a total of just under 45 miles. Having not done it for a couple of years, it was...
Another guest post for you today, this time from writer, blogger and mum to three Jane Blackmore who is looking for a challenge in order to raise money for Diabetes UK – Something I did a while back with a swim in Lake Bala. Getting some fitness back I am in a quandary. In the...
Well, I think yesterday was Day 20 of Summer – And what a summer it has been. They had been promising rain for a few days though and we did finally get some. The weather during the day was lovely once again. My early morning run at 7am was done under clear blue skies and...
Another summery day here with a hazy sunrise and a spectacular sunset. Maximum Temperature was 23.2°C at 7:38pm. Morgan was at home from school as he was ill, I was busy with work all day but did manage to fit in a ride once Anna got home from work. Just a fairly easy spin with...
The Aberdovey Triathlon was never in my race schedule for this year, but last weekend at swim training I was asked by the organiser if I’d be kind enough to help someone out and do the swim section of the race for them. They wanted to race but didn’t feel comfortable enough in open water so...
