How long can this weather continue? Yesterday was Day 6 of Summer 2013 and once again we had wall to wall sunshine, light winds and a glorious day. Temperatures topped out at 23.1°C. If only we didn’t have to work and do the normal daily routine! Here’s some summery garden photos for you. The Wedding...
What better way to start the day than a hill-reps induced endorphin rush! A 50 minute hilly run was on the training plan and seeing as it is a 20 minute run to the nearest hills I usually drive to the foot of them and run from Borth. My car is in the garage being...
Day 4 of Summer dawned with clear blue skies and plenty of promise. Lots of work to do today though so once again it was an early start in order to fit it all in. Blogging, cleaning, vacuuming, breakfast, stretching, working on websites and then off to a local business to work on their invoicing...
This glorious weather that we are having makes such a difference. Everyone seems happier and this part of Wales is seen in its best light. It’s just a shame we all have to work and go to school. So, in order to make the most of it I was up early yesterday so that I...
Hooray, Summer finally arrived yesterday, but it took its time coming. We had a busy day ahead of us so my day started at 5am with a bike ride. Nothing too exciting, just a couple of time around the Borth Loop, with a 14 mile Time Trial effort thrown on for good measure. Unfortunately the sun...
It’s been a week since I got back from the European Age-Group Champs in Alanya, Turkey. I’m now back in the UK after an amazing trip. I booked my travel independently through Thomas Cook and boy am I glad that I did. Those that booked through the BTF’s preferred travel partner Nirvana had loads of...
I haven’t got long to go now. In fact by this time next week the race will be over and it will all be done an dusted. I’m off to the European Triathlon Championships in Alanya, Turkey where I’ll be competing for Team-GB in the 40-44 year old Age-Group. Training has been going well, although...
Another busy day yesterday and with such long days I tend to start at around 4:30am as the sunrise wakes me up. It started off with lots of computer work as I have a new website design project that I’m working on. It’s nice to get the creative juices flowing again and I’m quite enjoying...
I knew it would happen.. Less than three weeks to go until the European Triathlon Champs and I blew my healthy eating regime on Scout Camp. Shed loads of sweets, chocolate and cakes, far too much bread and loads of sausages! Thankfully it was only a couple of days and we’d taken plenty of fruit and...
