Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Hot on the heels of Sports Day at school, the next day after school we headed out for the Ras yr Hafod at Hafod Estate. This was an adult 10k race along with several kids races. Morgan wanted to do it, but not alone so roped his friend Cameron into it as well. None of them...
My valve extenders have arrived so my new Dymag wheels are on and ready to go – I’m just waiting for the rain to clear up before trying them out. As I said before, they look good on the bike… Especially with the colour coordinated hubs and tyres. Maybe I should go with Red, White...
I’ve just survived two weeks of very poor triathlon training. The first was due to a taper week for a race during which time I was suffering with sciatica issues and therefore did no training, the second week was due to some sort of lurgy and a calf injury following my race at the British...
With the British Sprint Triathlon Championships race over and done with, all efforts are now geared towards the European Championships which take place in Kitzbuhel, Austria exactly four weeks from today. As defending European Champion I should be going into this fit, fast and raring to go, but at the moment I feel far from that....
Anna would say that it is just my normal pre-race jitters, but with the British Sprint Triathlon Championships coming up in Eton in little over a weeks time things aren’t looking good for me at the moment. A Matter of Priority Training has been a little lack lustre for a while now and I’m just...
Seeing as we didn’t have a huge amount planned for the Bank Holiday weekend and were simply staying at home we seemed to pack quite a bit in. Triathlon Training and Animations on the Big Screen Saturday started with a bike ride for me, just a quick ride towards Machynlleth, a quick blast around the...
With our plan to cycle from John o’Groats to Land’s End to raise money for the JDRF later in the year, we thought it was time to get some training in so Jay and Mike came up to stay for the weekend and we headed out for a ride each day. Jay had said that...
It’s supposed to be a recovery week this week for me but yesterday’s session was 3x 1 mile repeats with 3 minutes between intervals and the aim was to increase to speed for each mile. I set my Garmin Forerunner 910XT up for the workout, inputting target zones of 6:40 – 6:30 mins/mile for the...
Unfortunately last nights training session didn’t go too well. I decided to join the Ystwyth CC Chain Gang, so turned up at Rhydepennau at the prescribed time, met up without about 30 other cyclists and then we split into 4 groups and started off around the Borth loop. Crash! For a start it was quite a...
Well, that felt odd this morning… Heading off to work while the sun was shining and Anna and Morgan were off at home. It’s usually the other way around, I’m the one staying at home whilst they head off to school and work, but not today thanks to my new(ish) job at the University. Yes,...
