Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Well done to all those who competed in the first ever INTRtri Autumn Aquathlon yesterday. It was a great event with good conditions. I hope you put in a time to be proud of. I was pleased with my result and you can read my race report here: INTRtri Autumn Aquathlon Race Report. Once I’d...
I decided at the very last minute to do the INTRtri Autumn Aquathlon on Sunday. I had been suffering from a cold and chest infection for about 10 days so had previously talked myself out of it, but on the morning I awoke and was able to breathe through my nose for the first time...
Just a few photos of Steve windsurfing the other day. I was too ill to join him so stood on the side-lines with my camera.
Saturday was an absolutely glorious autumn day. I did manage to spend some time outdoors, doing some gardening and maintenance on the water feature, but also spent a few hours indoors at the ABKA Honey Show. I was therefore dying to get out in the sunshine and ride my bike so decided to go to...

It was another wild and windy day here in West Wales, so just a short windsurf session for me today as I was a little tired after a long mountain bike ride yesterday and the conditions weren’t exactly easy. I walked over to the beach with my kit and met Tom and Sam there. I...
This post is especially for Graham as he wanted me to post the route we did the other evening on our night ride. It may sound odd, but now that the days are shorter and the nights longer and colder, there seems to be renewed interest in our Mountain Bike Night Rides that we do...
Autumn is here and winter is definitely on its way, but we still managed to get a decent group of us out for an open water swim in Clarach this morning. Despite the dark dingy start to the day, complete with some rain for good measure, I met Amanda, Graham, Sharon and Mel in Clarach Bay. After...
Saturday was a pretty miserable day here. It was also the first of the winter rides with the Triathlon Club and seeing as people in the club seem to think I’m a little mad and the sort of person who is up for anything, whatever the weather, I thought I’d better show willing. I don’t...
