Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
I can’t run at the moment thanks to my plantar fasciitis, so I decided to go for a nice long ride on Saturday instead. It was cool and cloudy out there with quite a strong NW wind, as I headed out just before 7am. I started off riding into Machynlleth and then along the north...
That pained expression is what it took this year to qualify for the World Champs later in the year and the 2016 European Champs. Yep, I’ve just had confirmation that I have once again qualified for the 2015 World Triathlon Age-Group Championships that will be held in Chicago this September, and the 2016 European Triathlon...
Racing in Triathlons tends to take us to places we haven’t been before, and St. Neots in Cambridgeshire was one of these places. We drove down after school and work on Friday evening and arrived at a nearby Premier Inn which was to be our bed for a couple of nights. It was quite late...
St Neots, in Cambridgeshire, and the British Sprint Triathlon Championships were in town. Once again we found ourselves getting up early in a Premier Inn Hotel room ready to head off to do a fairly high profile race. Not only was it the British Championships, but it was also a qualifier for the World Championships...
Morgan’s school was closed on election day so that it could be used as a polling station. This seems silly to us as I’m sure a portacabin in the park adjacent to the school would be more than sufficient for a polling station rather than closing down the whole school, but Morgan obviously wasn’t complaining. Anna...
Seeing as my last post here was raving about what a nice day it had been for a bike ride, I thought I’d balance thew world with a quick post about yesterdays bike ride. Needless to say, it was a very wet and miserable one! No photos and nothing to rave about, just some more miles...
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...
