Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
It was the last day of Half Term and finally I had a day that I could spend with Morgan. So, after a few chores around the house and a little bit of work we headed up to Pendam for a mountain bike ride. Morgan wanted to head out to Nant y Moch, but I wanted...
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....
We’ve just returned form a good weekend away racing at the British Sprint Triathlon Championships at Eton Dorney. We drove down in glorious sunshine on Friday and arrived at the lake for a quick look around. The course looked good and the weather looked as though it was going to be hot. We had booked...
May 17th 2014 already? Time for the Human Race British Sprint Triathlon Championships at Eton Dorney and what should have been an ‘A’-priority race for me. Training had been going quite well over the winter but the last 6 weeks or so hadn’t been quite so good. As I’ve posted elsewhere I just didn’t feel that...
With a race at the weekend, it would be rude not to have new toes wouldn’t it? And you know what that means – yep, you have to endure yet another photo of my feet! What’s the race? The British Sprint Triathlon Championships at Eton Dorney on Saturday, and ‘No’, I don’t feel ready for...
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...
Following our assault on Bwlch y Groes on Saturday I had planned a long ride on Sunday too but Jay and Mike wanted something slightly shorter and a lot less hilly. I therefore re-planned our route as we ate bacon sandwiches for breakfast. We put on a few extra layers after being cold most of the day...
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...
