Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
The Osprey Sprint Triathlon, Portland – Race two of the year for me and as I’ve been trying to tell everyone, I’m not taking things quite so seriously this year. I’m still training fairly well and in that respect there had been nothing wrong with my preparation. I’m not however doing things to quite the...
As an Apple Fan-boy, you’d expect me to be excited about the new Apple Watch, but for me it just doesn’t seem to do enough. Now I know that it’s a first generation product and will therefore improve in future iterations. I also know that often Apple products do less than their competitors, or have...
After what was supposed to be a recovery week training wise, it was back to it today with some hellish hill reps. Not that the preceding week was exactly restful thanks to lots and lots of work to do, both website design work and working at the University, which meant that in order to fit...
Holiday time!!! if you can call cycling the length of Britain from John O’Groats to Lands End a ‘holiday’.. Or driving it for that matter as that’s what Anna will be doing acting as support crew along with Morgan. Before we could do that though we had the small matter of driving North to John...
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...
I haven’t written much about my triathlon training lately… Not because I haven’t been doing any but mainly because I haven’t had time to fit much blogging in. What with my new job in the Sports and Exercise Department at the University (something else I need to blog about), some painting and decorating jobs that...
I had my swim stroke recorded on video a few weeks back and have now got a copy of the footage. Now, before you say anything, my swimming isn’t too bad, but I’m also far from being ‘really’ fast. I guess I’m better than the ‘average Joe’ in the water, but even so I’m nowhere near...
Amazon.co.uk Widgets I decided with my new emphasis on swim training over the winter that it was time to treat myself to some new swim shorts. Actually, it’s an entirely altruistic purchase as the stitching on my older shorts is looking a little suspect and I wouldn’t want to subject other pool users to any kind...
I’ve always been a fairly good swimmer, at least, as far as I can remember I have. I don’t remember really ever having had any proper coaching though or going to a proper swim club when I was younger. Somehow I just picked it up as I went along, trained hard here and there and...
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...
