Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
With the World Championships looming and my old TYR Hurricane wetsuit looking a little worse for wear I thought it was time to spend yet more money on this trip to Auckland and get a new wetsuit. I’d been looking around for a new one for a while and then noticed that Chain Reaction Cycles...
It’s take some organising (mainly by Sharon), but the first ever Aberystwyth Triathlon is on this weekend. Comprising of a 750m sea swim in the bay off North Beach, transition on the prom, a 30km ride up Penglais Hill, out to Tre Dddol and back and then a 5km run along the prom with a sneaky little...
YEEESSSS!!! – Q1, Rother Valley Triathlon. Get in there, Alanya, Turkey here I come!!! OK, it wasn’t quite as exciting as my qualification for the World Championships earlier this year but I’m still pretty pleased. For a start this time I only gave myself one chance by only signing up for the final of 3 qualification events. If I didn’t...
If you don’t know by now, you should, but I’ve qualified for the ITU Age-Group World Triathlon Championships that take place next month in Auckland, New Zealand. It’s going to be a trip of a lifetime, but getting ourselves there in order to compete isn’t going to be cheap so I’ve been looking for potential sponsors. It isn’t...
I wasn’t really sure how this race was going to go. It was quite a big race being my one and only chance to qualify for the 2013 European Championships, but preparations hadn’t been great. I’d been training well but hadn’t necessarily peaked for this race, and I’d been struggling with injuries. The Injury List First...

I don’t know if it is just my usual pre-race pains but I seem to be falling apart at the moment. My left ankle is always sore. I tore some ligaments in it about 18 months ago and the soreness and aches used to come and go but recently they seem to be there all...
As per usual my next ‘race’ has come around sooner than anticipated – The Isle of Man End2End Challenge take place this weekend. It’s a 75km mountain bike race from the Northern tip of the Isle of Man to the Southern tip with plenty of big hills in between. I’m not actually ‘racing it’ and...
One of the things coaches and experts in the field of sports training seem to be talking about these days is the fact that most of us tend to take the hard workouts too easy and even more so, the easy workouts too hard.In effect we end up doing almost all of our workouts at...
You have to stay positive when injured – if you don’t, you’d just get depressed and this sport malarky is supposed to be fun. Of course, an injury is never much fun and the rehabilitation period is frustrating. Most of us just want to get back out there running again and all we can think...
