Bristol Triathlon 2012 – Race Report
We’ve just got back from a great weekend of racing in Bristol at the 2012 TriBristol Harbourside Triathlon. Organised and run by BADTri and 1 Step Beyond it was a well run event that saw 900 triathletes competing in either a Standard Distance or Sprint Distance triathlon. The Sprint Distance Triathlon had been “chosen by...
Run Comparison
Just a quick little video clip using Ascent to compare my two recent runs around a hilly loop that I do. The blue dot and lower graph represent my run on June 27th 2012 where I beat my personal best for this route by a massive 2 mintes and 5 seconds with a time of...
Fun Facing your Fears of Failure
I think one of the reasons that many people don’t do things such as triathlons is that they have a fear of failure. It’s hard to get motivated at the best of times, but if on top of that you think you won’t be able to do it then for many people there just isn’t...
Bristol Harbourside Triathlon Preparations
I’m racing again this weekend in the Sprint Distance Bristol Harbourside Triathlon. This was the race that first got me interested in the whole Age-Group World Championship thing. I wanted to do a race in or around Bristol again this year so that Brad, Mike and possibly Jay could join in again, but having done the Wotton...
Seeking Sponsorship
As you’ve probably already read elsewhere on this blog, I have recently qualified for Team GB to compete in the 2012 ITU Age-Group Triathlon World Championships. These take place later this year in Auckland, New Zealand. As you can imagine, travelling to Auckland to compete is going to be expensive. Not only are there costs...
Buying Some Time
As you may know from a previous post, I’ve been doing a weekly time trial on my bike as a way of improving my bike splits and testing my performance. I was due to do the time trial again today and wanted to try out my new aero helmet as well to see if it...
Go Faster Hat
It was only a matter of time. I’ve already blogged about my faster shoes for triathlons and the go faster purple power potion, so now its time to get aero! Everyone said that I looked a little out of place at the Big Cow Triathlon as the athletes I was racing against had full-on aerodynamic...
Team GB Kit
I’ve just received my Team GB Kit. All the elite athletes seem to be posting photos of themselves in their Team GB kit ready for London 2012, so I thought I join in. Mine might not be quite such a prestigious event, and rather than having my photo taken by a professional photographer in a studio I...
A Brutal New Course Record
Wow, that was quite a run, I was smashing records all over the place. Wednesday morning seems to be my day for a long hilly run. Not that long in comparison to what some people do, but long enough for me. As the nearest hills are about 4 miles from here, I tend to drive...
