Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Well, the time had come, time to defend my title as European Triathlon Champion in the Sprint 40-44 year age-group and time to race. To be honest it was unlikely that I would defend it, but I was going to have fun trying and it’s always good to race on the international scene. Preparation My...
My trip to Kitzbühel in Austria for the 2014 European Triathlon Championships had begun. It started with an uneventful train journey to Manchester. I actually got off a stop early at Wilmslow where a client of mine was meeting me. Keith from Mannerborne who provides chauffeur services to the rich and famous had offered to...
Yep, it’s race time again so I have to subject you to my new toes. Union Jack toes again for an international race as I’ll be competing for Team GB.
It’s always difficult to do a proper test of new parts or new kit for the bike. There are always so many variables at play that it’s not easy to say for sure whether or not these things make a difference, especially when testing in the real world and especially when you don’t have a...
My ‘ugly mug’ seems to be sought after at the moment. Following a photoshoot on the University Campus I’m once again in the sports section of the Cambrian News. And I’ve just got back from a quick trip to Bristol for a photo shoot for Dymag Wheels prior to heading off to Kitzbuhel for the European Triathlon...
My valve extenders have arrived so my new Dymag wheels are on and ready to go – I’m just waiting for the rain to clear up before trying them out. As I said before, they look good on the bike… Especially with the colour coordinated hubs and tyres. Maybe I should go with Red, White...
Check out my new wheels from Dymag Performance Cycle Wheels. Nice hey! Can’t wait to give them a good thrashing at the European Champs in Kitzbuhel. I’ve got a 50m deep section carbon rim up front, 60mm deep section carbon rim on the rear, laced to DT Swiss 240 hubs with Sapim Aero Bladed CX-Ray spokes....
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...
