Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Just some time for some finishing touches before leaving for Turkey. Top of the list last night was to change my team colours from INTRtri colours to Team-GB colours… Looking good! I’m almost packed ready to leave for Turkey tomorrow. Just a few final things to go in the bags and a final weight check...
I haven’t got long to go now. In fact by this time next week the race will be over and it will all be done an dusted. I’m off to the European Triathlon Championships in Alanya, Turkey where I’ll be competing for Team-GB in the 40-44 year old Age-Group. Training has been going well, although...
We have a guest post for you today from Jet2, all about Magnificent Malaga… Malaga is the perfect place to go if you’re after a break from all this chilly British weather! It’s got lots more to offer than beaches and sunshine, although it does have plenty of that too. On top of the typical...
We’ve just arrived in the Isle of Man after a long day travelling on Wednesday. I had a meeting in Aberystwyth in the morning and then went for a run before we started travelling up. My run went surprisingly well considering the fact that I’m not feeling at all like a ‘triathlete’ at the moment....
We went to the Doctor Who Experience in Cardiff on Saturday. We made an early start, leaving the house at just after 6am so that we could get to a running shop to buy some new shoes for me when they opened at 9.30am. We then drove to Cardiff Bay parked and wandered over to the...
As you may know, my performance at the Rother Valley Triathlon last year meant that I qualified to compete for Team GB in the European Age-Group Triathlon Championships this year. After having such a good time in New Zealand at the World Champs, I wasn’t going to pass up on another opportunity for some travel...
While we were in New Zealand we came across a lemon, honey and ginger cordial drink. You could have it hot, cold, as an ice-cream topping, with fizzy water…however you fancy and it was lovely. We tried to find some to bring home but after seeing it everywhere couldn’t seem to find any on our...
Well, the day had finally come, our last day in New Zealand – Boo! It was an early start with breakfast in the camper. Well actually it was a double breakfast for me as I had one before the others got up and then another one once they were awake. We then took the camper...
With our holiday coming towards its end, we had a late(ish) start to the day with breakfast in the camper van at Opal Springs Campsite before driving to Matamata for a Countdown supermarket to buy some final supplies and presents for everyone. Whittakers chocolate, Cookie Time Cookies and Pineapple lumps all round – Mmm Mmm!...
We had an early start on the campsite today, getting up before dawn so as to get to Rotorua in time for the Bike the Lake race. Once in Rotorua I had to get ready, add race numbers and timing chips to my helmet and bike, sort out drinks etc and congregate for the start....
