It looks as though June has brought with it the arrival of summer. So, here’s a few pretty photos from the garden.
I still feel silly calling myself an athlete, even if it is a triathlete, but I’ve been fairly fortunate lately and have been feeling almost like a real one. Things have been quiet on the work front – quiet enough so as to have some financial worries – but on the plus side it has meant that there...
Open water swim season has officially started again for me… A little later than usual and I’m not sure if that’s because it’s been an unseasonably cold Spring or just that I’m getting soft as I age. However, with a race that includes an open water swim looming in less than 2 weeks I was determined...

Fartlek is always a funny word for us and when included with the word ‘windy’ I guess it’s a little funnier, but a fartlek session what I had planned for yesterdays main training session so that’s what I did. For those who don’t know what it means, Wikipedia have it defined as: Fartlek, which means “speed...
