Outrunning my Age

I’ve posted before about my little challenge of trying to run 10km in fewer minutes than my age in years. Honestly, it wasn’t ever much of an issue, not since I’ve been 40 anyway. Back then a 40-minute 10km run was actually relatively easy. As I progressed through my 40’s I could still run 10km...

Back to What I know

After a day of being a beginner and learning new things on the water at Llandysul on Sunday, it was back to what I know on Monday. 20 knot WSW winds and small waves at Ynyslas with the sun shining. Perfect conditions for my 5.7m sail and 104 ltr board. Alistair was out too on...

Aber kayakers at Llandysul

I was supposed to spend the weekend kayaking with Aber Kayakers at Llandysul. I don’t think there were enough people signed up for the weekend, so it became a day trip on Sunday. That suited me as it’s only a short drive anyway and I could not only do other things on Saturday, but I...

High Tides, New Quad Fins and The Joys of Windsurfing

New Boards, Old Faces, Severne Nano V2 issues

That was a fun day! The first proper autumnal winds and a chance to try out my new boards. I’d arranged for Steve and Simon to head this way for the day and Chris was to join us from Aberystwyth too. Things were looking good from the get-go but we had to wait for the...

A Social Triathlon in Memory of John

I haven’t done a triathlon since 2016 and haven’t done any multi-sport events at all since my heart attack. In fact, I had kind of given up on the idea. I simply would never be as competitive as I was before and I’m not sure that pushing hard in a race would be a good...

New Board Day Again

Don’t worry, I haven’t gone out and bought yet another board!! The JP Freestyle Wave Board that I bought last week had a little issue so I got in touch with Boardwise and arranged to swap it for something else. This meant that I spent Tuesday driving to the Midlands to take the JP Freestyle...
