Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
This was the last day for most of the INTRtri team as they were all heading home today but last nit at the closing ceremony Andrea had agreed that she and Frank would come for a pre-breakfast swim with me. Now, you know me, I’m Mr. Reliable when it comes to these things, the early...
With the racing over it was now time to relax. These international triathlon events are brilliant and take me to places I might not otherwise have gone, but in the run up to the race there isn’t much time for anything other than race preparation, race panicking and race nerves, so it’s nice to have...
With Race Day upon us, Roger and I saved ourselves the walk from the hotel and instead shared a taxi into Alanya. Due to all the road closures it couldn’t get that close to the transition area but it saved us a walk with all our kit. We then walked the rest of the way...
Another fitful night with just a little sleep and Day 4 was upon me. I didn’t feel great but I had a busy day ahead of me so had to get on with it. Breakfast at the hotel doesn’t start until 8am and I had to be down at the race centre before that in...
Day three started OK. When I first woke up I looked at the time on my iPod Nano and it said 2am so I forced myself back to sleep. Next time I checked it said 4:15am so I got up, and then realised that I hadn’t yet changed the time on my iPod Nano to...
We’ve had quite a busy day here in Wales….well, certainly this morning has been hectic. We were up at 5am to cheer Alan on in the European Triathlon Championships in Alanya in Turkey. Morgan and I weren’t able to go due to work and school so have been supporting from home. We had to make...
While Al is away at the European Triathlon Championships in Turkey Morgan is the man of the house, which includes apparently sleeping in my bed….although last night there wasn’t much room for me when I went to bed!
The start of day 2 merged with day 1 really as I was still travelling, but after trying to sleep it was time for breakfast in the hotel. Breakfast was like the rest of the hotel, basic but fine. I then met up with a rep which brought up the whole bike transfer fiasco again...
I finally made it to Turkey! There was a bit of a delay in Birmingham thanks to a strike by the French air traffic controllers and I was there early anyway so ended up having to wait around for about 7 hours. The flight was a little cramped but OK and then I had issues...
I’ve just got through watching the Apple WWDC keynote and I have to say I’m quite impressed. I wasn’t really expecting much as you can’t really force a company to innovate, but from what I’ve seen I’m quite looking forward to the second half of the year as some of the new updates look really...
