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 won’t be here for Fathers Day next weekend as I shall be in Turkey competing for Team-GB in the European Age Group Triathlon Championships, so Morgan had a surprise for me this morning… An early Fathers Day card and a present on the form of a hand made case for my new iPhone. ...
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...

Another busy day yesterday and with such long days I tend to start at around 4:30am as the sunrise wakes me up. It started off with lots of computer work as I have a new website design project that I’m working on. It’s nice to get the creative juices flowing again and I’m quite enjoying...
As you probably know I’m quite a gadget hound and and Apple fanboy. I have gadgets all over the place, not just computers, iPads and iPods, but GPS devices, Sat Navs and numerous training devices. In fact my triathlon training would barely be possible without electronic gadgets as I use my Garmin Forerunner 910XT on every...
It looks as though June has brought with it the arrival of summer. So, here’s a few pretty photos from the garden.
