Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
My triathlon training and racing has been going well lately, but I’d still like to step things up a gear and get faster still. I can’t afford new go faster kit such as aero wheels or a tri-specific bike which could shave some seconds off my times. I could increase the training load which I...
At last, we had a taste of summer here over the weekend. Clear blue skies, seabreezes and temperatures up to almost 20°C. Not only did Morgan and I manage to go for a swim in the sea on Saturday and Sunday, but we tidied up the garden a little and managed to put the moth...
Our recent and pointless trip to the Apple Store gave Morgan a chance to play with some of the toys there. He is saving up for an iPod Touch but had a go with other things too…. Somehow he just instinctively knows how to use them and within seconds managed to take a photo of...
I’ve just been added to the list of ‘pro performance athletes’ on the Beet-It website… Check me out: http://www.beet-it.com/athletes/ Looking good!
I’ve been having some bad luck with Apple lately. First the hard drive in my iMac died. I did of course have a back-up so was able to boot from an external drive and continue working and I also had AppleCare cover on it so thought that getting it repaired would be easy. I gave...
The Provisional Results from the Bristol Harbourside Triathlon are out. Click here to download them. So far it is just the finishing times and positions so there aren’t any splits but this is how the people I was with did (In overall order).

The Sprint Distance Triathlon had been “chosen by...

I don’t quite get it myself, but Morgan seems to like them. Puffles originate from an online Disney game called Club Penguin where children can explore an imaginary icey world through the use of a penguin avatar. It’s a massively multiplayer online...
Just a quick little video clip using Ascent to compare my two recent runs around a hilly loop that I do. The blue dot and lower graph represent my run on June 27th 2012 where I beat my personal best for this route by a massive 2 mintes and 5 seconds with a time of...
