More Big Cow Photos
Just some more photos from the Big Cow Triathlon last weekend. This time from Graham & Sharon, although I think Graham must have had the camera set on a weird Tilt-shift ‘miniaturisation’ mode for some reason!

The Swarm that Got Away
Our bees made the most of the warm weather on Tuesday and decided to swarm. I was just getting ready to go out when I had a phone-call from the neighbours saying I’m not sure what your bees are up to but they seem to be doing something, they may be swarming. Indeed they were...
Dingle Garden
We broke up our drive back from the Big Cow Triathlon with a stop at the Dingle Garden just outside of Welshpool. This is probably my favourite garden and I love everything about it, except the fact that mine will never ever look anywhere near as good as this. It was the perfect little stop...
ITU Age-Group World Championship Qualification
YEEESSSS!!! – Q1, Big Cow. Get in there, Auckland here I come!!! That may not mean much to some of you, but it’s a big deal to me. As you’ll know, I’ve been training pretty hard for triathlons over the last year and really ramped up the swim, biking and running in 2012. It wasn’t pure madness,...

Olympic Torch Relay
We managed to miss out on all of the Olympic Torch Relay festivities in Aberystwyth over the weekend as we were away in Northampton for me to compete in the Big Cow Triathlon, but fortunately it was passing close to us on Monday morning. The roads to school were going o be disrupted so the...
Big Cow Triathlon 2012 – Race Report
May 27th 2012, Big Cow Triathlon, one of my ‘A Priority’ races this year and something I’d been working hard towards for months. I’m still relatively new to this triathlon malarky having only started last year and this was my first big, higher profile race. Not only were there close to 1000 competitors, many more...
Final Race Prep – Trip to A&E Wasn’t in the Plan
Those of you who know me or read this blog regularly will know that I’ve been training hard for triathlons this year. The weekend just gone was the first of two big races I had planned so everything had been gearing up ready for the weekend. Training had been going well, I’d put in the hard work,...
