Bristol Triathlon 2012 – Race Report
We’ve just got back from a great weekend of racing in Bristol at the 2012 TriBristol Harbourside Triathlon. Organised and run by BADTri and 1 Step Beyond it was a well run event that saw 900 triathletes competing in either a Standard Distance or Sprint Distance triathlon. The Sprint Distance Triathlon had been “chosen by...
What’s with all the Puffles?
<A HREF=”http://ws.amazon.co.uk/widgets/q?rt=tf_cw&ServiceVersion=20070822&MarketPlace=GB&ID=V20070822%2FGB%2Falslikklworls%2F8010%2F6c9e7378-af41-47dc-9853-eb85432d90b4&Operation=NoScript”>Amazon.co.uk Widgets</A> Puffles seem to be making a comeback in the playground. 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...
Run Comparison
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...
Fun Facing your Fears of Failure
I think one of the reasons that many people don’t do things such as triathlons is that they have a fear of failure. It’s hard to get motivated at the best of times, but if on top of that you think you won’t be able to do it then for many people there just isn’t...
A Meal from the Garden
I do like eating home grown produce and the garden is doing well at the moment. Last night I managed a meal with loads of fruit and veg that we had grown with our own fair hands. It was a bit of a mix and match meal as I grabbed it after a circuit training...
Bristol Harbourside Triathlon Preparations
I’m racing again this weekend in the Sprint Distance Bristol Harbourside Triathlon. This was the race that first got me interested in the whole Age-Group World Championship thing. I wanted to do a race in or around Bristol again this year so that Brad, Mike and possibly Jay could join in again, but having done the Wotton...
One of THOSE weekends
That weekend didn’t quite go as well as planned. Most things were fine. Friday evenings MTB ride with the Scouts went well. Despite the torrential rain all day long it stopped just before we set off and we had a good ride around the Pendam Trail. I was then off on a rifle shooting tutors...
Seeking Sponsorship
As you’ve probably already read elsewhere on this blog, I have recently qualified for Team GB to compete in the 2012 ITU Age-Group Triathlon World Championships. These take place later this year in Auckland, New Zealand. As you can imagine, travelling to Auckland to compete is going to be expensive. Not only are there costs...
Rain Rain Rain
OK, even I’m getting fed up with it now. What has happened to our summer? June was the wettest June on record apparently with double the average rain falling during the month, the Met Office has said. Provisional figures showed the UK received 145.3mm (5.7 inches) during June, beating the previous record of 136.2mm (5.4...
