It had to happen – I gained some weight on Christmas day! My weight has been up and down a bit lately anyway. Before my big race of the year in New Zealand I was down to about 62kg and feeling trim, but whilst on holiday after the race I went a bit mad for...
Another night and yet another Christmas meal, a curry this time in the Taj Mahal in Machynlleth with the Cerist Triathlon Club. I’m not actually a member of the club but I do know lots of them and train with them on a Sunday morning so decided to head along to their Xmas dinner. The...

Hooray, Christmas is coming and we’re all ready for advent with our advent calendars on the table and ready to be opened tomorrow. Anna’s is the Hotel Chocolate one, Morgans the really cool Lego one and mine is the Octonauts (whatever they are) one! Morgan has had a Lego advent calendar a few times now...
