Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Here we go again, another triathlon to compete in on Sunday and the excuses are coming thick and fast. I’m competing in the Hardwick Triathlon in Tewkesbury tomorrow, but thanks to my recent lack of training due to torn ligaments in my ankle I was expecting it to be more of a training session and...
I’m still waiting for the official Bontrager 24/12 video to come out as they were filming all weekend and usually produce something quite slick, but I took my GoPro HD around with me and got some footage of the first lap or so. I’ve already written a race report from the Bontrager 24/12 which has...
We’ve just got back from a week away which all started with the Bontrager 24/12 MTB race in Newnham Park, near Plymouth. We had a good drive down from here, although the weather wasn’t great and as we got nearer to the campsite the weather actually became atrocious with driving rain loads of spray on the motorway...
This seems to be becoming something of a recurring theme for me… I sign up for a race, prepare badly, get injured and always have plenty of excuses before the big day. This time it’s no different but everything is a little more exaggerated than normal. First up, for some reason at the end of last year I decided...
Hopefully you’ve already read my post about our camping weekend in Shropshire. We were there so that I could do the Marshbrook round of the CRC MTB Marathon series along with my brothers Jay and Brad. I also met another friend, Darren there who was riding it too. Darren, Jay and myself had signed up...
Brecon triathlon went well for me yesterday. Anna and Morgan came with me, so after a fairly early start and porridge for breakfast I packed the car and we headed off for the two hour drive to Brecon. We got the just before 9am so saw the first of the swimmers start. I wasn’t supposed...
It looks as though my next race is almost upon us – How did that happen so soon? I’ll be competing, or at least participating in the Brecon Triathlon next Saturday. I’m still easing myself back into the world of Triathlon so it’s only a sprint distance event and I’m supposed to be doing them...
After being talked into a charity triathlon event last year by my sister, I decided to sign up to do some triathlons again this year, so yesterdays 2011 Pwllheli Triathlon was my first ‘real’ triathlon for 20 years. It was a ‘sprint’ event with a 400m pool swim, 12 mile cycle and 3 mile run....
must be completely mad! I’ve just signed up to do the ‘Sleepless in the Saddle‘ Mountain Bike race in August. Its a 24 hour race around Catton park in Derbyshire, but don’t worry I’m not quite mad enough to be doing it solo but will be doing it as part of a 4 man team....
