Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
I still feel silly calling myself an athlete, even if it is a triathlete, but I’ve been fairly fortunate lately and have been feeling almost like a real one. Things have been quiet on the work front – quiet enough so as to have some financial worries – but on the plus side it has meant that there...
As promised in my Cotswold Triathlon Race Report here are a few photos from the event thanks to my Brother Jay and my Dad. You can see Jay’s entire album on Flickr. The official Photos are here: http://chrisyoungphotos.co.uk/group9299.html
Having missed my first race of the year I’d been looking forward to the Cotswold Sprint Triathlon for quite a while. Looking forward to it maybe, but although it wasn’t an important race there were still the usual pre-race doubts. These weren’t helped by the fact that I didn’t sleep a single wink the night...
Yep, I’m competing in a triathlon race on Sunday so it’s time for some Club Colour Competition Cuticles and a nice alliterative blog post too. The race is the Cotswold Triathlon but I couldn’t quite get the word ‘Cotswolds’ into the title as well. I don’t know about the rest of my body but at least my...
With just one week to go to what is now my first race of the season it’s time that I was getting into race-shape. I’m not quite there yet though but the Cotswold Super Sprint Triathlon next weekend isn’t an A-priority race, just a bit of a practise race before I head off to Turkey...
Open water swim season has officially started again for me… A little later than usual and I’m not sure if that’s because it’s been an unseasonably cold Spring or just that I’m getting soft as I age. However, with a race that includes an open water swim looming in less than 2 weeks I was determined...
Sunday was a nice busy day for us – just for a change! As usual it started fairly early for me at around 6am when I got up, checked e-mails etc. and had some breakfast before heading off to Machynlleth in Anna’s Fiat 500 hire car for a run. My planned session was a fairly easy one...
It’s good to see that some companies do in fact listen to their customers. I had a little moan a few days ago about the sudden changes to the Garmin Connect Calendar, and I wasn’t the only one unhappy with the updates. Thankfully it looks as though they have listened to our complaints and have...
I’m not impressed with the new Garmin Connect updates. The calendar part of their online offerings used to be one of the best as far as at a glance viewing of your training was concerned. They had lovely colour coding of different activity types, a brief overview of each of your activities and a weekly...
After 5 days with some sort of lurgy that never really came to anything I’ve just done my first training session. 5 days without training may not sound like much, but it was actually 6 days as the day before I started feeling ill was a rest day and to me it seems like ages....
