Hydration / Nutrition Calculator

I’ve just taken delivery of a load of energy drinks, recovery drinks and gels from Pacific Health as part of a freebie for subscribing to a magazine.

Barometric Altimeter Sensor Hole on Foreunner 910XT 3

Faulty Altimeter on Garmin Forerunner

I’d hoped that after the tumble drier stopped working, the microwave blew up, the septic tank pump failed and the Hard Drive in my computer failed that we had seen the end of expensive things breaking – We can’t afford to replace anything else.

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 1

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...

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.
