Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
The Trip to London We weren’t having a ‘proper’ family holiday this year as we couldn’t afford it following our holiday of a lifetime to New Zealand last year. Instead we were once again combining our holiday with me competing in the ITU Age-Group World Triathlon Championships which were in London this year. It wasn’t even going to be...
The day was upon us, Friday the 13th and it was grey and drizzly. We were in London for the ITU Age-Group World Triathlon Championships and I was racing in the 40-44 year old Sprint Distance race. Training had been going well and I had managed a whole season of good quality, consistent training. I hadn’t raced...
Well, here we go again, another big race. This time its the World Age-Group Triathlon Championships in London and am I ready? Well, only time will tell but as per usual I feel far from ready! Far from ready to leave the house as we haven’t even thought about packing yet Far from ready for...
The summer is drawing to an end, and I’m looking forward to a bit of a rest from hard core structured triathlon training too. The last couple of sessions have felt fairly autumnal and there is definitely a change in the air. I was out swimming in Aberystwyth yesterday evening in what turned out to be glorious conditions. It...
Thought I’d better post here to let you know how my preparations for the Age-Group World Championships are going – We have less than 4 weeks left until race-day so there’s less than available for improvement than you think there is! After the European Champs in Turkey back in June (where I won in my...
We had a busy day yesterday full of all sorts of things. Triathlon Training in the morning, followed by beekeeping in the afternoon. I started my day nice and early, had breakfast, did a few bits of work on the computer and then headed off to Machynlleth where I met Owain at 7:30am for a...
With only 4 weeks to go until the Triathlon World Championships in London it’s almost time to start some speedwork in my training. I have until now been doing mainly strength and endurance work and building up my overall fitness. it’s also time to start working on some race specific training such as Brick session....
The Aberdovey Triathlon was never in my race schedule for this year, but last weekend at swim training I was asked by the organiser if I’d be kind enough to help someone out and do the swim section of the race for them. They wanted to race but didn’t feel comfortable enough in open water so...
What better way to start the day than a hill-reps induced endorphin rush! A 50 minute hilly run was on the training plan and seeing as it is a 20 minute run to the nearest hills I usually drive to the foot of them and run from Borth. My car is in the garage being...
As someone who has represented Team-GB in a sport and competed on an international level, I had been invited to attend the 2013 Ceredigion Sports Awards. These were held yesterday in Aberaeron to recognise sporting achievements across Ceredigion. Billed as the ‘International Awards Presentation’ there were 23 people being presented with awards. Anna and I decided...
