Without question my favourite meal of the day is breakfast. I go through phases, but cereal will always be a winner in my book! Sometimes I even make it that little bit more interesting, like today, apres-swim.
The bag’o peas were not for eating may I add
My first full week of training here in California is done. It’s been a busy week. But I think I have got back on track in terms of swim, bike and crucially, run. I have been struggling with a niggly pain in my lower leg for a few weeks now – ‘I am running, I’m not [...]
I just read about this, and wanted to post on it. I didn’t know who Shane was, didn’t follow his exploits at all, but am sad to learn that such an obvious talent, such a master of his craft, has passed away. Below is a simply fantastic snippit of the amazing skills these athletes have:
I had my first longer ride for quite some time today; 4+ hours…… it has been a good month or more since I crept into those digits. South Africa seems many moons ago! Faced with a choice of bike now (it’s a tough life) I opted for my AR1 (again!) as I am really loving [...]
There is a lady who comes every lunchtime to walk the dog – Harely – who justifies a post all to himself some time, but anyway, it was only yesterday that I actually met said lady, given I am usually out training – and I HAD to take a picture of her car. As I [...]
I don’t want to go on and on about this, but me getting these new bikes is way cool!! So, I am showing you MORE pictures of them – now as the finished articles. Well, not quite, since I need some tubs to go on the race wheels for the TT bike….but i’m not racing [...]
I headed down to the bike shop this afternoon to have a proper look at my new framesets, and generally get excited about all the new stuff! I should have at least one of them ready to ride (and show you) tomorrow. But for now, have a look….
I’m like a very big kid at Christmas right now …. but I have dragged myself away to post a quick blog! Shimano have very kindly agreed to supply me with all things bicycle for this season, through my bike sponsor, Felt. Today I was given A LOT of kit – most if is in [...]
Today I raced an olympic distance event in Miami. Non drafting. I finished 8th place in 1.52.16. It was a tough day at the office as they say, but a solid start to the year in the Northern Hemisphere.
I’m just back in the door from checking out my bike with the race wheels on – before I head down to the race site for briefing and bike racking etc etc. I was offered a shot of a Zipp 1080 front wheel to race on from one of the members of the tri club [...]
This morning I decided to skip the visit to the pool in favour of a splash in the open water. I don’t often swim in the sea – the only time I did it during the whole 3 months I was away in South Africa was to actually race. (When I say swim; I mean [...]
I was out on the bike course for the Miami International Triathlon yesterday evening, and I came up behind a group of guys, which prompted me to take a picture, cos you just wouldn’t see it in many other places I doubt!! It is after all only March.
Today Blair and I visited one of my best friends – Mike, who I haven’t seen since September – as he and Jenni have had a new addition to the family. Littel Isobel. Last time I say Mike and Jenni they told me they were expecting…. and all of a sudden 6 months has blown by. [...]
I got up this morning for swimming to a view out of the window which showed white white white; the snow was here once again. I didn’t get out on the mtb, and neither did Blair (today), but he did the other week when the snow was last on the ground. - A bit of a difference to the [...]
