Gav and Will are in D.C, Dan is in Arkansas (i think?) and Conrad is in hospital in Richmond.
Blair is back up North (and on the longest w/e in Scotland that means very little darkness which is really cool) in Inverness ready to hit the Highland Cross tomorrow morning. He’s been training regular enough and is [...]
Another weekend of summer and another weekend rammed full of racing – gottaloveracing!
The football season has finished and Wimbledon or the Ashes haven’t yet begun, so what is a sportsdesk to do?
Why, donate a whole page to a minority sport!
I was back page of Doug Gillon today, which is a great bit of publicity for me, and triathlon as a whole here in Scotland.
I sometimes worry that Nikola has a little too much time on his hands, and one of his latest posts over on the team site seems to feed fuel to that particular fire! Have a look at triathlonteam.org for the others!
After the early morning swim here in Stirling ( 21*100s on the 1.15/1.20 cycle broken) I wolfed the cereal, had a run up and around the uni, and somehow fitted in a visit to physiofocus before heading up the road to Aberdeen. The weather here at the moment really is superb, and I apologise (only a [...]
Blair turned 24 yesterday; and he had to light his own candles. You’re never too old for cake though – especially chocolate cake! However he wasn’t so impressed with the candles which wouldn’t go out though – like fireworks so they were….
….to think of anything meaningful to blog about. However I will push on regardless and see where it goes.
I’m back in Stirling, or as we have affectionately named it since the Lord Of The Rings trilogy – The Shire – and I’m back into my staple bread and butter sessions. I’m feeling much much more settled already due to that. As much as it is great being in places like California and Florida, [...]
Between loading the bike onto the car this morning at 5.30 for an early morning swim/bike session and realising at 5.45 on the Interstate Highway that it was no longer on the bike rack…
I had my road bike stolen.
I know that nobody died and that is only equipment, BUT I am still very much gutted [...]
Nikola has put together a great new website (a few months in the process) linking all of our sites that he designs and manages – including South African Xterra machines Conrad and Dan, Irish literature genius Gavin, continental euro’s Dejan, Aleksandar, Igor and of course – mine. Check it out at triathlonteam.org
The essential online triathlon resource that [...]
My and Toby Jameson (my solo partner in crime out here since Julie ‘Dibs’ Dibens - or Deeeedens as they say out here - has cracked a rib and declined to join the gang this time around) got out and did a little bicycling this morning. I think I found the joke a little funnier than he [...]
I arrived in Florida later on last night, happy to step off the plane to yet another warm climate. Spoilt … that’s what I have become!
I’ve been racking up the miles; the Felt(s) and I have become much better friends over the past 10 days, which is no bad thing. The running still isn’t happening – but I am aiming for shuffling along once more by this w/e, providing the physio gives me the go ahead.
….Pancakes.
It would be safe to say that they rank up there in my top five favourite foods, I just try not to eat them too often, for I know I will end up wanting them everyday – especially here in the States. I’d just tucked away a solid 5k swim with the masters swim squad in [...]
There is a really good slide show of the race on the Triathlete home page. I am in there a few times, plus there is a short video recap too. The pictures are at Triathlon.Competitor.com and the video is here:
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 [...]
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. [...]
The South African experience is drawing to a close. This time next week it will be ‘this way to depatures’.
I’ve not really got too much to report I am afraid this week, so I thought I would simply add some pictures (click on the pictures and the little ‘i’ to get my informed captions) of the last few weeks whilst Blair was here – mostly pictures from his camera. I did do a running race during the [...]
