I’ve been having some bad luck with Apple lately. First the hard drive in my iMac died. I did of course have a back-up so was able to boot from an external drive and continue working and I also had AppleCare cover on it so thought that getting it repaired would be easy. I gave...
The Provisional Results from the Bristol Harbourside Triathlon are out. Click here to download them. So far it is just the finishing times and positions so there aren’t any splits but this is how the people I was with did (In overall order). I’ll update this post later once the full results are out…. [EDIT]...
Just some photos from the Bristol Harbourside Triathlon yesterday thanks to Jay and Anna. Read the full race report here: Bristol Harbourside Triathlon Race Report.
We’ve just got back from a great weekend of racing in Bristol at the 2012 TriBristol Harbourside Triathlon. Organised and run by BADTri and 1 Step Beyond it was a well run event that saw 900 triathletes competing in either a Standard Distance or Sprint Distance triathlon. The Sprint Distance Triathlon had been “chosen by...

Puffles originate from an online Disney game called Club Penguin where children can explore an imaginary icey world through the use of a penguin avatar. It’s a massively multiplayer online...
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...
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...
I do like eating home grown produce and the garden is doing well at the moment. Last night I managed a meal with loads of fruit and veg that we had grown with our own fair hands. It was a bit of a mix and match meal as I grabbed it after a circuit training...
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. I wanted to do a race in or around Bristol again this year so that Brad, Mike and possibly Jay could join in again, but having done the Wotton...
That weekend didn’t quite go as well as planned. Most things were fine. Friday evenings MTB ride with the Scouts went well. Despite the torrential rain all day long it stopped just before we set off and we had a good ride around the Pendam Trail. I was then off on a rifle shooting tutors...
