Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Yep, that’s right, we’ve now had a whole week of summer – amazing I know, but true. It wasn’t quite so hot yesterday with temperatures only just topping 20°C at 20.3°C here, but that was just about perfect, especially with a light cooling breeze. Unfortunately for me there wasn’t a huge amount of time to...
I’m in the paper again this week. That’s two weeks, possibly three, in a row. Shame there’s no sign of a celebrity lifestyle to go with it!
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...
This glorious weather that we are having makes such a difference. Everyone seems happier and this part of Wales is seen in its best light. It’s just a shame we all have to work and go to school. So, in order to make the most of it I was up early yesterday so that I...
I made it into the sports pages of the Cambrian news again. Last year it was thanks to the fact that I competed in the World Triathlon Championships in Auckland, New Zealand. This time it was thanks to winning the gold medal at the European Triathlon Championships. It was a bit of a family affair this week...
Hooray, Summer finally arrived yesterday, but it took its time coming. We had a busy day ahead of us so my day started at 5am with a bike ride. Nothing too exciting, just a couple of time around the Borth Loop, with a 14 mile Time Trial effort thrown on for good measure. Unfortunately the sun...
Aberdovey may only be a mile from here as the crow flies, but it’s about an hour away by car so we don’t go there that often. However, it was the Boardwsie Demo day in Aberdovey at the weekend, Cerist Tri Club were doing an open water swim from Aberdovey, Anna’s Mum was here, and we...
It’s been a week since I got back from the European Age-Group Champs in Alanya, Turkey. I’m now back in the UK after an amazing trip. I booked my travel independently through Thomas Cook and boy am I glad that I did. Those that booked through the BTF’s preferred travel partner Nirvana had loads of...
The final day was upon me and I think I was the only Brit left in town. Everyone else seemed to be Turkish or German and there were very few triathletes left as Alanya recovered from hosting the 2013 European Triathlon Championships. I had to check-out of the hotel by midday so after the biggest...
