Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
You know me, I spend just as much time recording my training data as I do actually training. By the time I upload it to Garmin Connect, Strava and Triblogs and import it into Rubitrack, I’ve barely got time to actually analyse it! I also have to add it to my excel training diary that...
My turbo training schedule had me doing an FTP test on Monday courtesy of TrainerRoad. These tests are always hard, so I guess it was my punishment for such a pig out at the pudding party on Sunday. This was the third time I’d done such a test so I’m getting used to them now but...
After such a pig out yesterday I thought it was time to get back into it step up the training and burn off some of the calories! Last week was a recovery week so a fairly easy week for me with 2 rest days! Here’s my training diary: This meant that I was fairly well...
I’m beginning to get my race schedule ready for 2013. I’m not planning on doing a huge raft of races this year for a number of reasons. First is the fact that last year was quite a long season with races from the 1st April right through to the big race at the World Championships in...
Being a freelance website designer may mean that I have a distinct lack of disposable income – in fact sometimes it means I have a complete lack of income let alone that of a disposable nature – but it does mean that I can work, rest and play to my own schedule rather than being tied...
As you may know, my performance at the Rother Valley Triathlon last year meant that I qualified to compete for Team GB in the European Age-Group Triathlon Championships this year. After having such a good time in New Zealand at the World Champs, I wasn’t going to pass up on another opportunity for some travel...
Turbo Trainer throughout the winter can become a little dull (although I quite enjoy it!). So, to spice things up I’ve been following one of the TrainerRoad training plans. The plans themselves are OK, although by necessity they are a little generic. That’s fine at this time of year for me though as I’m only really doing...
Another night and yet another Christmas meal, a curry this time in the Taj Mahal in Machynlleth with the Cerist Triathlon Club. I’m not actually a member of the club but I do know lots of them and train with them on a Sunday morning so decided to head along to their Xmas dinner. The...
Seeing as I wrote a year in review for 2011 I thought I’d better do it for 2012 as well. 2012 was really my first full year training for and competing in triathlons, and what a year it was. I now had a coach, all the gear and was a man with a plan –...
My last triathlon, which I did about a month ago was the big climax to the year. It was the World Championships in Auckland that I had been working towards all year. It had been a long year of racing and training and when I crossed the finish line ‘finished’ was the operative word –...
