Roade Pool Sprint Triathlon (27/09/2009)
I did the Roade Pool Sprint Triathlon today. It was my 2nd Sprint distance triathlon and I really enjoyed it. I can see me doing a lot more Triathlons on 2010 I got up at 0615, left my house at 0635 and got to the school at Roade at 0650. I thought I would be [...]
Questars Adventure Race 4 of 4 – 5th September 2009 – Cotswold Hills, Worcstershire
Unfortunately I am going to miss this race because Steve wasn’t sure if he could attend it, due to his current work situation – he might be in Singapore on this date and it’s a bit far to pop back to England just for a race. The upside is that due to puncture issues on [...]
Questars Adventure Race 3 of 4 – 18th July 2009 – Pewsey, North Wiltshire
Another early start as we headed over to St. Francis School, Pewsey in North Wiltshire for round 3 (of 4) of the 2009 Questar’s Adventure Race series. Once again it was a nice location with great scenery and lots of hills! I had forgotten to take my Camelbak with me (I’d left it at home) [...]
Well Whad’ya Know? I’m a Triathlete!
Well I’ve done 1 anyway. As stated in my previous posts, by way of winning a prize in a competition, I got free entry into the For Goodness Shakes! Sponsored Sprint Triathlon (750m swimming, 20km cycling, 5km running) at Dorney Lake, Eton with less than 2 weeks notice! I read the letter carefully which stated [...]
For Goodness Shakes! Sprint Triathlon – it’s tomorrow!
As I mentioned in my previous post, I won free entry into the For Goodness Shakes Sprint Triathlon and was only given 2 weeks notice. So I have been swimming in the Stantonbury 25m swimming pool on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday and discovered that I’m not a great swimmer. In fact I only managed to [...]
Questars Race 2 – 30 May 2009 – Brecon Beacons, South Wales
Race 2 was held in the Brecon Beacons at a slightly different location to the place last year. Last year I competed with Dave in the 5 hour version and Steve did it on his own (6 hour version). This time I teamed up with Steve and we did the Masters trio (6 hours, 3 [...]
Questars Race 1 – 28 March 2009 – New Forest, Hampshire
I entered Race 1 of the 2009 Questars Adventure Race with Steve. We entered the 6 hour Questars Trio format as mens pair team, so it was mountain biking, running and kayaking. The morning started off very cold. I looked around and I was the only person in shorts and t-shirt, so I nipped over [...]
Entered my first 10k Running Event (Bradford 29/03/2009)
I’ve just registered for what will be my first 10k running event. It will be in Bradford on the 29th March. http://www.epilepsy.org.uk/involved/bradford10k.html It’s a long way to go, but my friend Emma is doing it (her first ever running event) so I’m going for moral support
I did it (Adidas Silverstone Half Marathon 2008)!
Yesterday I ran the Adidas Silverstone half marathon in a time of 1:50:59 – which for my first half-marathon I am very happy with! What’s more, I know I could have easily been 5 – 10 mins faster if I wasn’t held up so much at the start by slower runners in front of me.
Running the Adidas Silverstone Half Marathon Tomorrow!
This time tomorrow I will be running my first half-marathon (13.1 miles / 21.098 kilometers). I’m looking forward to it although I do feel a little under-prepared because: I haven’t run 13 miles before (max I have run recently is about 6) I’ve been on a training course for the past week – so no [...]
