Triathlons
Took part in my second Woodley 10k (previous 2011 finish time 51.38) . Ably supported by Stuart on his bike and the boys cheering I managed a faster time of 50.13 so very pleased. Joined at 5k mark by another “oldie” and we ran side by side all the way until I had a short […]
After the disappointment of having to miss the Sevenoaks Tri the week before it was great to be fit and well enough to do the Tonbridge Standard for the second year. I was first competitor to arrive at the venue (probably should have had another half hour in bed!) and was one of the first […]
Since my return from Spain over a week ago I have been laid low with a dreaded flu like virus. No training for sometime now and I still have a cough and fever. Guess what?! My first Triathlon at Sevenoaks is only a week away. This happened last year when I had to scratch from […]
I did my first 5k Park Run today. www.parkrun.org.uk/maidstone/ These runs are nationwide and attract runners of all abilities.

It’s been a long time since my last triathlon post when I had to back out the London Tri because of illness. Well, what has happened since? I didn’t do a Time Trial in October but I have given the new bike a good runout on the new Cyclo Park at Gravesend a few times. […]

After a good season I am disappointed that an early autumn heavy cold and cough has meant me pulling out of the London Triathlon tomorrow. However, I will give my new tri bike a run out in a Time Trial in October in readiness for next year’s busy season. Having qualified for the Euros inTurkey […]
