Ed Brindley Award for Random Athletic Achievement #1

To get a few more interesting posts going I thought I'd start handing out my own awards. They mean absolutley nothing and the prize is nonexistent but I'm sure they'll be a coveted award soon and will overtake the sports personality of the year any day now. So the inaugral Ed Brindley Award for Random Athletic Achievement goes to...

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

My last post was about how I was gonna start up the blog and post regularly but I haven't. I've been really busy over the last few weeks and it's been a bit of a difficult time as I've come to the end of my life at uni. I'd say sorry but fortunately no one reads these posts anyway! Luckily I have managed to fit in a couple of races so here's how they've gone...

Getting Back On Track... Well The Road

It's been a long time since I've written one of these but it's about time I did. One of the reasons I started this blog was to motivate myself into regular training, something that's been non existent in recent months. So I'm starting up the old blog to get my training back on track and get me out on the road running as it's only just over a month away till my first event of the year, the Chester half marathon.

End of Season

Nights come early, the weathers cold and winters here. It's the end of the triathlon season. At the end of the year I'll probably reflect on how it all went. But for now, here's a quick summary of how I think my first season in triathlon has gone.

Bluebell Duathlon Relay

Crossing the finish line

On Saturday my dad and I completed our first duathlon. It was a small charity event at the Bluebell Inn in Farnah Green, Derbyshire. Dad, despite being a keen cyclist, hasn't entered many competitions in the past, so I'm glad he agreed to do it. All his falls and metal hip/elbow has made him cautious of pushing himself too much in case he comes off again (as he should be). So Saturday morning and I'm up before 7 for the first time in a while getting ready for the 9am start. Dad being Dad decided to cycle to the event saying it'd be a good warm up. I passed on running there and got a lift off my step-sis Mel, cheers Mel.
