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.

Being a final year student is time consuming but here's 4 sport related things I've been doing this week

The last couple of weeks have been busy but pretty uneventful in triathlon terms. So I've tried to sieve out the boring stuff to update you on what I've been doing. If anyone has anything to say about my training leave some comments here. I'm hoping a bit of feedback from the blog might be able to jump-start my training.

Cheap Gear

Don't get excited this is not a blog about cheap drugs! It's just a quick blog to let you know about a site I've found on tinternet. It's called Sport Pursuit and you may see some budget buys pieces coming soon about stuff I've got from them. It's a site that finds sales and puts them in one place (it's on the website how it actually works). I'm putting this up now because there's some tri stuff on there some of you might be interested in. This includes a Pearl Izumi trisuit that I've just invested in for £39. There's also a slightly more selfish reason for advertising this site. Everytime a new person clicks my link to join up then buys something I get £5 to my account. So click on the link, join up and get buying some bargains... https://www.sportpursuit.com
