Worthing Triathlon 2010

We started our trip to Worthing with a extra hour stuck on the M25. When we arrived at Worthing we did a quick investigation of the area. As I had already booked a table at fishworks for 7pm I registered early to enable me to get another valued 20 mins in bed on Sunday morning. our meal was fantastic and Delyth and I shared a fish platter that was great value for money. The children also had...

Grendon Sprint 2010

Grendon Sprint 2010

Well the first triathlon of the season and a very cold start. The weather was 10 degrees celcius but apparently the water was 14 degrees – what a bonus. The swim was not the best and although I picked a good line I got beaten up a bit and didn’t swim to plan. My stroke was a bit of a mess, the exit was good and I managed a quick change and run to the bike. Here again I wasn’t...

An early start as I had to leave the house by 6am to arrive the event and...

Butlins (That’s the bike behind the car)

On our way to Butlins we had some things we needed from Boots and Halfords before heading to Minehead. We visited Boots and got Catrin a swim costume, we then proceeded to Halfords to get some Tyre Levers for the bike as I had left my bike bag in Trisports.  My thought was that I could pick these up quicker than going to Letchworth. Big Bad Mistake, Del was driving and I was in the passenger...
