Well if you haven’t heard the news already it looks like I’ve made the cut for the ITU Duathlon in Edinburgh on the 3-5 September 2010. I’ve managed to get a qualification place from the Cambridge duathlon so all was not as bad as I thought. It’s good to have the odd surprise, all I got to do now is book accomadation , pay for the event, pay for kit and get some Baby...

The plan for this event was to try and qualify for GB Age Group ITU. I warmed up for the event by running the Last Friday of the month, Serpentine 5k. I managed to run a 17:37 just a second away from the PB. Then on Saturday I did a small ride as Trisports fitted me with some new Bontrger Aeolus 6.5 aero wheels. In hindsight it was probably a mistake to race with these wheels as they may have...

Sunday the 11th of April 2010 can be remembered as the day Catrin Gwen Ford was baptised at St Mary Church in Walkern. The day was fantasitic and we were lucky with the weather as the children could play in the sun. The morning started with my first duathlon race of the season – The Big Cow Emberton Duathlon 2010. An early start as I had to leave the house by 6am to arrive the event and...

What an eye opening experience ! It was my 2nd time on a MTB Bike and my first was on Saturday on a ride around clwyd. It was a tough race and very technical. Think I was found wanting with my technical skills left at home. I came 44th overall and It was a great day for off road racing in Wales, No Snow, No rain – Perfect ! The race went ahead to schedule and after the 1st leg I had a...

Humm. What was I thinking. First, I went out and got a MTB Bike as training was becoming a pain on the turbo and I wanted some time outside. But as the weather is non permitting due to Ice it is time to try out some off roading. I decided on a mountain hardtail bike to ensure I get the most out of training. The owner of trisports Mic was very helpfull and recommended several different bikes in my...

Well I completed the 2nd race today and shave a massive 2 seconds from my time. Although the conditions were not great for racing and the weather was overcast. Within the bike section we had some hail stones. I even managed to fall off my bike on coming out of T1. Think I should do some practicing to improve that. I seem to be going slower than the rest of the field and may need to concentrate of...
