Half Iron Shakey
Sometimes we have people that come into our life for a reason. Sometimes they are special, really, really special. Three weeks after completing our Half Ironman Shakey has eventually managed to type a race report using both of her thumbs and her nose to operate the space bar. It is understandable that she took so long [...]
Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )Over the hump…..
With only three weeks to go now and with the hardest training weeks behind me I feel like I have metaphorically gone “over the hump”. There is still a lot to be done in the coming weeks to keep everything ticking over and to try to stay something like an ideal race weight (to be honest [...]
Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )Summer at last!
As forecast, the weekend has left me puggled. Work ended up being even busier than I thought – I took a rest day on Friday (from training) and worked through to just after 2am; I was up at 630am and out for a 7 hour ride; back at work from 3pm through to 2am, home for a [...]

Apparently amongst the young folks and spacebookers TMI stands for too much information and that is exactly what you are in for. I can guarantee that this post will include far too much information and a fine dose of self-pity. Last week has left me feeling like the bloke that had a blind date with a [...]
Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )It’s been far too long.
I am pretty sure when I made my last post that I said I would be updating the blog more regularly. Sheer naivety on my part! It turns out that combining being a dad, training like a demented monkey and my budding career as a serious sports writer stretches even my multi-skilling to the max. I literally [...]

Project Regensburg now has 70 days to go which means that I have 7 weeks of hard training and 3 weeks of taper to go. The taper is really just another name for a rest - there is a science to it where you steadily reduce training volume but maintain the training intensity but the reality for [...]
Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )I’m back……
After a short sabbatical to enjoy Rory’s first few weeks I have eventually decided to come back to the blog. After all the pitying looks that I got when I proposed my theory that a baby’s arrival wouldn’t really impact my training plan I can finally admit they were right and I was wrong. It [...]
Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )No, it’s not here yet.
I can’t work out whether I am getting more exercise just now from training or from answering the question “Any sign of the baby yet?”. So I am posting it on the internet to make sure that I let everyone know – it’s not here yet and doesn’t appear to be in any rush to [...]

Oops. Not sure what has happened to my weekly update. Anyway, here is a bumper fortnight’s update – hopefully next week I’ll get back on to a weekly blogging cycle and then we’ll be all tickety-boo. First of all, lets get Geek Spot and March out of the way. As a headline March has been a great [...]

This may be a short update since I am only updating a wee bit of a week. Building work has not progressed but we have official confirmation that the building warrant has been approved so work will start a week tomorrow. So, there will be no photos of the work, however, there remains a high risk [...]
