Posted on September 6, 2016 by lord_lordy

I transferred my entry from Ironman UK to Ironman Weymouth and with hindsight I’m so glad I did. Following Ironman Texas I enjoyed a lovely walking holiday in The Lake District and then had great fun at Engadin Swim Run … Continue reading →

Posted on May 13, 2016 by lord_lordy

I’ve been in two minds about writing this. I’ve been enjoying my training this year and intentionally just been keeping what I’m doing pretty much to myself not wanting the pressure that can come from being too open on social … Continue reading →

Posted on September 11, 2015 by lord_lordy

Two days ahead of the race and very very relaxed. All because I’m still completely undecided about racing. To be clear my brain is decided and my heart is decided but unfortunately they’re not in agreement. BRAIN SAYS Absolutely bonkers … Continue reading →

Ironman Florida 2013, Preview

Posted on October 28, 2013 by lord_lordy

This race has rather crept up on me. It’s race week already and I’ve not even thought about checking my bike or packing. Other things have rather taken precedence which isn’t a bad thing. I love racing and training for … Continue reading →
