Non Smart Goals

Posted on October 6, 2011 by lord_lordy

It’s so nice when you’re the recipient of an immensely thoughtful gesture. I have experienced that today when I found the above left at reception for me. This is some super duper caffeine and guarana lanzarote booster fuel. I first … Continue reading →

Posted on October 5, 2011 by lord_lordy

Today is my rest day so I decided to do a little test swim in my new Oomph! race kit. They’ve done me proud with a great two piece tri suit with the EverydayTraining logo on it. Some neat features … Continue reading →

Parade Of Nations

Posted on October 4, 2011 by lord_lordy

I love The Parade Of Nations at Kona. I think it’s amateurishness of it that I love. People get together behind their nations flag, they try to march in alphabetical order by nationality but normally it’s not quite right. A … Continue reading →

Everyday Training

Posted on October 4, 2011 by lord_lordy

Todays picture is one of the few “landmarks” on the Queen K – I’ve passed it numerous times over the years and it never fails to make me smile. Today has been an absolute classic Kona day, the sort that … Continue reading →

Hawi and Back

Posted on October 2, 2011 by lord_lordy

Arrival In Klagenfurt

Posted on June 30, 2011 by lord_lordy

I travelled down here with Paul having decided nearly a year a go that a road trip would be fun and less stressful than packing up bikes for a flight. He collected me from my sisters in London at 6:30pm … Continue reading →

Wanaka

Posted on January 13, 2011 by lord_lordy

Thats the view from our balcony. This is one BEAUTIFUL part of the world. Can’t believe it’s taken me four visits to New Zealand to get down here. The Challenge Wanaka organisers really take care of their pro’s – they’ve … Continue reading →

Mount Cook

Posted on January 11, 2011 by lord_lordy

With the cancellation of Epic Camp Jo and I decided to a little road trip down to Wanaka for the race and then have a small holiday afterwards. We had thought of doing our own little Epic Camp but without … Continue reading →

Busso Pre Race

Posted on December 3, 2010 by lord_lordy

It’s become a little bit of a habit now to post up a picture of my bike ready to go. Only needs it’s race number on and it’s ready. I’m feeling nervous about this race which is normally a good … Continue reading →
