Didn't make it to Lakesman long course triathlon this weekend as not ready to tackle the distance. So did my own home tri - a little paddle in dogs pool, a 30mile bike ride for ice cream & coffee with tarmac melting on roads and to finish a little walk with Jango this evening up the lane when cooler. Love summer 😎🔥☀️30c hot hot hot #cycling #paddlingpool #sunnyday #summertime #alternativetriathlon #home #traithlon #lakesman #springerspaniel #dogwalking Outside our bedroom window - this was a tester for the new hayfever tablets But I'm pleased to say this is first hayfever free summer I've had for a long time 😁👍🏼So can be thankful for asthma for one thing !! #hayfever #countryside #grasscutting #summertime #Wiltshire Trying to tame the Dragon Ride and the Welsh weather ! Tough day in the saddle on a tough course. But stunning scenery, great company & organisation was spot on. I'll be back next year already signed up #asthmauk #asthmafundraising #worstweather #wales #cycling #sportive #welshmountains #DragonRide 2017 - Medio route 95miles of Welsh mountains A long and wet day in the saddle as the weather threw everything at us from hail shower at top of Devils Elbow climb, driving rain, freezing cold, gusty wind that blew a couple cyclist over right in front of us. The ascents were slow due to the gradient but the descents were cautious due to wet & slick roads as rivers ran down them. I was soggy and frozen by half way by the end saturated & numb ! But loved the ride and planning to go back next year. Managed to get my hydration, fuel & inhalers right So a solid successful training ride. Great company with Belinda my on course photographer! #ironmantraining #cycling #wales #breconbeacon #welshweather #dragonrider #l'etape #asthmauk #asthmaathlete #worstweather Cotswold 113 - had a bit of fun on the run today 😁🏃🏁 Training run for me as in relay team. Next year I must come and do it solo. Thanks to all Pirates, Chippenham Tri and marshals plus 113 event team Had an Oarsum day 😁😎☠️❤️ thanks to all and the many more supporting Best news asthma behaved today 😁#triathlontraining #asthmaathlete #cotswold113 #cotswolds #running #teamrelay #funrunner #ironmantraining #london🇬🇧 #RTN2017 #womenvcancer We loved the ride so much that we have already signed up for 2018. Highlights were Riding with 3000 awesome women, company of friends old and new, midnight feast at Buckingham Palace, wearing a tutu & fairy lights whilst riding around central London seeing the sights. #cycling #ridethenight #london🇬🇧 #RTN2017 #friends #havefun Ride the Night 2017 Great ride with friends starting from Windsor race track to and through central London. London Eye illuminated in pink for us. 3000 ladies on bikes in tutus & fairly lights what better way to spend a Saturday night. The four of us rode 70 miles together Best location for a feed station to eat cheese sandwiches, flapjack & coffee was outside Buckingham Palace 👸 🇬🇧 #RTN2017 #london🇬🇧 #womenvcancer @womenvcancer Packed & ready for #RTN2017 Pink tutu & fairy lights packed alongside @TrueStartCoffee flapjacks @HIGH5Nutrition gels in @KitBrix #london🇬🇧 #womenvcancer Outlaw Half 2017 finished 😁🏁🍺 First triathlon as an asthmatic, first of the year. Main aim was to finish with a smile and as it happens a friend. It was a tough come back, still got a bleary eye from duck poo & leaky goggles, the wind blew on the bike and the road conditions were atrocious, the run was muddy & hot. Not my worst time but far from my best, room to improve. Need Ventolin inhaler 8 miles into run and through to the finish but it got me through. Slow & steady today. Enjoyed that #Erdinger beer at the finish 🏁🏊🚴🏻‍♀️🏃 ☠️ 🍻🍺#outlawtriathlon #nottingham #outlawhalf #finisher #asthmasucks #asthmauk #asthmafundraising @asthmauk @erdinger.alkoholfrei @erdingeralkoholfrei Concentration, knee out, brakes covered. Taking the inside line on the corner on a hot lap at Castle Combe race track. New wheels test ride & pleased that my lap PB record has dropped by a minute and 15 seconds. Back next Tuesday to make that 90 seconds PB ! #happydays #imhamburg #ironmantraining #cycling #focused #speed #newwheels #feltbicycles #ridehappy #castlecombecircuit Claire & I got our big girl pants & wetsuits on then completed our first open water swim of the season I was so worried about how the cold water would affect my breathing & asthma A little brain freeze to start Only managed 500m Also wore gloves, booties and 4 swim caps including a fetching neoprene bonnet ! #breath #ironmantraining #asthmaathlete #openwater #swimming #firstdip #happydays Inaugural Cadence Events Good Friday 10 miler Wiltshire. Honoured to have bib #1 for the day. Great event - route, marshalls, organisation, Easter egg, scenery & company. Ran with Emma who got quite excited at 9 miles about the EasterEgg at finish. So much better run than last Sunday - I could breath ! Hayfever & asthma better controlled. #asthmasucks #asthmaathlete #10milerun #running #hatehayfever #ironmantraining #breatheasy
