Rode 10 miles of ironman Kona championship bike course thanks to new iPad holders on Wattbike at gym. Exploring new sessions online. #offseasontraining #wattbiketraining #wattbike #youtube

Aloha Wattbike HITT bike as warm up for the action at Kona 🌴🍍🥥😎 #ironmanworldchampionship #ironman #ironman40thanniversary #wattbike #offseasontraining #sweatycoconuts

Back on the bike 🚲 😀 Wattbike & Chrissie Wellington RideHarder1 completed. Sweaty as ever 💦 Safest option for hand 🖐 for a while. #audiofuel #wattbike #sweatfest #backonthebike #postironmanrecovery

Wearing my ironman Wales starters tshirt I ran 3 miles of the missed 6 miles that stopped me getting my finishers tshirt & medal. Weather too nice not to run. Wrist strapped & protected. Nice steady 5k out and along bypass so less chanced tripping, Miss Calamity I am. Come back run. All good no more pain than when not running ! #racecheck #visorclub #teamwhite #5krun #injuredhand #swimbikerun #ironman #livewellhavefun #triathlon #womenfortri #asthma #asthmaathlete #swimbikerun #tri365 #running #cycling #swimming #fitat50 #trainsmart #alwaysgiveyourbest #ivegotgoals #coffee #swimsweatandgears

Now the dust has settled, the hand swelling gone down & emotions less raw, my IM Wales DNF race report. Sprint, 70.3 or full distance versions depending on how much time or interest you have ! https://swimsweatandgears.com

Relax it’s Sunday 😀Dogs chilling out, moving from sofa to sofa for an alternative human lap to lounge on. A day to dodge the showers and wind and catch up on trashy TV ! Drying out after our family day out at game fair #springerspaniel #cockerspaniel #workingpets #sundayfunday #relax

Not what I normally see in Wiltshire walking the dog 🐶 Very curious and don’t seem to mind the rain ☔️ #lama #Wiltshire #wetweekend #dogwalk

ironman Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 2018 Registered, packed, racked, reviewed the swim zigzags, carbo loading underway. Ready as I can be. Wrist still sore & swollen but that should take my mind off everything else that hurts on the day ! 🤣😳 #562 #ironmanwales2018 #Tenby #Wales

Oh fook 💩😳🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🐉 It’ll be what it’ll be now ! Saw Chrissie Wellington at Bristol station this morning Asked if she was going to support / watch Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 - I chatted to her for an hour in the run there last year. Said she hoped to be there and was wishing for better weather for all. She wished me luck and said You can do it 😊. Made my day

Cotswold Classic 2018 I have swum & run in relay teams and marshalled this event for many years but this was my first time as a solo finisher of the Classic or 113 event. Boy was it a hot one on course ☀️ Swim - I chose to wear my wetsuit and for the first time had a bit of a bun fight to the first two buoys. Steady swim 38mins Bike - cracking ride for me and only slowed for the loose gravel for about 5 miles, flying on my Felt and loved the speed and lack of traffic. 3:03 with loads Strava PR’s 🥇 Run - well the wheels didn’t just fall off but they melted ! BBQ & dust roads set my asthma off at start of lap 2 which was when I discovered that I’d lost the canister 😳 💨 Friend ran to my tent to collect a spare and I literally had my second wind. 6:40:00 finish. Met Steve who was doing his first ever triathlon and suffering with groin strain & knee pains ( ex rugby player) we agreed to help each other limp, gasp our way through last lap and a half to the finish. When the going gets tough the tough keep going... Many people pulled out due to panic, illness, injury or heat exhaustion. Full respect to all finishers & survivors in the 30c heat. That post finish flop in the lake was the best ! Just a month to ironman Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Still plenty to do but getting back on track. #cotswoldclassic #113events #Middledistance #hotonetoday☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️

Golden summer evening walks with the dog 🐶Sunsets, golden crops and balmy temperatures. Long may it last, although starting to get dark earlier. #summertime #sunsets #countryside #home #goldenhour
