Well yesterday, Sunday 3rd February saw my first event of 2008, I competed in the Chase Duathlon race series, held in Cannock Chase this event is one of a series of 3 to be held over the next couple of months, each time the distances increase but follow the same format of an off road run, road cycle, off road run.
I had a great day and really enjoyed the race coming home in 1 hour 29 minutes, the weather was freezing and very windy on the bike, we were up at 4am to make the journey, although we were the first one’s there it had the advantage of making sure we were the first to use the portaloos!! Photos will appear on the website gallery soon, meanwhile keep checking for event updates and results from all the Tri-Harder athletes, the season is off to a great start and I know several people competing over the next few weeks so I will keep everyone updates with their news.
Well January is plodding along quite nicely, hope your training goes well, my spinning classes in John Bright have started and taken off really well, check out the forum for times etc. We have now received our confirmed entry into the ” 3 Peaks Yacht Race” which is really exciting, we will be sailing “Still Smiling” a Sigma 400 out of Conwy, we have a great crew and it looks to be really competitive and an experience to savour. Finally we have started to advertise our Bungalow in Nerja, Costa del Sol now available to rent for your holiday or warm weather training, ideal for a family holiday, or take your bike is is fantastic cycling, check out www.mynerjavilla.com
Happy New Year to everyone, I hope you had a really great time over the holidays, I managed to get some great mountain biking done in Llandegla forrest a must if you live in the North west or North Wales, totally freezing and wet - fantastic better than the M6 anyday!
2008 looks to be a great year, I have a place in Ironman Florida and will be competing here as well as throughout the UK during the year, I will kepp the blog updated with results of these and for all tri-harder members, let’s have a great year. Best wishes Colin
Well Christmas is nearly upon us. I guess everyone is already thinking of 2008 and what it means for them, whether it it just to start your health and fitness programme, kick-start your training again or maybe something bolder? and event you have in mind? whichever fits you enjoy the festive period with your loved ones, life is indeed too short for housewine but be careful, moderation is key, try to get some exercise in and keep hydrated it makes so much difference. Let’s train hard in 2008, very hard.. Best wishes and enjoy - Colin
Well at last here it is my much awaited personal training site that so many people have encouraged me to launch during 2007, my hopes are that you will become a member of Tri-Harder and work towards acheiving your own specific goals as I have acheived mine. For the remainder of 2007 I will continue to work on the site’s launch as well as keeping up my own training, 2008 is very exciting for many reasons not least I am looking forward to working with so many new people and sharing my experience and ideas with them, enjoy the site. Colin
