Wales Day 3

Day 3 in Wales - bit of running (showing the Welsh how it's done 👑), cycled the scenic part of Ironman through to Angle (which is honestly so stunning), lots of sunbathing and finally finishing off with a few laps swimming from the harbour to Goscar Rock and back. Fantastic!

Wales Day 2

Day 2 in Wales - cycled the Ironman course (just the big lap), had a little swim in the sea and sunbathed waaaaay to much for a 'training' holiday! Honestly couldn't have picked a better week. Just what I've been needing to escape and recharge!

Wales Day 1

So I've taken a trip to Wales to recce out the Ironman course - the build up was awful, the weather has looked to be absolutely terrible and even on the drive in it's been pretty awful.

However...

Up The Odda - 6th Place

Last minute into the Up The Odda race after a couple from Lakers pulled out.

It's a bloody tough course. Like insanely tough. 10k over 2 loops with the end hill being an absolutely brutal 40% gradient with 3 stiles.

As I said, tough!

Leicester Victoria Parkrun

Back in Leicester this weekend and decided to do the Leicester Victoria Parkrun this time rather than my 'local' Braunstone Parkrun which is now a pretty awful course since it's been changed...

Manchester Marathon - Sub 3 Hours and GFA!

Where to start? To sub 3 a marathon has to be the aim of most semi-serious runners, and I've finally, finally done it!

3 Lakers ventured to Manchester today: myself, Rikki and Paul. Out of the 3 of us, I'm the only one of us to have ever ran a marathon before so I basically was the only one who had any idea what I was letting myself in for!

Bramley Falls Tag Team Race 2018

Me and Abbie paired up for the Bramley Falls Tag race today - 4 5k laps, 2 a piece across muddy trails.
