Ithaca
October 9, 2009
When you set out on your journey to Ithaca,
pray that the road is long,
full of adventure, full of knowledge.
The Lestrygonians and the Cyclops,
the angry Poseidon — do not fear them:
You will never find such as …
Countdown to Kona!
October 7, 2009
I absolutely love being in here in Kona. It’s the smell of the beautiful hibiscus flowers, the sound of the ocean lapping against the rocks, the pods of dolphins jumping like they don’t have a care in the world, the …
Timberman, TYR Turds and Twister
August 28, 2009
The website blurb reads – “The Timberman Triathlon Festival… where small town charm meets world-class fun!” Last years experience didn’t disappoint and I couldn’t wait to return to New Hampshire, and Ellacoya State Park, for a full weekend of fun …

June 19, 2009

Learning the lessons
May 19, 2009
We all have expectations for ourselves, in training, in racing and in life in general. But what happens when we don’t meet those expectations. When, in our minds at least, we have performed badly and in some way ‘failed’? I …
Summitting the Big E
April 24, 2009
One of my closest friends, Billi Bierling (who i have known since my time in Nepal and shared many a bonkers adventure with) is currently on an expedition to summit the mighty Mt Everest, from the Nepali (south) side. I …
