Ok, it was around 4 days ago that I went with Dee to Jacob’s ladder. As I’ve recounted to you, she went up and down with her backpack no less than 20 times in just under 2hrs. I think I did around 25 ascents but I had no backpack on. I am just waddling around [...]

Well, surely the two most exciting events have occurred in the last few days. The first is that we have a Dome Coffee shop in Canning Vale now that has just open 100m away from home. That’s just manna from heaven. The second is my Gravity Zero wheelset. Thanks to Mike Aviet for the opportunity [...]

As we draw closer to Ironman WA it’s incredible to think there are 1200 individual competitors at Busselton Western Australia on 7 December for this epic event. There are also 72 teams of which our team, Three’s Company, is but one.
Tonight, I worked hard on my running with Front Runner. There are so many good [...]

It’s now only 4 weeks to Busselton Ironman WA. Friday night was Casa Del Amici, a little Italian restaurant just up the road from us, with some friends. Sat AM I met up with around a dozen ‘Cool Runners’ at the south end of Mt Henry Bridge for a 5km time trial anticlockwise to the [...]

Last night was a tough grind on the bike into a south westerly. A guy from work, Mark, shared the work with me and took the edge of what would have been a very tough ride. Today, I met up with some ‘Cool Runners’ at Deepwater Point and did a 5km run in 22mins. This [...]

On Friday 31 October I went along after work to do the John Gilmour 10K track run. My aim was to do this in 45min (my ultimate aim is to run distance in 4min/km pace but I’m a way off that at present)
I got to Coker Park near Carousel and registered. I met up with [...]

The weekend involved a fair bit of training with a fair bit of Spring cleaning. On Saturday, our BFSR group detoured from the Narrows to Fremantle for a coffee stop then down Marmion St and back to Canning Vale. I think we’d done around 80kms instead of our usual 60kms and it was a sensible [...]

Ok, not a big fan of losing 1hr of daylight after tonight. I’m sure a lot of athletes feel the same. Today’s cycle was around 80kms and we had a few ‘Golden Spokes’ entrants for tomorrows event at Champion Lakes in Armadale. Some of the guys were going on for yet another 70kms of cycling. Phew!! I’ll [...]

I write not of my own but of others who deserve recognition for their efforts against considerable obstacles. Today, I went for a 7.5km jog around Deepwater Pt circuit then on to drop Dee at Jacob’s Ladder and on to do 2 x 10km laps of the Bridges. On my second of these laps I [...]

Its been a week and last night I entered the Painathlon. Check out the www.painathlon.com website. Its very well done and easy to follow (unless you’re competing in it, then its very painful to follow!) But I guess, if it was fun, it would be a funathlon!
 Anyway, this weekend, the Pinjarra cyclosportif 75km ride is [...]
