Jolly Fit

Another morning of racing with Chichester Triathlon Club at the Southwater Relays. Really happy with under the hour with a few niggles and very little training.
The rain just about stayed away and was great to see so many of the clubs coaches able to compete.
My team managed 3rd in category too 🙂

A very long day yesterday!
Up early to get to Brighton for both kids to race the Brighton & Hove Triathlon
Both had great comebacks after a tough swim for 3rd and 7th places.
Then straight up to Crawley for the last athletics meet of the season where they did long jump, 100m, 1500m and a relay!
All tired but am very proud of their efforts.

The summer holidays are coming to an end and we will soon be back into routines with shorter, colder days looming but I am looking forward to new opportunities and ways to offer more coaching to more people.

Long weekend at Mallory Park in Leicestershire for the British Triathlon Inter-Regional Championships. Saturday had individual races (in the rain), Sunday had a Transition challenge and mixed relays (in sunshine)

Nate came 2nd in his heat, then 5th in the Individual final. 13th male (1st in age group) for the Transition Challenge. Then maintained first place for his team to win the mixed relays, contributing to our region - South East Triathlon Academy winning overall!

Summer holiday fun at Legoland. Apparently it’s been open 30 years but it was my first time. We managed 13 rides and had a great day out.

Athletics coaching with thankfully we avoided the rain (listen to the thunder on the last slide!)

Popped over to Itchen Valley Country Park to get out and stretch our legs. Walked around the trails, kids ran and played, enjoying the peace and shade of the trees.

Well worth a visit

Last TT of the season tonight so I thought I would dust off my bike and have a go too. I think it’s been around 15 years since I last tried a time trial.
Very happy with my time, Strava says it’s my fastest ever by 1:26! Even more importantly - I beat the kids 💪🏻. Average speed of 37.3kph

Helping out the juniors this evening while the eclipse started. Was a bit eerie……
