What To Wear On Your Bike

What To Wear On Your Bike

We’re called Veggie Runners for a reason. We’re good at running. Cycling, not so much but we’re getting there. The soggy-bottomed bike ride has always been the trickiest bit of triathlon for us and we’ve written before about the uncomfortable feeling of being the only woman on the road at times. Thankfully clever Halfords Cycling have…

First Olympic Triathlon – Nailed It!

First Olympic Triathlon – Nailed It!

I completed my first Olympic Distance triathlon – The Cleveland Short Course – last weekend. I had a (mostly) marvellous time and I am so happy I womanned-up and took the plunge. The Practice Swim My main reservation about the triathlon was the open water swim – having not had a chance to ever practice, I…

To Tri and Fail, or not Tri at All?

To Tri and Fail, or not Tri at All?

I am currently contemplating my first ever DNS at a race. This would be a first for me – I’ve had tantrums by the side of the road in a marathon, I’ve nearly been sick during a half, and I’ve slogged myself ragged and missed my target time by 17 measly seconds in a 10K….

How to Survive Your First Triathlon – Transitions, Wibbly Legs and Soggy Bottoms

How to Survive Your First Triathlon – Transitions, Wibbly Legs and Soggy Bottoms

It’s official – not only have I caught the triathlon bug, but I’ve press-ganged my little mama and our friend Rose into the madness, too.

Triathlon: Done!

Triathlon: Done!

I did my first triathlon and I absolutely loved it. I wish I could do it again right away, so I could fix the bits I messed up on and get the same giddy, companionable feeling again. The swim, the bike, the run? All felt within my ability, albeit not super speedy compared to some…

Swim, Bike, Run – I’m doing a triathlon!

Swim, Bike, Run – I’m doing a triathlon!

Just call me Bibi Brownlee – I’m doing a sprint triathlon THIS SUNDAY. How do I rate my chances? Well… Non Stanford really doesn’t need to be worrying any time soon. Swim It’s a 400m pool swim, which is just 16 lengths, so hopefully I can’t go too far wrong here. As I previously posted,…

Just Keep Swimming

Just Keep Swimming

Until about a year ago, the only time I ever went swimming was on holiday. When I was on holiday, I loved it – like in the lake on Vancouver Island in the picture above, the cobalt sea in Croatia, or dips in pools in Greece – but I would forget all about it when I came…

Big Autumn Exercise Plans, Post-Marathon

Big Autumn Exercise Plans, Post-Marathon

I have a confession – I’m happily married to marathon training but we’ve been together a long time now and  I have a bit of a roving eye. It’s the Yorkshire Marathon soon (my first ever!) and after months of running day after day, I fantasise about cheating with Zumba… I go into reveries about…
