V02 max testing

Been at St Mary's university, Twickenham this afternoon doing V02 max testing and lactate profiling courtesy of the Triathlon England London academy. Blood, sweat and tears - literally!

ROADTRIP!

Having such a good weekend with two of my favourite triathlon friends, Sophie Coldwell and Ellen McArthur at Ellen's house in Wetherby, Yorkshire. Today we took a lovely day trip to Whitby beach. We did a non-wetsuit sea swim, in Yorkshire, in November! FREEZING I think is the word...

Tree dodging

Had so much fun this morning, throwing myself down muddy hills on a mountain bike with the Optima racing team lot. I think I lost count of how many times I almost hit a tree or almost went over the handle bars!

Arena league = all time favourite

Arena national swimming league is always the highlight of my winter competition schedule. Rushmoor royals took our second win in Canterbury tonight, equipped with our green face paint, green nail varnish, and frying pans!

New season new blog

Welcome to my blog! I'm not an essay person, so will try to keep it short and sweet. Winter training is underway which means plenty of long muddy runs and rides. I'm really excited about this winter and next season, the frustration of not being able to race during 2012 through injury has given me plenty of fire in my belly.
