The ups and downs of a TRYathlete

For those of us that train perhaps a little more than the average bear we are more than aware that much like everyones day to day life its full of ups and downs and you have to learn to 'roll with the punches' a little.

last weeks SOLID week

Some weeks (like last) are as good as they can get with 250+ miles on the bike, plenty of running and lots of sunshine. This week however is juxtaposing to say the least with driving rain, lots of evening work and a couple of niggling injuries that are making keeping up with last weeks efforts nigh on impossible.

I have always loved the bigger miles and endurance side of things so training for a sprint duathlon and having to focus on keeping it short and sharp are something i need to focus on as with 24 days to go the taper will soon be upon us.

if only the run was this short

There have been lots of other exciting developments this week with the development of a new logo for the blog and the completion of my promotional photos (shown above). I was lucky enough to have access to the schools green screen and my resident nerd Andrew Ibbott who put in some incredible photoshopping to create these beauties!

My logo was lovingly mastered by +spencer wilson a fellow Lovelo Cinelli team rider and all round awesome guy. If you need something designing or made to look awesome then he really is your man.

I would like to thank those that have supported me in making this possible, without you this genuinely wouldnt be happening. Love Luton, Tiro Partners, SB Digital Media,  Lovelo Cycle Works (Berkhamsted) & not forgetting my employer Berkhamsted School for being flexible and understanding.
