Another training camp is over. We had a fantastic two weeks at Club la Santa. The first week was the Spring Triathlon camp with Joe Beer and Dan Bullock, and the second was intended to be a bit of a holiday, but ended up being a training week as well, albeit with a sight-seeing trip to Timanfaya National Park.
Totals for the Camp:
| Cycling: | 22 hrs 30 mins | 418km |
| Running: | 6 hrs 11 mins | 49.8km |
| Swimming: | 5 hrs 05 mins | 5500m |
After last year’s incident with the baggage handlers, I decided to take some extra precautions when packing my bike this year. Firstly, I got some pipe lagging to protect the tubes of the frame – it’s available in a number of sizes and should fit most bikes – I got mine off eBay for about…
Last weekend, I competed in the Huntly Triathlon, another event in the MPH-sponsored Aberdeenshire Council Triathlon Series. It’s based at Gordon Schools & Huntly swimming pool, about 45 minutes’ drive from my home. I’d seeded myself with a slower swim time that at the Turriff race, with the hope of being in a lane with…
We’re just back from the Club La Santa training camp in Lanzarote Thursday We arrived mid-afternoon, flying in from Glasgow. Weather hot compared with 1 or 2 deg back in Glasgow. Unfortunately, when putting my bike together, I managed to break the K-Edge SRM Magnet, so no power for the camp – tip for next time,…

The venue for the conference was on the south side of Edinburgh in the Pollock Halls. Spread over two days, the conference covered a good mix…
Yesterday saw the running of the Baker-Hughes 10k in Aberdeen. I’ve completed this event many times in the past, but for this year I had high hopes of a fast time. Back in March, I’d finished the Garioch 10k in 52:xx, my. fastest 10k for quite a while. Given that the Inverurie-based event is run…
Today was the tenth running on the Garioch 10k. I’ve taken part in a couple of the previous events, my last one being in 2013. The race is based in Inverurie, about 15 miles from my house. The weather wasn’t great for today’s race, but it was better than two years ago, when the course…
