Sheffield Castle Parkrun 2018

November 17th 2018 5 km run Feeling pretty heavy with baby and added-fat weight (15kg! - see below for me at my most whale-like the day before giving birth) I shuffled my way up what felt like a huge hill to the start of the course, with a few diversions where I failed to read google maps. Arriving just on time, I set off and watched what seemed like a stream of runners speed off without me. The course was not particularly friendly to my condition, being hilly and wholly tarmac. It was three very dull laps, and the bowl-like shape of the park meant I could see exactly how far off the leaders were! I was relieved to finish (a nice uphill end), getting a fair bit of pain in my pelvis by the end of it, and very glad not to be lapped (it was a close call). Not a course I would recommend to be honest but everyone seemed friendly enough. There were a few stares at the fat lady running but I am used to these by now.... Brunch however, was great! Post-blog note: At 37.5 w...

Outlaw Half 2018

May 20th 2018 1900 m swim, 56 mile bike, 13.1 mile run As I ask myself before every race - did I feel prepared? No, not really! Having not been able to run since the marathon five weeks ago due to a hip flexor injury, I went into this race with an overarching sense of "unknown". Would I be able to run? Would I be able to finish? What is running? How do I do it? Aside from training, prep was smooth. I registered on Friday after work, and turned up Sunday morning at 5am to the correct end of the lake (unlike last time's half). My racking spot was very decent (near bike-in and bike-out) and I felt I had all the kit I needed. Multiple loo trips meant zipping-up the wetsuit was as last minute as ever, and before I knew it I was in the water. The start gun went and I set off on the far left (as I had successfully done for the full) into the blinding sunlight. My aim was to stay out of the melee (which I managed), then cut in. Somehow I had difficulty cutting in, so I j...

Kingfisher Trail 2018

By -

May 4th-7th 2018 The Kingfisher trail is a cycling route on the western border between Ireland and Northern Ireland. Popular starting points include Enniskillen and Carrick-on-Shannon (I chose the latter for the train station) and the trail is 200+ miles (with optional add-on loops). It's been on my "list" to do this trail for a while, so I was glad to take the opportunities of cheap flights on a UK bank holiday weekend (interestingly not an Irish bank holiday weekend!) to do it. Day 1 - Carrick-on-Shannon to Ballyshannon (with 10 mile add on from Cabinteely to Dublin train station) 60 miles, 3900 ft climbing Having compared the cost of flying my bike over versus hiring a bike, I had decided to hire one, but bring over what seemed like half my bike anyway...My checked bag was full of pannier, tent, shoes and even a saddle! The evening prior to Day 1 was spent preparing my bike, but I realised as soon as I set off that I should have tested it too as my panniers ...
