I only just realised that I never posted the details of how my triathlon in April went! It’s been ages since I’ve posted – mainly because I’m going through a significant life change, but it’s all good! Ok, so my first ever triathlon started off ok, although half way through the swim I suffered with [...]

Phew!  I just completed my mini triathlon trial! Here’s what I did…. I have a 10m long pool, so I swam 30 laps (300m). I rode 13.6km I ran 2.1km OMG it was so hard transitioning from riding to running, so I probably did more walking than running at first, but I finished it all [...]

Today I’m doing a trial run of my triathlon.  Once Jason (my hubby) gets out of bed (it’s almost 7.20am on Sunday morning), I’ll be swimming 30 laps of the swimming pool (300m), followed by a 13.6km bike ride, followed by a 2km run. Phew!  Wish me luck!

Ugh!  I feel terrible today!  I think something I ate yesterday disagreed with me, and I was in the bathroom for part of the night.  Not nice. Today I felt tired and flat. But I wondered if I should exercise regardless?  I wanted to do some Fit Yummy Mummy strength training today, but I really [...]

I have 56 days left to go before my first ever triathlon, and I’ve lost around half a kilogram (one pound?) of weight. Ok, it’s not much but then again I’ve not changed my eating habits at all, and I have noticed that my arms are looking leaner and my waist too. There’s still a [...]

I cycled this morning and wow!  I was about half way through and somehow found a second wind, so powered through the last part. I think I’m actually getting fitter! Now, if only that roll around my middle would disappear…..!

I can’t believe I’m up to day 9 already!  I decided last Tuesday to compete in the triathlon and here I am a week later, and STILL feeling motivated (surprise surprise!). I decided to do my 2.5km run in intervals, rather than trying what I know I’m not yet capable of – running the entire [...]

OMG I cannot believe how much my calf muscles hurt!  This was all caused by the Wii Active that Jason bought me for Christmas.  I told him that the Wii Fit Plus was too easy and to get me something harder.  Weeellll… it’s harder all right! I thought I was being “smart” when I chose [...]

Day 6 it is! On Saturday morning my husband and I went for a ride.  We rode for a little over 13km and we averaged 24km per hour.  We did this in around 34 minutes. It’s not an ideal time, but hey – we’re only in week 1! On Sunday I swam 300m and did [...]
