Hey there, Hope it’s a good week so far for you. So week 6 is upon us and in good news, I think I’ve completely fallen in love with my bike. It’s still in the kitchen and I stare at it while eating all meals, which is proving difficult for conversation flow 🙂 Last Sunday I joined the beginners group…

I feel like this week hasn’t been the best. I made plans to cycle before hitting the road last weekend and to swim in Limerick on Sunday morning. The cycle ended up being cut short to 11km as the wind was wiping me out into the middle of the road. I wasn’t feeling very safe and it was really hard…

There is no point in denying it for any longer. In recent days it has become clear that for the 25th year in a row I have fallen quite heavily from the Lenten wagon. Don’t judge me; I know that I am not alone. Go on and admit it, that sneaky Mars bar, a cigarette at the back door, nibbling your…

Wow so time is flying by and our first triathlon with the beginners group is creeping up fast. We’ve about seven weeks left and so it was high time I figured out how I was doing on the bike, especially seeing as I haven’t been cycling with the club yet. The club had arranged bike time trials in Phoenix Park…

The Army loves an acronym. We use them for everything. From the start to the finish of any course, whether you are training to be a sniper or a medic, you are inundated with an acronym for this and an acronym for that. All very handy really. My favourite though is KISS. All soldiers love to KISS, and no mission,…
