Last week we had the chance to use 2 sets of these on camp. Several videos exist..this one for educational and comedy purposes. I think we are giving these the seal of approval

That's 5 times in 2 weeks that type of question has popped up. Gordon ( my dentist and client) asked me ' what are you training for?'. I had to pause for thought. The answer has changed over the years but part of the answer always has to be for fun. Most of the time..just cos I love it. There may be a race or two in there but now there is a ticking clock..training for retirement!

So I recently had a bike fit and found that the optimum position for me was a long way from what I had been using. The result is my Trek Emonda has been sold (turn out I had a frame size too small). Now caught in a quandary about do I get another road bike I can adapt to fit me then still use later on the road, or get a time trial bike that is dialed into to my fit? I do have a Specialized Diverge that I train on during winter that is actually a great fit for me, and can flip it between gravel and road set up, so not sure I really need a second road bike. Anyway would appreciate thought from those that have TT bikes, I should say that doing my first Ironman distance in July but likely to drop back to Standard and Sprint in coming years. Cheers Tom

The Hardy boys 500m at Forestburn this morning. Next one 15th March

Went for a run up Arthur’s Seat this morning and whilst we are soon coming out of the darkness in March, thought I should have taken my head torch today. Mine is pretty ropey, bargain basement job, any suggestion on torches that are comfy, decent beam and don’t cost as much as a wetsuit? That aside it was pretty busy up there this morning!
