I hope this BLOG finds everyone well and ready to start 2010 fresh after some time off? I am assuming most of you have had some time off, because unless you have been out of the country or hibernating some where you will have been getting increasingly frustrated by the SNOW we have had across the UK.

I hope everyone is in the Christmas spirit and has got all of their presents purchased, or at least their shopping list ready for the last minute rush to the shops on Christmas Eve?

I have had the week to reflect on my Ballbuster race and thought I would share them with you in the form of a race report. So please sit back and enjoy the read!

Recovery is the key word on every athlete’s lips no matter what level you are competing at, if you don’t allow your body to recover you will never gain the full benefits from all the time you put into training hard!

to talk about over-training and how it relates to what you eat and don’t eat and how nutrition plays an important part in making you the ‘complete’ athlete. Nutrition is as important as any training session, you don’t put diesel in a petrol car and expect the same performance, do you?

So the 2009 season of triathlon has pretty much come to an end as the waters get colder and the weather gets less enjoyable (if there is such a thing in the UK). So I am sat here thinking how do we begin to think about what races to do in 2010. Here is some hopefully [...]

Our Roydon open water swim facility was the venue for the 1st Inter-Club Aquathlon on Saturday 22nd August, and with athletes from RG Active, Bishops Stortford Tri Club and the Met Police Tri Club it was hoped we would have a great event.
