Ed's Ironman Blog: November 2012
http://edsironmanblog.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, 18 November 2012. There’s Adventure Then There’s ADVENTURE! Mike from the Bike Hutt organised a 200km ‘fun ride’ in the Wairarapa. It all seemed easy on paper; turn up with a bike that can handle gravel roads and be fit enough to ride for 6-8 hours. Most of us turned up on cyclocross bikes with slick tyres, a few people rode road bikes with 25c or 28c tyres. We started off together but soon split into small bunches. I found myself at the front with two guys (Andy and Thomas). We persisted with pu...

Ed's Ironman Blog: Cyclocross update
http://edsironmanblog.blogspot.com/2013/07/cyclocross-update.html
Tuesday, 23 July 2013. With 5 races done and dusted and only three remaining, the season is sadly coming to an end. Race Two was possibly the best course I have ridden. Race Three was fun. Due to discovering my headset had seized late Saturday afternoon and learning my frame needed a Specialized Mindset headset (which I couldn't get in time) I was force to ride my mountain bike. Race Four was COLD and WET! I seriously considered DNFing with two laps to go but carried on to finish. View my complete profile.

Ed's Ironman Blog: Because I can......
http://edsironmanblog.blogspot.com/2013/12/because-i-can.html
Wednesday, 11 December 2013. For those who don't know Upper Hutt, it's at the top of the Hutt Valley, in the Wellington Region. My favourite local hill to mountain bike up is Mt Climie (A) which I did before work. At the other end of the valley, there is another good hill called Boulder Hill (B) which I did after work. So many options and not enough time. Both are fantastic rides and I highly recommend them both. A- From the top of mt Climie at 6.50am Wednesday Morning. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Saturday, 29 September 2012. Can you spot my one? Tibeerious The Old Photographer. Sam The Soccer Star. Labels: art imitating life. Friday, 28 September 2012. Follow your nose Nigel. With the Olympic Distance Triathlon World Champs only a few weeks away, I probably should have been doing intervals on the bike and gone for a run today but the weather was screaming 'Go for a long ride.'. The ride was into Wellington, loop around climbing all the major hills and back out through the Western Hills (Belmont).

Saturday, 21 September 2013. Andy Brown Training for Kona. Andy had one request before he headed off to Kona, we do our traditional race simulation. The only problem was, we were used to doing it in the dry heat of February, the mid autumn weather of cold rain and wind made for an interesting day. It must have paid off, Andy had a fantastic race at Kona. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Fantastic businesses that keep my body and my bikes going.

Sunday, 20 January 2013. Auckland 70.3 Half Ironman Race Report – A Gentleman’s Race. This was the first time this race was being held so I was looking forward to a different course. Danielle had organised some excellent accommodation which meant we were only a few minutes walk from transition. On race morning, I was able to get my gear set up quickly and with time to spare was able to admire all the different bike setups. Most people were carrying two bottles, some one, I went for a three. The climb up ...

Ed's Ironman Blog: Coca-Cola Treasure Hunt...... Before Class
http://edsironmanblog.blogspot.com/2013/12/coca-cola-treasure-hunt-before-class.html
Friday, 20 December 2013. Coca-Cola Treasure Hunt. Before Class. Two of my students challenged me to give up Coke for a week, (not sure where they got the idea from that I drink the stuff), the prize, they would buy me one. First.I had to find it. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Fantastic businesses that keep my body and my bikes going. After many years of mountain biking and road racing, I thought I would give triathlons ago. I did my first Ironman in 2008 and am aiming to complete my 4th in 2012.

Saturday, 8 December 2012. The Rice Mountain Classic is one of the ‘big’ races for the PNP Cycling Club and I was keen to give it a go. I nervously entered B grade - 140km (C grade’s race was much shorter) as my cracked ribs were still giving me issues. Surprisingly the pace early on was easy going, in fact too easy as C grade which started 3 minutes behind caught us like we were standing still. The pace picked up with some of the young C Grade kids taking off and having their 5 minutes of glory. He aske...
