After 9 months of weight training (carrying a bump around) and possibly the longest endurance event I'll ever participate in... our baby son arrived, hurrah :-) 38 hrs of labour (that's almost three times the duration of my Ironman... Transition Time is almost here... by sarahleonard Jul 3rd 2013 Just a few weeks to go now until the 'big push'. By day, I live in the land of pilates bolster cushions, slip on trainers, gym balls and breathing exercises. I'm stupidly hungry all the time apart from when I'm stupidly full. The thought of going an... The Triathlon Show 2013 by sarahleonard Mar 2nd 2013 Yesterday we visited the Triathlon Show at Sandown Park. It's a bit of a journey for us, but still possible to drive there and back in one day. We decided to go on the Friday when it was likely to be quieter, the only drawback being that the semina... Introducing the New TevaSphere Collection by sarahleonard Jan 14th 2013 It's always quite exciting when a new product is launched in the UK and being a triathlete I'm partial to a nice bit of kit. TriBlogs was lucky enough to be invited to the launch event of the new TevaSphere collection (by outdoor brand Teva). The af... Maybe she's born with it? by sarahleonard Dec 21st 2012 Whatever 'it' is and no I definitely wasn't. If you'd have seen me when I first got back into running in 2004 then I doubt that 'natural runner' or 'born to run' would spring to mind.
For me, running felt like I was in a bad dream, no matter how... Running School: Turning up the Speed by sarahleonard Dec 4th 2012 Time for Running
This time of year is one of my favorites for running. It can be cold outside, but on days like today when the sun is out and with some appropriate running gear I find these conditions great for training. My running sessions have... Staying Motivated by sarahleonard Sep 19th 2012 For some people, motivating oneself to get out for a planned training session is the biggest motivational hurdle. However, I find getting my kit on quick smart will usually get me past this. For me, I always find the first five minutes of any traini... Back to Swimming: Goodbye Shoulder Injury by sarahleonard Sep 2nd 2012 Just a quick post to share my good news. If you've read any of my previous post you'll know that I've been struggling with a shoulder injury for about two years now. It's been really complicated and has affected my neck, shoulder and chest. At times... Rivers know this: there is no hurry. We shall get there some day. by sarahleonard Aug 23rd 2012 Who wouldn't want to dip their toe into somewhere like this! A while ago we attended the H2open day at Reading Lake. I enjoy going to these events and this was the first year that this specialist open water swimming exhibition had taken place. The... 7 lessons learnt when running in the rain by sarahleonard Jul 9th 2012 Let’s face it, the weather has been fairly soggy lately. This post was inspired by my Saturday morning parkrun which reminded me of why I now love to run in the rain! This hasn't always been the case, the thought of frizzy hair and damp feet would ... | Tea Shop Rides Rule OK!

To my horror I'd become totally unfit so I set myself the goal of a half marathon...I got there, but I'm still chasing my sub 1hr 45 target!
Later I thought cycling looked quite fun so, I bought a bike and only then realised that I had to cycle on the road (second horror moment), seven years later and I don't recognise myself. After a year at BADtri (just you know being sociable) I finally decided to learn to swim (front crawl). I've even been known to attend the early morning swim sessions (but only if a post swim coffee and croissant are on offer!). So there we have it Run, Bike, Swim or something like that!
