So Easter is here, the weather is getting warmer, the nights aree getting longer so more time for training :-) Knee is a whole lot better and managed 20 mins running out on the road yesterday morning. Tri is now only 25 days away so training is starting to get quite hard but looking forward to attempting the Tri. Climbing is going great and thinking about starting a seperate blog, after an amazing adventure last weekend.
Not much else to say, thanks for stopping by.

Cyclists, runners, kayakers, climbers, surfers, geo-cachers, & para gliders. That's the beauty of living on a 4 mile x 8 mile rock in the English Channel. The other advantage? Nowhere is more than 20 minutes away.
