Welcome!

Thanks for stopping by ( Cliché perhaps?)

 

I have spent years and years enthusiastically abusing my body and getting a kick out of how well I was able to enjoy the best of all worlds.  Smoking, drinking, drugs, holding down a pretty good job and maintaining a good level of fitness.

Slowly the cracks started to show... illness, fatigue, hangovers, and the inability to party for 3 days straight. Work became a refuge from my social life. What was happening to me?  I needed change.

Firstly,  I moved house and surrounded myself with people who weren’t going to be there with me to answer the door to the police every weekend at 5am.

Most of all, I needed to give up the fags... easier said than done. I always thought myself to be very good at smoking. A true hidden talent. But they had to go.

So it turns out that when you give up 2 things that take up a significant portion of your life, you have a lot of time to think about exactly what your missing out on.  I needed something to fill these minutes...

This is when I decided that my only path to complete health would mean replacing one extreme with another. Make of it what you will, but it’s how I operate.

So I bought a bike, packed away my ego, and started competing (a very loose term) in triathlons. I don’t intend on being a world champion, but I’d like to win a race one day.  That’s the goal.

Given that this is a massive sport with a lot of dickheads out there telling you what you should and shouldn’t be doing, I understand it can be difficult to know what’s what.  

Join me on my path of discovery... not just the sport, but how to integrate it into your life without pissing off too many people along the way!

So welcome. Stick around...
