Home DSL has now been down for over 48 hours, "luckily" I have a 3G card which at home gives a top speed of 28Kb/sec.... :-(

Should've been racing tonight, but having been ill most of the weekend and still suffering the side effects I've (for once) taken the sensible decision and decided not to race this evening. There seems little point in slogging around the course when I'll do a crap time and end the season on a low.

How cars end up facing the wrong way on the motorway....

Driving to Jon's on Monday for a social, as we approached the turn off for the M4 at junction 15, the lorry ahead of us decided to change lanes and promptly clipped the car in the blindspot.

IT'S BACK.....

;-)

Just over 4 months for a car to be fixed after having the stereo nicked.... someone is taking the piss. Lesson learnt, no more after market kit, just the best kit that the car maker offers as an upgrade. (of course VW now offer a better GPS unit than they did when I got the car)

....of the season, and the end of the motivation.

Just lost the london triathlon posting I'd been writing on and off (mainly the later) for the past week....

Iona is two years old today, not really sure how that happened but time certainly flies.

She got some great presents and seemed to have loads of fun and we went down to Brighton for the afternoon, a spot of life and look at the fishes in the sea-life centre.

But seriously, two years old already...

Busy as, loads going on....

....in the process of writing up the London triathlon at the moment, just taking longer than expected (unlike the race itself)

anyway, all is good, and I'd rather be busy than bored.
;-)

So just finishing breakfast before heading into town for my 0700 start for my first olympic distance race...

...and it's raining

So tonight is race 3 of 4 at Dorney Lake as part of the F3 Events evening series, time to beat is 1hour 23minutes.... not sure how close I'll get to that, as ever my bike training has been lacking, rest of it though has been going well.

Will post up tomorrow how it went... ;-)
