Back on the team...

Back on the team... @SOAS_Racing #TeamSOAS #TeamSOAS2017

Training with a baby isn’t easy. I haven’t swum since I gave birth as I’m no longer a member of my University gym and I’m not currently a swimming member of Southampton Tri Club. I also haven’t been able to cycle as my turbo trainer isn’t set up (there’s currently no room for it). However, I have been running. Despite this, I’ve decided not to renew my membership with Lordshill Road Runners. I’ve…

2014 vs. 2015 vs. 2016

2014 vs. 2015 vs. 2016 - comparing my @SOAS_Racing #TeamSOAS kits #triathlon #cycling #running

It was so exciting to receive my 2016 SOAS Ambassador kit. I’ve shared some pictures on social media, but haven’t had a chance to blog about it until now. Here’s the full kit: Last year, one of the ambassadors made a fantastic video to showcase the new kit: My Facebook/Instagram/Twitter feeds have been full of the other ambassadors…

More exciting kit glimpses from SOAS

More exciting #TeamSOAS kit glimpses from @SOAS_Racing I can't wait for March! #triathlon

The SOAS Racing sewing machines seem to have been working 24/7 to create our 2016 Ambassador kit. I’ve seen so many glimpses of it on Instagram in the last couple of weeks and can’t wait for it to arrive in March. I love this hat. I wore my 2015 hat as often as I could get away with, but this one is gorgeous. We’ve also been given glimpses of two other pieces of headwear: My pea-head isn’t made…

New kit coming soon :-D

New @SOAS_Racing kit coming soon #triathlon

It’s so exciting that my Team SOAS Ambassador kit is currently being made. This week we got a sneak peek at the sports bras: I also saw a cool video of the shorts being made. The material is sublimated, so that there isn’t excessive stitching. I can’t wait to wear these: If you want to watch some short videos of the kits being made, pop over to the SOAS racing Facebook page. There are also…

Back to work and back to training

Back to work and back to training #swimming #cycling #UKBA2016

So who was keen to go back to work today? My lounge feels so big now that the Christmas decorations have gone, but the horrendous weather here means that I wasn’t looking forward to getting on my bike this morning. I spent yesterday afternoon out on my slippery flat roof with a broom and a trowel. I had to brush a huge amount of water off the roof so that I was able to unblock the drain. I then…

So much SOAS kit!

So much @SOAS_racing kit! Can't stop buying presents for myself! #Christmas

I’m so excited that Christmas is almost here – I only got one day left at work before my holiday begins :-D It’s going to be an unusual Christmas for me this year. It’s my first one in my new home and my mum is on the other side of the world holidaying with my brother and sister and their partners. Usually I go home to Cornwall for Christmas or my mum comes to stay with me. Luckily, I saw my mum…

Preview of the 2015 SOAS racing Brand Ambassador kit

Loving teh first glimpse of the 2015 #TeamSOAS Brand Ambassador kit @SOAS_Racing #triathlon

I’ve absolutely loved wearing the 2014 SOAS Brand Ambassador kit (and have to admit that my workout wardrobe is significantly more turquoise as a consequence… I even refused to buy a new pair of Brooks PureFlows until my local shop agreed to get them in turquoise), so I’ve been waiting with bated breath to find out what the 2015 kit would be like. The first hint was the ‘team kit’ that was…

Swim, run, bike - my weekend in that order

Swim, run, bike - my weekend in that order: #TeamSOAS #cake @Sotonparkrun

The weekend didn’t get off to a great start. I felt exhausted by Friday evening, but Stuart had booked for us to go for a swimming assessment, so I had to find some motivation. We arrived at the pool early and I got organised before heading poolside. Rachel was being filmed first, so I had time to do a warm up in one of the other lanes, then it was my turn. I helped to set the camera in position…
