Trepid Explorer: May 2015
http://trepidexplorer.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
20 years of being "Not Last". Sunday, May 31, 2015. I spent a whole day on Saturday bezzing around the Peak with Claire Smith. Enjoyed every minute and turned myself inside out a few times. As ever I am reminded of how much I like riding with Norton Wheelers and now know how easy it is to get to the Saturday ride from our new house. Swimming an entire 2.5 laps of the lake was a real bonus. Felt ok for the first time this year. I had a rest day today but looking forward to being back on it tomorrow. I wan...

Trepid Explorer: December 2014
http://trepidexplorer.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
20 years of being "Not Last". Tuesday, December 30, 2014. Festive Mountain Bike ride with Mr Hopkins. On 30th December I took the rare move of diverting away from my usual stomping ground and riding a bike with another person other than my incredibly patient husband. I only know one person as patient as TSK and that is Mr Hopkins. We chose a route which would be sufficiently scenic yet achievable given the snowy frozen conditions, taken from my 1993 guide book of West Yorkshire. Soon our friends were bac...

Trepid Explorer: An unexpected delight
http://trepidexplorer.blogspot.com/2015/08/an-unexpected-delight.html
20 years of being "Not Last". Monday, August 10, 2015. Yesterday, I went out for a walk with my mum and dad. It was a beautiful walk but it took us rather a long time to do and so, with chatting in the garden included, we were probably in baking sunshine for the best part of 6 hours. When they left I was feeling a combination of depression and hyperactivity. So lovely to see them and they are doing OK but things were worrying me and I had an evening of sulking - up until about midnight. In order to then ...

Trepid Explorer: August 2015
http://trepidexplorer.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
20 years of being "Not Last". Monday, August 31, 2015. How to write about a day that involved so many other people? Well, in truth I daren't and don't have the time. There were 6 teams at the Sheffield Tri club camp - each with 4 members. I was teamed up with H (the organiser of the teams), Matt and Andrew - all competent athletes in their own right but everyone was out to have fun and get some exercise. And we all thought, that's me, that's what I'll be like, that's what I'll do. I rolled around both bu...

Trepid Explorer: March 2015
http://trepidexplorer.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
20 years of being "Not Last". Tuesday, March 24, 2015. Joy in Life Without Ironman. So I started this morning paralysed by indecision - to do a running race? Or go for a swim? I suddenly realised that I am really lucky to be a multi sport athlete. Most people only get to decide whether to train or not. I get a choice of what to train at. I can't do anything by halves though and I worked on the garden until it got dark. Monday, March 16, 2015. Three weeks have passed since Grizedale. Testament to the ...

20 years of being "Not Last". Thursday, February 26, 2015. Sun Salutations in the Rain. Yoga today followed by a 4km run with a workmates who made me run faster cos I didn't want to slow him down too much. Wednesday, February 25, 2015. Rest day from training today but a bloody productive day on site with a lovely drive home from Hazel Grove. Wish I felt a bit more recovered. Tuesday, February 24, 2015. Today I rode to yoga on my way to work. What a great way to start the day. Monday, February 23, 2015.

Trepid Explorer: July 2015
http://trepidexplorer.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
20 years of being "Not Last". Friday, July 31, 2015. Scottish Adventure / Cafe Holiday 2015. We left work late as TSK had to finish his last day at his old job. He will return to a new one. By the time we reached the A66 we are tired and ready to stop – somewhere on the way, but where? It was such a nice evening we pitched the Tentipi without its inner for the first time. We layed the Thermarests straight on the ground because it was so dry. And it lashed it down. We survived dry and we cooked breakf...

Trepid Explorer: Trep has been censored
http://trepidexplorer.blogspot.com/2015/08/trep-has-been-censored.html
20 years of being "Not Last". Tuesday, August 04, 2015. Trep has been censored. The nasty people at FB have realised Trepid Explorer is not a normal human and wish to reinstate my account as boring old me. if they even accept that I am who i say I am. I wish to get some of my photos and posts back so I may return for a while as boring old me. However, i am unlikely to trust them with my friendship again. Off to print out 10 years of blog posts. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). A good old bit of stats.
