The ramblings of an athlete who can't retire...: May 2013
http://cabinsramblings.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 27, 2013. I am rapidly making up for the summer off competition, by stacking the events in in quick succession. This weekend it was the turn of the innagural Woodhill 360. A 6hr event run by Tim Farmer as a fundraiser for his attempt at the years 24hr Worlds. Tim's a good bugger and does plenty for the MTB community so it was only right to show our faces.. Had already given me a headstart, as with our team only consistuting two of us we had decided on long (i.e. 1hr30) stints each. Fitness G...

The ramblings of an athlete who can't retire...: January 2013

Thursday, January 10, 2013. Happy New Year, and welcome to 2013. Looking at the blog I figured its probably long overdue for a catch up? Yes we are still here, but what are we up to? I figured the pic above is probably a pretty good summary of whats been going on. Basically nothing too serious! For what was essentially an XC Time Trial. Was great fun for sure. Instead I've enjoyed a pretty relaxed summer. Exercise has been sporadic. I've enjoyed playing on the Moto, watching other sports, and eve...Not w...

http://cabinsramblings.blogspot.com/2013/06/change-of-footwear-this-weekend-some.html
Thursday, June 20, 2013. A change of footwear this weekend, some important lessons, and a only a couple of injuries. Needing a bit of a blow out mentally, I lined up for the last round of the Dirt Guide XC series. A 2hr Moto event. Bit of a change from the previous weekends which had gone XC MTB, Duathlon, then Trail Running. Instead this weekend it was the KTM 125 that would power me around the course.

The ramblings of an athlete who can't retire...: April 2013
http://cabinsramblings.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 29, 2013. Just one day after SingleSpeed nationals and the gears have gone back on my hardtail already as really; I am a bit soft. But there is something to be said for the simplification that less gears brings. So while the buzz over XX1 groupsets continues, I started to search for a more affordable option and here it is. Chainring from wolftooth components. Married to an XTR clutch derailleur. Solid, quiet, simple. Highly reccomended. Equal…. along with everyone else. Friday, April 5, 2013.

The ramblings of an athlete who can't retire...: November 2012
http://cabinsramblings.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Saturday, November 24, 2012. Bit of a radio interview on Radiosport on Friday. Was quite fun really. Pretty cool to do a live national radio show, hoefully didn't waffle too much! If you want a listen click on the links below. Its kinda long, and the links are generic to 15min blocks on the station, so in three parts. Part one. starts about a minute in.

The ramblings of an athlete who can't retire...: September 2012
http://cabinsramblings.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Friday, September 7, 2012. Today we lost a legend. You were, and will always remain, an inspiration to so many us. A constant reminder to make the most of lifes opportunities. The living definition of "Braaap". Ride on brother. Man, where does time go? September already. The positive about that (aside from the warmer weather) is that it brings us inside the magic "8-weeks-till-D-day" that I seem to require to train effectively and with suitable motivation. Whats been happening since the last update?

http://cabinsramblings.blogspot.com/2013/06/working-on-making-my-legs-hate-me.html
Tuesday, June 11, 2013. Working on making my legs hate me a little less. After a week of hobbling around due to my self-inflicted leg damage from 3D's efforts, I figured my running could do with a bit of attention. So rather than plan a sensible slow base run, I took the usual approach of finding an event. Conviently the 2nd race of the XTERRA Trail Run. Series was on in the nearby Riverhead Forest. And even the photographers couldn't escape the conditions. Fun and challenging times allround. Hop...Hi Ma...

The ramblings of an athlete who can't retire...: Exploring something different
http://cabinsramblings.blogspot.com/2013/11/exploring-something-different.html
Thursday, November 14, 2013. Went exploring on the weekend on what turned into a bit of an epic. At a secret location where I know of numerous (and awesome) Moto trails. Had planned on a 45min or so skid. Was having too much fun and started following arrows. After 1hr30 I realised it was the 30km loop from a recent 6hr Moto race. I didn't have a water bottle. but I did have jelly snakes. Some brutally steep ups. Some rather exciting downs. And some spectacular views. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
