Open Water Swimming – Tips and Tricks
http://justanothertriathlete.co.uk/open-water-swimming-tips-and-tricks
Andy Heaps - Just Another Triathlete: Triathlon Reviews, Rants and Chat. Open Water Swimming – Tips and Tricks. June 23, 2011. I’m still relatively new to open water swimming. I can count the amount of times I’ve swam in open water (races and practice) on both hands. That said I have learnt a lot of things, often the hard way so I thought I’d share them!

Uber Fit Events was born in the Uber-City of Manchester, UK and is committed to creating exciting and totally fresh events that inspire the multi sport community to zip on wetsuits, fine tune bikes, lace up trainers and race! How exciting can a waterproof coat and a pair of walking socks be?

Thanks Chain Reaction Cycles!

Andy Heaps - Just Another Triathlete: Triathlon Reviews, Rants and Chat. Thanks Chain Reaction Cycles! July 6, 2011. I’ve bought a lot of biking / triathlon stuff online over the past year or 2. I quickly learnt there are some terrible and some brilliant companies. Anyway, I can now add Chain Reaction Cycles. To my list of favourite shops- I recently ordered a speedfil. System off them to replace my Profile Design Aquacell (I’ll save my Aquacell traumas for another post! On 3 Weeks to The Vitruvian!

My First Bonk
http://justanothertriathlete.co.uk/my-first-bonk
Andy Heaps - Just Another Triathlete: Triathlon Reviews, Rants and Chat. August 16, 2011. I’m afraid this post isn’t nearly as exciting as the title makes out! I’ve read a lot about triathletes and endurance athletes hitting the wall or ‘bonking’, and to be honest it’s always sounded pretty horrible. Taken from Wikipedia. It is described as:. Well, on Sunday, for the first time I got first hand experience. Being the last week of the ‘build’ part of my training for The Vit. My run slowed to a walk. No...

Greater Manchester Marathon
http://justanothertriathlete.co.uk/greater-manchester-marathon
Andy Heaps - Just Another Triathlete: Triathlon Reviews, Rants and Chat. July 8, 2011. I’m a bit late to the party with this one, but I was reading. That the Greater Manchester Marathon. Is going to be held next April for the first time in a decade. A decade ago running a marathon was the last thing on my mind, hence it being news to me that it ever existed in the first place! Now that I’m a bit fitter and healthier though, I have to say it’s a little tempting. And this one isn’t far off literally ...

Welcome to Just Another Triathlete!

Andy Heaps - Just Another Triathlete: Triathlon Reviews, Rants and Chat. Welcome to Just Another Triathlete! June 15, 2011. Welcome to Just Another Triathlete! Having got more and more into triathlon over the past couple of years I thought I’d start to write about my trials and tribulations, ups and downs, good times and bad times and everything else that comes with the rollercoaster world of Triathlon! So, I figured I might as well document what I learn and do along the way. On 3 Weeks to The Vitruvian!

Deva Triathlon – Olympic Distance Report
http://justanothertriathlete.co.uk/deva-triathlon-olympic-distance-report
Andy Heaps - Just Another Triathlete: Triathlon Reviews, Rants and Chat. Deva Triathlon – Olympic Distance Report. June 17, 2011. Sunday June 12th, 2011 saw the annual Deva Triathlon. Take place in Chester. It’s very well established and seems to always get good write ups so I thought I’d set it as my first ‘a’ race of 2011. This was a good few minutes slower than I thought I could do – and I am not sure why as everything felt good about it. More practice I guess! Transition 1 was just over 2 minutes.

3 Weeks to The Vitruvian!
http://justanothertriathlete.co.uk/3-weeks-to-the-vitruvian
Andy Heaps - Just Another Triathlete: Triathlon Reviews, Rants and Chat. 3 Weeks to The Vitruvian! August 10, 2011. Yep, that’s right – 3 weeks and 3 days until I will be attempting to drag my ass around my first half iron distance race. That meant that my big training push was delayed by a couple of weeks – and I’m paying the price with the time I need to put in now. Going to Morzine for a long weekend’s mountain biking at the end of July also didn’t help matters, but worth every minute! There is a ligh...
