  • The need for speed

    I’ve decided that next year’s events are primarily going to be Olympic distance triathlons. My weakest section is the run and one I know is going to be hard to improve on.

  • Stratford Half Marathon 2010

    I've not done this event for a few years and was surprised by how many people now participate.
  • Regency Leamington Spa 10k 2010

    Third year on the trot I think for this event and I've been practicing parts of the route on my training runs. It's a tricky one as the first few kilometers are up hill and the final one has a few sharp turns in it.
  • Great South Run 2009

    The clocks change and I'm drawn to Portsmouth for what's become a tradition - the Great South Run.
  • Regency 10k

    Competed in my second Regency 10k in Leamington this morning. It seems to be turning into a regular Boat Club event as I was once again joined by Sandy and the ladies four.

    The weather was clear and sunny but with…

  • First run for a while

    I donned my trainers and wind proof for my first run in a while. I was happily surprised with my pace; managing an average sub 7.30 minute mile. I wan’t that happy with the weather though as the rain and…

    Another wet and windy one this year!

  • Entries are in

    Mark’s posted his entry so I thought I’d better get round to sorting mine out :-S

  • My toughest year of sport

    I’ve done, well been talked into, a few crazy events in the past few years but this next year is going to beat them all! Seeing as its going to be a toughy I thought I’d keep track of my…

About this blog

Welcome to the personal blog of Robert A J Ford, a professional interaction designer and developer based in the UK.

I started this blog in 2007 to record my cycle training leading up to the Etape. I've never been one for diaries but this format works well with my job and lifestyle so I expanded it to record details of other training and events.

As the blog grew it became a space where friends and family followed my activities. Their feedback has inspired me to keep writing. I hope you find something of interest and please feel free to leave comments.
