I decided to do a post about exercising and pregnancy. Now as a disclaimer before I write I want to reiterate that I am NOT medically qualified. Do NOT take what I write as the only way to do things and most importantly before starting (or continuing) an exercise program when pregnant CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR!!!

I now feel like I can officially celebrate. I am out of the 1st trimester and the screening tests have all come back good. They confirmed that I am only pregnant with one child (phew) and that the risk of Down’s is low.
If the [...]

All my friends are beginning to start talking about training for Ironman next year and I am feeling a little left out. Actually I am feeling worse for my poor husband. The poor man has gone from a wife whose conversations revolved almost solely about training to a wife whose conversations seems to revolve solely [...]

I loved being on holiday, and I am loving all the public holidays at the moment.
There is only one problem. It reminds me how much I like being at home. It makes coming in to work very difficult. I have been mumbling and moaning for the last 2 days (yes, that is all I [...]

Here are some photo’s of the marquee that blew away during the Ironman South Africa run. I am not sure who took the photo’s as I got them on email.
Thankfully nobody was seriously injured, although quite a few people had to get stitches and things. It could have been a lot worse and I think [...]

After handing my bike to a young guy in transition I ran into the tent. I was not changing again, except my shoes, socks, sunglasses and hat, but I wanted covered in sunscreen again. I also needed to go to the loo. The volunteers in the tents are awesome but besides the sunscreen I did [...]

I got my bike out of transition and headed for the road. My goal for the bike was to average about 26 km/hour. The course is 3 loops each of 60 km. The first section is a “gentle” climb to the highest point on the course. There is then a very nice down hill, and [...]

I woke up and everything was fine! For about 10 minutes, then I seized up again. CRAP, CRAP, CRAP! But as I had woken up fine I decided that it was NOT an injury, I must just be stressed and as soon as I stood on the start it would go away. However, just incase, [...]

The problem with being away from the internet for so long, especially when so much is going on that I want to write down everything but can’t. Also it would make for rather boring and confusing reading.
So, the summary is:
