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!!!

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:
My sister arrived safe and sound.
I completed Ironman
I went hiking
Yes, this has been a busy [...]

My sister gets back tomorrow! I can’t wait. Truthfully I think I am more excited to see her than I am for Ironman.
We have so much planned – obviously Ironman being one of the things. But we are also plan on eating a lot of sushi and going hiking. Although I am not so [...]

It’s Friday!
And being the last Friday of the month also means it’s casual day at work- I love wearing jeans.
Also seeing as it is Friday, we have a sea swim planned for later this afternoon. It will be one of my last before IMSA, although when my sister gets here I know she [...]
