Returning from Ironworld
In General Triathlon, Ironman, Simon Ward of TTC (October 21, 2009 3:24 pm)
It’s been just over a week since I left Kona (or Ironworld as I referred to it in an earlier blog) and I’m just about over the jetlag. The colder weather in the UK might take a bit longer to adjust to. Mind you I am still persisting with wearing shorts to work, at least [...]
Kona – other stuff
In Ironman, Races, Simon Ward of TTC (October 10, 2009 8:21 am)
As I promised you yesterday, no sexy kit or other bits and pieces to spend your money on.
This time a quick look around the world famous (at least in Ironworld) Lava Java
and a quick look at the athletes lining up to rack their bikes on Friday afternoon
Tomorrow, its race day. Should be plenty of [...]
Kona – You have no money left. Tough Luck!- Look at this kit
In Ironman, Simon Ward of TTC (October 9, 2009 9:12 am)
After the quick look around the main expo yesterday here are another couple of videos which show you some real nice kit. Too bad you’ve spent all of your money.
The Bike Expo
The Run Shoe Expo
Tomorrow I promise you; No more nice kit. But we will be taking a quick look at Lava Java and the [...]
Kona – Spend all of your money here!
In Ironman, Simon Ward of TTC (October 7, 2009 7:34 pm)
Show me a triathlete who doesn’t like to spend money and I’ll show you someone who’s not a proper triathlete. Actually that’s probably not fair but you get the picture. Triathletes love to spend their money and the expo here in Kona is by far and away the biggest one I’ve seen at a triathlon [...]
Kona: It’s quiet
In Ironman, Races, Simon Ward of TTC (October 6, 2009 4:36 am)
Traditionally most athletes seem to arrive in Kona on Sunday 6 days before the race, although the European athletes tend to arrive a bit earlier.
This means that Monday morning at the beach is usually heaving. Exit the water around 8am and you can’t move on the dockside. This year it seemd much quieter. As you [...]
You would hate to be in Kona…
In Ironman, Simon Ward of TTC (October 4, 2009 4:27 am)
…if you had a body image problem.
As the great and the good of Long distance triathlon descend on Kona, anyone in town and not connected with the race might think that they had landed on a different planet. For 2 weeks this place is “Ironworld”.
In “Ironworld” fat people don’t exist – I’m not being fattest [...]
Being a Norseman – The Recovery
In Ironman, Norseman triathlon, Simon Ward, Training of TTC (September 7, 2009 8:30 pm)
I’m just coming to the end of my post Norseman recovery period. It’s been just over 4 weeks since the race and I feel like I am ready to get back into training.
In one respect the Norseman is no different from any other Ironman. Its a big event that takes a lot of preparation and [...]
Becoming a Norseman – Race report – The Run
In Ironman, Norseman triathlon, Races, Simon Ward of TTC (August 14, 2009 5:14 pm)
Only the run to go! ONLY!! First I had to stand up straight and change from cycle to run kit. Andy had dropped Fiona off to support one of the guys behind me so he helped me in T2. As I said before there were no change tents so 4 ladies standing close by got [...]
