Well that was an adventure! For me health and wellbeing is connected completely to the day to day and occasionally it helps to put an objective in, or, an event. This weekend I went to Devon to swim the "Bantham Swoosh" an interim objective on the road to a longer swim event in a few months. Always a bonus when you finish in the top 30 out of 800 swimmers...suggests the training is on point!

Well, I have been a bit busy lately getting ready for one of two swims this summer. First one in a few weeks, a great event for a very positive charity and having witnessed through my wife's expert navigation a few years ago....now my turn!

I thought it a good time to change my photo to reflect an adventure and journey that I undertook with a good friend of mine and one that continues today. It is underway again this week in the Canadian Yukon and over 10 years later I still have fond memories of the learning I took from it. I always consider returning but perhaps the wisdom is to try not to repeat something unique but simply to take the experiences and use them day to day, week to week and month to month.

Well, that went quickly! My little company of 1 turns 12 today! Yesterday was the busiest day Ive ever had so I guess its going ok. Most pleasing is how many of you have been with me most of these 12 years..here's to the next 12 and thanks for coming on the ride so far...😎

Not my day today. 50k in 6hrs 5mins but it broke me and I stopped halfway. Possibly went too hard early and only 4 weeks after Ultra-Trail Snowdonia by UTMB may not be 100%. Different terrain, id trained well but sometimes it falls like that. My teammate YJ was strong as an ox...perhaps im focussing on his coaching too much and not my own. 😂. Always good to spend time with good people, the preparation, adventure and process of an event is as important as the result and a good hard 50km run is always credit in the bank..now time to rest and recover!
