Dear Mr Roadie

Dear Mr Roadie,

 

Please wave to me …  nod or bob your head.Even a finger wave will do. All I really want is an acknowledgement. Motorists hate me too you know! They beep and bully me too.

PMS …

Hi, My name is Tadhg, I’m a triathlete and I suffer from PMS (Post Massive Session). Its been 6 hours since my last Massive Session. Directly after my Massive Session I feel AWESOME!! I’m irritably happy. Then comes the onset of PMS. Bloating and tenderness is common. I can often be found wallowing in self pity craving my next MS. I sometimes sit and stare at my bike … resting against the wall … sullen and unused. Wearing my tri suit, goggles and swim hat around the house makes me feel a little bit better. Sharon won’t allow me sit in the bath with them on anymore.I think she reckons I Iook fat in my tri suit. She says I can be irrational … I just think she doesn’t like that I shave my legs better than she does!! PMS is no laughing matter. Have compassion and realise that its a genuine medical condition. Apparently its more acute in the male gender. I HATE women!!

TriAthy!!

Starting to get excited about my first race this season on Irish soil.

Time Warp!!

Things have been a little bit hectic over the past few months. The arrival of Alan to Australia followed closely by Dad and Adrian left little time for anything else.

Heading out on Run 2 in Raby Bay Triathlon

Queensland Sprint Championships

Ready to go on race morning!!

As part of my training I was racing in the Queensland Sprint Championships today. I’m building up to race in the open category in Raby Bay next week so I was hoping to take a little bit of confidence from this race. I’m nervous about racing next weekend. In all likelihood I’ll struggle to make the main pack in the swim next weekend so a good race was needed.

Battle of the Bulge

I was recently reading Steven Moody’s Ironman blog and his battle with his waistline. Since my arrival in Australia the scales is reading about 8kg lighter than when I boarded the plan back in September.

Introducing Ellie Salthouse

Ellie Salthouse is one the Junior athletes that I train with on a daily basis here in Brisbane. To say that Ellie is dedicated is an understatement. Combing hard work, maturity and god given talent she has qualified for the youth olympics this August in Singapore and looks likely to clinch a spot on the Australian Junior team to race in Budapest this September.
