New goggs.

So. Just to catch up on where I'm at. I play hockey, I cycle (sometimes), try to play Rugby League and this year will be my first foray into triathlon. The weekends hockey was good for me. Scored 3 goals, won 5-2 against Trojans away in Southampton, a team who beat us earlier in the season. Did something funny to my knee though (I have constant knee issues for some reason) so I'll be skipping training tonight in favour of watching city beat united in the Carling Cup accompanied by a massive bowl of pasta and maybe a cheeky glass of vino. When I have something interesting and thought provoking to say I'll see if I can convey it reasonably elloquently, if not, I'll just chat shit.

Today, we had our first ever bit of triathlon kit turn up at the office, exciting! Ordered a set of these goggles yesterday (Speedo speed sockets) from Wiggle.co.uk for training in the pool and they were here the very next day. Logan's up for testing them out tommorow morning before work! I reckon that's a bit keen personally but tempted to get up early just cos they look so rad and I want to show them off. I'll let you know if they actually work or not....

Intro

Right then. Initially this was just supposed to be a fun thing to do to tell anyone who'd listen about mine and Logans experience of training for the London triathlon. Instead... we've expanded it a little bit to a small select group of friends involved in various different sports who thought it'd be a good way of documenting what we get up to.

It just so happens that Logan, James and myself all work at the same place (Cycling Sports Group UK) come a Monday morning there's always the conversation of how we got on at the weekend, whether it be how many goals I scored in the hockey or where James finished in the latest Gorrick MTB race. Theres an inevitably high level of competition amongst staff members with bragging rights for the week dependant on how well any of us did in our respective sports.
