Cycling Alpe D'Huez

Alpe D'Huez is one of the great climbs of the Alps made famous by featuring each year in the Tour de France and in the Alpe D'Huez Triathlon. We cycled the route of the long course triathlon - 115kms with 3500 metres of ascent. Featuring 3 big climbs each of 12kms, 20kms and Alpe D'huez itself is the pinnacle of the day, a 15kms climb with 1000m of ascent over 21 hairpins. Killer!

Ironman Training in Spain - Hills, Sweat, Beers and Skinny Dipping

Ironman Training in Spain - Hills, Sweat, Beers and Skinny Dipping

Last week I travelled to Spain with 27 triathletes to immerse myself in a week of intensive training for my impending Ironman. My aim was to train as hard as I could, to learn about how I should be training rather than the 'winging it' style I've had up until now, to feel motivated about my training and to have fun.

Everyone has those moments of madness right?  The kind when you decide you want to do something you've been thinking about for a long time... You think it's maybe a crazy plan, but you feel so alive and excited when you think of taking on this goal, that in the end you take the plunge, enter your credit card details, press the button and that's it - you've signed up.
