The Pie Ride is an event that Change Fitness organise every year where the participants cycle around the Wairarapa and then they meet up at the end and get a pie. Normally there are two distances: 100km and 50km. This year, however, they only organised for the 50km cycle. I managed to cycle the 50km…wellContinueContinue reading “The IronMan Diaries / Change Fitness Pie Ride”

The IronMan Diaries: 7
This week it was cycling and running. We started off with a warm up of easy riding on the flat roads between Change HQ and Seaview. We cycled along the road until we got to an area of the Industrial Area that was flat and where we could do circuits. The circuits consisted of anContinueContinue reading “The IronMan Diaries: 7”

This week it was JUST cycling. And it was FREEZING. The area that we were cycling in was really pretty. I want to come back on another chilly winters morning and take photos across the stream. We started off with a warm up riding from Avalon Duck Pond to Trentham. Then we cycled a 2kmContinueContinue reading “The IronMan Diaries: 6”

Tonight I absolutely NAILED my swimming lesson. Which has made me think about my progress. When I first started the TriSquad swimming lessons, I felt slow and useless. Everyone was WAY better than me and it really bothered me because I didn’t think I was THAT bad…but I was, and it was a bit shit.ContinueContinue reading “The IronMan Diaries: 5.5”

This week it was JUST cycling. We started off with a warm up. It was easy riding on the flat roads around Upper Hutt. We cycled from the childrens’ park, up to the highway and back round to where we started…THEN came the hill climbs up Wallaceville Hill. It was hard! The hill seems toContinueContinue reading “The IronMan Diaries: 5”

This week was HARD! We were split up into teams and we were doing a sort of triathlon relay. So there were three people in each team and three races: each person does each discipline but only once each race. I did the disciplines in order. Mainly because I wanted to get the swimming outContinueContinue reading “The IronMan Diaries: 4”

Whilst everyone else was swimming, I ran. I ran for 10 minutes in one direction and then turned around and ran 10 minutes along the same route to ensure that I got back at the correct time. Then, as a group, we cycled from Petone foreshore to the bottom of Korokoro Hill. Our coach gaveContinueContinue reading “The IronMan Diaries: 3”

Tonight I swam with the TriSquad for my first swimming lesson. I won’t lie. I’m not very confident or strong when it comes to swimming, so it’s really no surprise that I’m slow and tire easily, I’m not confident with my breathing, and my right arm doesn’t do what it needs to…so I have aContinueContinue reading “IronMan Diaries: 2.5”

My second TriSquad session felt a little bit easier than the first… This time it was another Run – Bike – Run, as the water still wasn’t great quality and so not good for swimming in. I managed to complete back-to-back racing. It was hard, but I managed it. The first run was only aContinueContinue reading “The IronMan Diaries: 2”

My first TriSquad session was a bit of an effort! I’m not suprised though, because I’ve never done back to back workouts like that before. It was supposed to be Swim-Bike-Run, but unfortunately the water quality was shocking, so it was Run-Bike-Run. I think the outcome was fine given that it’s my first go atContinueContinue reading “The IronMan Diaries: 1”
