Ever thought what else you could be working on at camp?  How about your mental toughness! Resilience, determination, and your ability to never give up.  Certainly keeps me going.

In the coldness, my mind takes flight,
Hitting the road with mental might.
Nature's touch soothes, resilience grows,
Strength and peace in the chilly blows.

Cool whispers untap my hidden strength,
Limits shattered; I go to any length.
In training's realm, doubts fade away,
Boldly I conquer, come what may.

With each shiver, I grow strong,
Confidence rising, fears long gone.
Cool winds challenge, yet I prevail,
Pushing boundaries, I will not fail.

In winter's embrace, I'm reborn,
Mental fortress built, battle-worn.
Training outdoors, where I belong,
Where confidence thrives, and resilience is strong.

To those new to these articles, I’m not going to go into an in-depth explanation as to what they are about.  But suffice to say, I just talk about stuff that comes into my head.

Some of it is relevant to triathlon, some of it is just for interest, some of it is humorous and entertaining (hopefully), and some of it will be about the things in life that give me the…. that annoy me!

I actually started writing this one (G Files) during one of our 274 lock downs when I was pondering what I could talk about, and the answer was obvious! I needed to move up the evolutionary scale to….

“There’s no such thing as bad weather – just bad clothing choices.”

When you’re riding on a cold, wet and windy day, you want to be as warm and as comfortable as you can. We have a guide for those new to Winter riding, to help you avoid learning from a very cold and miserable experience of your own!

The guide talks about a lot of gear and you can wear some or (like me) often all of it at once. The key is LAYERS. Even on the coldest day, you will heat up as you grind up the hills and then become freezing cold as the wind slices through you on the descents or you hit a gully where it appears all the cold air was hiding and waiting to slap you off your bike!
