March Update
So here we are with the next blog update. Is scary to think it has already been a month since our last big update (apologies not done one sooner, we will be doing these more regularly in the future). Time really does fly, especially with everything we are trying to cram into the days at the moment. Work has been pretty full on for the both of us and trying to squeeze in training/responding to potential sponsors/updating the website etc.. has been difficult, but we continue to


Walk in the park
So where do I start, has been a rather full on month or so. We started 2015 with a real bang, pushing hard to reach out to sponsors and really looked to get some decent training under our belts.

Planning Day
Great session today! Despite Shay turning up to the wrong coffee shop, managed to get a load organised. We covered our short/medium/long term objectives, what the other challenges we wanted to put into our "Triathlon", potential charities and most importantly our name!! Decided on Saddle Sand Sea! Don't think either of us have fully grasped how much admin there will be over the course of the next couple of years, have a sneaky suspicion there will be a few more coffee shop se
