General Multi-sport News
I’ve been involved in sport and in particular running since my early teenage years, competing at county level on the track and cross country. A career in the Army also allowed me to develop as an athlete in the field of running. After years running I decided that I needed a different challenge, but something that would still involve my beloved asics runners! So I entered the world of multi sport, not quite sure what to expect but never the less 100% committed. I hooked up with my local triathlon club ‘Sunderland City’ and started to ride out with the guys on a Sunday morning. Having been a keen mountain biker and to a certain degree road cyclist, the world of cycling was not something new, but much more enjoyable being out with a group. Like most triathletes who come from a running background the swim was, and still is, my weakest discipline. I still find it a real struggle to swim up and down a pool staring at the mosaic tiles!
I have completed numerous aquathons, duathlons and triathlons over the last couple of seasons and have to say that between the three, I actually prefer duathlons. Probably more so because of the added intensity of aerobic activity with the additional run.
Regardless whether it’s triathlon or duathlon, I just love the feeling of pushing my body to it’s physical limits, the nervous build up to the gun and the overwhelming feeling of success upon completion of an event.
My commitment and love of the sport in general has lead me here, my latest creation, Trispace. I hope to provide the multi-sport world with a diverse, interesting and informative range of topics associated with the world of multi-sport and in particular triathlon & duathlon.

Hi There,
Read about your blog via your mates, Kieron, blog.
Fulltime affiliate myself for my sins. Used to do a fair bit of cycling years ago (time trials) then got into mountain biking. Now do running (runningoutside.com) though seem to have lost focus recently! Can’t swim for toffee but I might do a duathlon (biathlon?) at some point.
I’ve subscribed to your blog. Have you thought about using custom permalinks in wordpress - they can help your search rankings ..maybe ask your mate for advice.
Cheers
John

Well well well mate never knew you were this mad on tri to commit the time to develop something like trispace so good luck and I’ll put it on my favorites and keep an eye on it.
I swim like a brick and prefer duathlons too but why not try and go long. The swim is less of an issue and the bike leg plays more of a roll as you tend to get near to the good swimmers for the start of the run leg.
