20/20 Cricket

Okay, so this is a little late but since I have been back in London it has been a bit of a whirlwind of competitions and training. Forgive me?

What about if I hold my hands up and say I'm sorry?

¡Adios Lanzarote!

The final day of our trip was a relaxing one, especially after all of the running and walking we did on Ironman day!

Instead, it was time to relax and top up our tans before getting our flight back to London this morning.

Ironman Lanzarote

It's 5:30am, and outside it is as silent as can be, but behind the apartment doors are 2200 participants all getting ready for one of the most challenging days of their lives.

We are all about to meet by the swimming pool.

Mum's Marathon

At about the same time I was getting home from a night out, my mum was getting up.

She was reluctantly eating her marathon fuel of porridge when she turned to my dad and told him...

'I can't do this.'

Which is probably the words that the majority of people thought or said at the early hours of the morning, whilst they tried to get ready for what may have been the biggest challenge they have done.

That's normal though. Your body is about to go through 26.2 miles of running, and after all the months of the training, the winter days, the wet weather and having cold fingers after running the 18th mile, the day finally comes when the London Marathon is knocking on your bedroom door.

Luckily this year, there was no rain though!

Sport Relief

Sport Relief has taken over the UK for the week.

From running events, to TV specials (Did you see the Davina programme - incredible!), thousands of people have been finding ways to raise money for people in the UK and overseas.

I was invited along on the final day of fundraising, so was up at the crack of dawn and headed over to the Olympic Park for the Sainsburys Sport Relief Games.

Ciao Italia

Say hello to Frank, who is giving us a quick introduction as to what we would be doing for the day.

Altogether now.... Hellloooo Frannnnkkkk!

Après Ski

After a day of skiing down the slopes, going up the chair lift, bracing the cold as it hits your face whilst you speed down, there is only one thing that will warm you back up.

Après-ski.

Which is French for ‘After Ski’ in case you were wondering. 

It's basically a big party that takes place on the last run down the slopes for the day. You ski down and stop halfway, unclip your skis and mark your poles so you know where to find them later on. (trust me, you will need a little assistance!)

It’s easy to spot where the best Après-ski bars are by seeing how many skis are outside!

Time To Ski

I remember going to Austria for my first ski trip, and having to learn the complete basics of skiing.

Starting with snow ploughs, our instructor would have us slowly moving down the nursery slope until we reached the bottom, falling over a couple of times on the way, and then side step back up to the top.

It was tedious to start with, because all you wanted to do was ski down the mountain and not stop.

Then, after a couple of times of trying, it clicks into place and you can start to say ‘I’m doing it!’ As your experience grows, so does your ability and it becomes second nature to ski.

Nothing beats waking up in the morning, throwing on your salopettes and jacket, and heading up the mountain to start skiing!

We hopped on the ski train and made our way up from Zermatt to the slopes.

Welcome To Switzerland

It's Ski Season!

Which means it is time to grab my skis, get out of London, and head to the Alps for the week.

Can you tell I am a little excited?

Olympic Man Candy: The Butt

"I like big butts and I can not lie,
You other brothers can't deny,
That when a *boy* walks in with an itty bitty waist,
And a round thing in your face,
You get sprung"

Sorry! I don't really know what came over me there. I got a little toooo excited over the Olympic Bums that my inner Sir Mix A Lot came out. It is true though, these olympics are proving enough eye candy on a daily basis to make you go crazy! From the mens diving, to mens gymnastics, to athletics, to the water polo, and even the wrestling, there is eye candy everywhere!

Now it is time for the butt. Those Olympic bums that have filled our screens for nearly two weeks, so much so that you forget what event you are watching. So here we go, the latest in the Olympic Man Candy posts is for the butt.

I mean, it's totally fine to stare at the TV screenw with open jaw, right?!

All together now...

"My homeboys tried to warn me, But that butt you got makes me so horny"

Olympic Man Candy: Ryan Bailey

Whilst Bolt blew away the field on Sunday evening in the 100m final, in true style as always, some of us were asking one question...

Who the hell is Ryan Bailey?!

Who is this guy that has seemed to appeared out of no where to be part of the final. Why haven't we noticed him before and why do we have only 10 seconds to stare in awe at him. Why the hell did I miss him out on the Olympic Man Candy post?!

#EpicFail

Heres a quick recap for you. He is American, 22, he came 5th, and he will be in the 4x100m relay team later this week! Oh, and here are some pictures for you to stare at too... For more than 10 seconds this time!





























Incase you missed him in the 100m final, then watch it again here. He will be on again later this week in the 4x100m relay too!

I know it is bad to not cheer on your own country, but surely the USA have given us a reason to cheer them on instead?
