Last week we got a whole load of inspiration from Viv who kickstarted our Monday Motivation Blogs! This week we’ve caught up with another amazing member of Tri Energy – our nutter Jennie. Jennie’s main race this year – Race to the Stones – was cancelled but that didn’t stop her completing her own epic...
Over the next few weeks on a Monday, we’re going to share an ‘athlete under the spotlight’ with you, to provide you with a bit of motivation for the week! These are ordinary people, achieving extraordinary things! We hope it sets you up well for the week ahead! Kicking us off for week 1 is...
One of our fabulous athletes Roxy, recently shared with us her open water kit bag that’s proved a useful ‘checklist’ for members as they prepare for their outdoor swimming. We’ve stolen Roxy’s awesome post (with permission) along with other good suggestions from club members (including our swim guru that is the legend of Granny Jac)...

Triathlon by it’s very nature is addictive. It can be totally consuming and lead us to neglecting other areas of our life. And whilst you think it may be key to focus solely on training in order to succeed, we believe that a balanced approach to triathlon optimises performance whilst minimising the chance of experiencing unnecessary...
Thank you so much to everyone who took part in our virtual 5km run series! Starting back on the 23rd March, it’s kept so many of you going for the last 13 weeks and we’re so impressed with your motivation, dedication to run and the excitement of the leaderboard changing each week! We’ve consolidated this...
I was meaning to write a blog post last week on mental health awareness week and the importance of exercise for mental well-being but I just didn’t have time last week. It was one of those week’s where I was rushing around, getting not a lot done and it made me chuckle how ironic that...
The Virtual 5k Series has seen an amazing amount of running done by over 64 competitors over the last 10 weeks!
It’s the middle of April and triathletes around the globe are getting the itch to jump into a race, Tri Energy members included! With nearly every triathlon through to the end of June cancelled or rescheduled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it looks like it will be awhile before we can line up for a swim/bike/run affair. You'd think this would mean motivation was at an all time low and we'd be losing the will to train - well not in our TRISOLATION squad! We've already done a few virtual races but this weekend saw our first race across the whole weekend; through Friday to Sunday with a run - bike (or circuits challenge) - and another run.
With the open water swim venues now open in the UK, it’s a good time to start turning your lengths in the swimming pool into laps of the lake! Having ventured out with some friends for my first Open Water dip of the year last month (a frosty 11 degrees) the lakes now seem to have warmed up slightly to make it a far more pleasurable experience! If you’re new to open water swimming it can all seem rather daunting: the kit, the equipment, the murky water, the cold water, the fish, the plants, the distance and so on and so forth. But don’t let these factors become barriers to put you off...
