As the year draws to a close, I am proud to have completed my 9,006km 'Latin American Pentathlon'! Settle in for a round up of the highlights...
https://www.deniseyeats.co.uk/latin-american-pentathlon/mission-complete

So here we are, 340 days later and I have completed my 9,006km Latin American Pentathlon! Looking at my ‘Virtual Mission’ tracker I am actually 14 days ahead of schedule and 356km ahead of my...

11/12/2021

The penultimate week of my challenge and it's been a slightly crazy one in all sorts of ways!
https://www.deniseyeats.co.uk/latin-american-pentathlon/week-47-embracing-my-own-brand-of-bonkers-in-a-world-bugone-slightly-mad

Well it's been a week of press carnage around illegal Christmas parties, the announcement of 'Plan B' and yet another weather storm to contend with. I try not to listen to the news, preferring to...

04/12/2021

Week 46, and why is it that as I near the end of my challenge it seems to be getting more difficult! Not helped by the unpredictable weather, but then it is December I guess...
https://www.deniseyeats.co.uk/latin-american-pentathlon/week-46-the-end-is-in-sight-but-boy-is-it-testing-me

Doesn't this photo look idyllic? Then look at how pink my arms are and you will get a sense of how cold the water is right now, 5deg in the Thames. The weather definitely took a turn at the start of...

28/11/2021

Week 45 saw just shy of 190km completed, some really challenging conditions and an early surprise visit by Santa!
https://www.deniseyeats.co.uk/latin-american-pentathlon/week-45-careful-what-you-wish-for

So there I was wondering when the water in the Serpentine might finally drop below 9deg so that I could tick off my first swim of the Jedi Polar Bear Challenge when it suddenly felt VERY cold this...

21/11/2021

Week 44 - another 180km covered and some great real life and virtual experiences!
https://www.deniseyeats.co.uk/latin-american-pentathlon/week-44-taking-the-time-to-appreciate-the-world-real-and-virtual

The week started off with my first puncture of my challenge. In fact it wasn't even on my bike, but on Ian's 'old jalopy' mountain bike as I was doing my now regular hill reps in the Chilterns....

13/11/2021

A really mixed bag of a week as I start to get my life back after the recent stresses of work!
https://www.deniseyeats.co.uk/latin-american-pentathlon/week-43-starry-skies-burning-thighs-and-puffy-eyes

This week started off on a creative note when Ian and I went to see the Van Gogh Immersive Experience - a little impromptu gift he had booked for me back in August. I had heard of a few people who...

06/11/2021

Week 42 and another shade under 200km completed despite a busy one with work events. And it's time to commence the 'Jedi Bear' cold water swimming challenge!
https://www.deniseyeats.co.uk/latin-american-pentathlon/week-42-let-the-winter-challenge-begin

So no sooner has my wildcard challenge for October been completed but I am into a new 'challenge within a challenge'. The Polar Bear Challenge is a cold open water swimming challenge which...

31/10/2021

Week 41 saw some scary events in true Halloween style! I also managed to cover just over 200km despite the frightening weather.
https://www.deniseyeats.co.uk/latin-american-pentathlon/week-41-scary-things-dark-things-and-this-months-challenge

It's definitely feeling like Halloween! In keeping with the theme, my week started off with an event that wasn't related to any of my sporting disciplines, but was certainly a challenge! I am a...

23/10/2021

It's week 40 and heartening to see I have completed 83% of my challenge in 80% of the time I have set to do it, so hanging on in there! A mix of things happening this week, and not an event for another 10 days, hooray!
https://www.deniseyeats.co.uk/latin-american-pentathlon/week-40-light-skies-heavy-weights-and-cycling-plans

It's been a mixed week. Mostly highs, I mean what is not to love about this sight that greeted me at the Serpentine earlier this week! It's also been a welcome relief not to have any events to run...

17/10/2021

Week 39 has seen me covering just shy of 190km, alongside delivering another event for Carers UK. It's definitely time to take my foot off the gas just a little...
https://www.deniseyeats.co.uk/latin-american-pentathlon/week-39and-breathe

And that, as they say, is a wrap. I can't quite believe I have delivered four events in eight days, something I would never imagine doing in the 'real world'. Yet, as I have said before, I have...

10/10/2021

Week 38 and it's been a hectic work one delivering a series of events for Carers Scotland, but I'm back on track racking up 193km. Balancing off the high intensity with some calming moments in the Serpentine, and some lovely canine interactions.
https://www.deniseyeats.co.uk/latin-american-pentathlon/week-38-the-calm-between-the-storms

Well I am glad I am feeling better this week as I have needed all of my stamina to get through the delivery of three large scale virtual events for Carers Scotland, and continue prep for another...

03/10/2021

Week 37 and, much like my furry friend Pushkin, I have been feeling a bit under the weather. BUT, cheered up by Ian and I's three year anniversary celebrations!
https://www.deniseyeats.co.uk/latin-american-pentathlon/week-37-turns-out-none-of-us-are-indestructible

Yes, much as I hate to admit it, apparently, like my little friend Pushkin here, I am not titanium and am also open to illness or injury. Pushkin is the miniature Schnauzer who lives downstairs who I...

25/09/2021

Weeks 35 and 36 combined to make for some full on activity in terms of training, work and socialising. Plus some nostalgic flashbacks as I would now have arrived in Santiago in Chile, the location of the finish of my actual South American trip back in 2017.
https://www.deniseyeats.co.uk/latin-american-pentathlon/weeks-35-and-36-high-intensity-training-and-socialising

Well it has been quite a couple of weeks! I think the above image sums it up, if I was keen to do more HIIT type activities, then I got that in spades in the past 14 days. I have been juggling the...

12/09/2021

Week 34 of my challenge saw some changes in training from learnings from my 'Menopause for Athletes' course, and moments of joy with a singing night!
https://www.deniseyeats.co.uk/latin-american-pentathlon/week-34-heady-heights-heavy-weights-and-hearty-singing

It's been a week of switching things up and starting to change the way I am training a bit following on from the learnings of my 'Menopause for Athletes' course. Contrary to what public expectations...

05/09/2021

A recovery week filled with the return of much-missed activities. Also the completion of my 'Menopause for Athletes' course, with some real insights learned.
https://www.deniseyeats.co.uk/latin-american-pentathlon/week-33-another-course-completedand-the-welcome-return-of-much-loved-activities

It's been a much needed lower volume week after my long hilly race last weekend. My swimming was also reduced due to the presence of blue green algae at the Serpentine, shutting the lido down until...

30/08/2021

Week 32 and a challenge and a half with the 'Conquer the Chilterns' aquabike event. This certainly helped replicate my virtual challenge which would see me in the heart of the Andes right now!
https://www.deniseyeats.co.uk/latin-american-pentathlon/week-32-completing-an-andean-type-challenge

This was a monthly wildcard challenge and a half! Putting my strong cycling and swimming training to good use I entered a middle distance aquabike event called 'Conquer the Chilterns'. This event was...

22/08/2021

Week 31 completed and trying to stay balanced in a busy one with lots of work, hills, and another wedding!
https://www.deniseyeats.co.uk/latin-american-pentathlon/week-31-trying-to-remain-swan-like-during-a-full-on-weekand-another-wedding

It might have been a 'download week' for training, but it certainly hasn't been a quiet one in terms of work! After a challenging 18 months with little in the way of events contracts coming in I...

15/08/2021

Week 30 saw some interesting training sessions, learning how to stay strong, and going to an event with over 100 people!
https://www.deniseyeats.co.uk/latin-american-pentathlon/week-30-another-familiar-locationand-lessons-in-keeping-a-strong-body-and-mind

With a total of just over 5,400km now completed in my virtual challenge, I would be continuing my path through northern Argentina and once again covering ground that my trusty hybrid bike and I have...

07/08/2021

Week 29 and I'm back on track racking up over 205km, very much spurred on by some amazing moments at the Olympics!
https://www.deniseyeats.co.uk/latin-american-pentathlon/week-29-familiar-sights-resistance-training-and-inspiring-moments

After my real trip up north, I am back on track and managed to rack up the following mileage this week: Cycling: 191.3km Swimming: 8.7km Running: 5.5km This distance of 205.5km would see me arriving...

31/07/2021

It's a two week blog this week as I reflect on FINALLY managing to get to Aberdeen to see my family and friends!
In the virtual world I would also now have left Bolivia and entered Argentina. It's all going on!
https://www.deniseyeats.co.uk/latin-american-pentathlon/weeks-27-28-argentina-by-way-of-aberdeen

Well this has been a LONG time coming! I may be 28 weeks into my Latin American Pentathlon but it had been 83 weeks since I had been able to get home to see my family. Covid 19 had thwarted three...

Have you always been into sport? Interestingly no, as I was badly asthmatic as a child, and it made exercise quite a struggle for me. Then, aged about 18 I heard that swimming could help asthma and I got involved in doing some swimathon events. Well if you are going to swim, why not start with 2.5k!...

18/07/2021

I'm over halfway on my challenge, having completed 4,713km since I started. A great week to get some paddleboarding in, joined by Ian putting the SU into SUP!

https://www.deniseyeats.co.uk/latin-american-pentathlon/week-26-over-halfway

It's a bit of a milestone, 26 weeks in and I have covered a total of 4,713km. That averages out at just over 180km a week, and puts me very much on track to complete my challenge by the end of the...

10/07/2021

Hugely excited this week to receive confirmation that I achieved 93% in the final part of my Ironman Coaching Certification assessment and am now a Certified Ironman Coach!
https://www.deniseyeats.co.uk/latin-american-pentathlon/week-25-i-am-an-ironman-certified-coach

Week 24 of my 'Latin American Pentathlon' saw a range of emotions. Race celebrations, mixed in with some sad doggy news.
https://www.deniseyeats.co.uk/latin-american-pentathlon/week-24-well-what-a-week

It's been quite a week, celebratory times, mixed in with some sad news. First of all, the obligatory look at the distances, and with my 'monthly wildcard challenge' of an aquabike event planned in,...

27/06/2021

Another 193km covered this week, one of ups and downs, but always time for a swimming dog!
https://www.deniseyeats.co.uk/latin-american-pentathlon/week-23-sometimes-you-just-have-to-grin-and-bear-it

Ever have one of those days? Friday was like that for me, it seemed like one thing happened on top of another. I was feeling anxious about work (or lack of) and then saw Rishi Sunak on the news, and...

19/06/2021

Just over 4,000km covered now in my 'Latin American Pentathlon'. A week of high intensity training (and weather!), inspiring conversations, and a well earned night out in London!

https://www.deniseyeats.co.uk/latin-american-pentathlon/week-22-the-calm-before-the-stormand-another-inspiring-conversation

This image I captured in the Serpentine this week sums up the wonderful serene feeling I have being in the glassy water, and this was definitely the calm before the storm in terms of the mixed bag of...

18/06/2021

This week I had the privilege of speaking with blind veteran Maria Pikulski. Despite losing her sight to a rare genetic eye condition in 2003, Maria has gone on to embody resilience and embrace challenge. She has undertaken sky dives, wing walks and many endurance events. Here she shares her experiences of the everyday challenges she faced losing her sight, and also some words of wisdom and optimism for others who are thinking about embarking on their own challenges.
https://youtu.be/y6GKYhd7kMM

In this episode I have the privilege of speaking with blind veteran Maria Pikulski. Despite losing her sight to a rare genetic eye condition in 2003, Maria h...

Week 21 of my challenge and it was a mix of increased mileage, great landscapes, and meeting of a childhood swimming hero!
https://www.deniseyeats.co.uk/latin-american-pentathlon/week-21-finding-joy-in-various-places

After a scaled down week of distance and workload, it was time to up the ante again, both in terms of mileage and intensity. But I also decided to make a conscious effort to notice my surroundings...

London Wine Week returns for 2019. From pop-up wine bars to al fresco parties, decadent dinners and tutored tastings. Venues are right across town, festival passes are free. @londonwineweek https://drinkup.london/wineweek/

A wonderful day of history, singing, and good food and drink at our latest nnoodl adventure. We started with a tour of the fascinating Brunel Museum and enchanting herb garden, followed by a singing workshop, rounded off with lunch at the historic Mayflower. Apparently the harmonies of our rendition of 'Son of a Preacher Man' were applauded by passers by as they drifted up through the shafts of the Grand Entrance Hall. Well done nnoodl adventurers!
