The First Brighton Marathon (2010)

Well done to all [...]

Snowboarding in Mayrhofen 2010

I went snowboarding in Mayrhofen (Austria) last week. I wanted to go back to Austria after doing a season in St Anton before uni, which was just an amazing 6 months.

Quote of the week:

Found this whilst studying for my IDM course,  interesting in that it can be meaningful in so many different areas of my life…in particular in through marketing tactics as well as closed skills for rugby (place kicking) and tricks for snowboarding etc. Probably just as well, given the amount of time I spend watching snowboarding [...]

Fitness First Vs LA Fitness #Brighton

Having experienced both I thought i’d give you a little bit of a review of the two main chain clubs in Brighton. I first joined LA fitness in Brighton about 1.5 years ago. I got a really good deal with Pru Health insurance, this deal has changed and was proving to be not so great after all.
