Hello and welcome back to Brophy\u2019s blog! It has been an extremely busy few weeks. I am now living in Birmingham and have started my second year of my university course. I am currently recovering from a cold but hope to be back training very soon!<\/p>\n
Training wise I have been doing a lot of running down the canals around Birmingham and the change in scenery is very refreshing. I am in the process of acquiring gym membership at the newly opened gym at Aston University. Sadly there has been a delay in the swimming pool opening until November so I am currently looking at my options regarding that! I hope to have my car up in Birmingham in the next day or two which should give me the option of open water swims in the future!<\/p>\n
The last time I spoke to you myself and Andy Read were preparing ourselves for the Aquathon, and I’m pleased to announce we did pretty well! I manage to come 6th<\/sup> fastest overall for people marked non-club trained and 21st<\/sup> overall where the field was filled with club and county triathlons!<\/p>\n Fund raising wise I am currently planning our next push to hit the magic number to be able to put a deposit down on a support boat! My latest idea is a \u201cBrophy\u2019s Channel Challenge Week\u201d based around Aston University and central Birmingham! So watch this space and if you have any ideas or sponsors let us know on facebook<\/a> or twitter<\/a>. We are always open minded!<\/p>\n Remember to follow us on twitter<\/a>, facebook<\/a> and youtube<\/a> for the latest and up-to-date news!<\/p>\n Thank you for all your support so far!<\/p>\n Brophy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hello and welcome back to Brophy\u2019s blog!
