This is the first in a series of episodes called The Slough Demos. Mainly about what it was like growing up in Slough in the 1980s as a teenage triathlon nerd. TSP2: The Speed And The Sweat was about the first triathlon I ever did. In May 1989 in Wokingham. And these episodes will kind of follow on from that. With some prequel stuff too.
Part 1 is a running tour of Slough that you can do to get an overview of the triathlon history that exists there. The inspiration for this episode came from a YouTube video on the Ginger Runner channel. It’s with Ben Gibbard from the band Death Cab For Cutie. And he describes a 46 mile run he did through Seattle visiting famous local music landmarks.
Enjoying learning more about Slough!
Note: I had a few technical problems with this one. I've got a new portable recorder. And I'm not yet accustomed to setting the correct levels for different situations. I'll probably re-record it. Cheers. Ross.
