Life Outside Recruitment β Mallorca 2025 π΄π΄ββοΈ
Iβm passionate about recruitment β but outside of work, Iβm also a keen triathlete. Under tri.harder.jm youβll usually find me swimming, cycling, or running, fitting training around family life and work.
On a recent family holiday to Mallorca, I managed to get some serious rides in. Early 6am starts meant I could log on for work afterwards and still have most of the day free for the pool, the beach, and building sandcastles with my daughter.
Balancing Work, Family & Training βοΈ
This trip was a great reminder that balance really matters β and with a little planning, it is possible to make space for all three:
Exercise for wellbeing: Those early morning rides gave me time to clear my head, reset, and come back sharper β proof that looking after physical health pays dividends for mental wellbeing too.
Family first: Thanks to early starts (and a very supportive family!), I could train, be back with fam from 9-10am and still have the day to build sandcastles, jump in the pool. and explore the island together.
Work with passion: Recruitment doesnβt feel like βworkβ when you love what you do. With strong processes in place, I could stay connected without it taking over β and even while away, three candidates secured new job offers!
Mallorca 2025 β Cycling, Family & Balance π΄π΄ββοΈποΈ
Mallorca really is a special place β not just for the cycling, but as a family destination too. By heading out early, I was able to enjoy epic rides while still making it back for breakfast and time with the family.
On the bike, Mallorca delivered in every way:
- 6,864 ft of elevation gain on my biggest ride, including a single climb of 2,818 ft.
- A 70.3 mile loop with three major climbs β a perfect endurance test.
- Sweeping mountain and coastal views that made every climb worthwhile.

Off the bike, it offered just as much:
- Awesome days both in and by the pool.
- Time on the beach and exploring the island together.
- The chance for us all to slow down, recharge, and make memories.
Mallorca gave me the best of all worlds: world-class cycling, real family time, and even a remote office with a view (only when needed - itβs important to keep the balance!).
