Life Outside Recruitment – Mallorca 2025 🌴🚴‍♂️

Life Outside Recruitment – Mallorca 2025 🌴🚴‍♂️

I’m passionate about recruitment — but outside of work, I’m also a keen triathlete. Under tri.harder.jm you’ll 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 ⚖️

This trip was a great reminder that balance really matters — 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 — 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 doesn’t feel like “work” when you love what you do. With strong processes in place, I could stay connected without it taking over — and even while away, three candidates secured new job offers!

Mallorca 2025 – Cycling, Family & Balance 🌴🚴‍♂️🏖️

Mallorca really is a special place — 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 — 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 - it’s important to keep the balance!).
