Early season starter… After a shit past 2 years with broken back then broken clavicle destroying the seasons it was good to get back to racing after a long recovery and winters training. The goal was to qualify for the Challenge Championship and to play it safe on the efforts to not blow up. So some…Read more Challenge Salou 2019

The bike was tough and climbs long, with some  lasting over a 7km and at places a 13% gradient.   Apologies for the delay in posting up this race report but work has been pretty hectic although that has not resulted in any reduction in the training. So back to race… Switzerland…Always sounds beautiful but…Read more Ironman 70.3 rapperswil-jona

It was a great race for early season and reflective of the hard work and new coaching over the past few months.   Since my bike crash last year there have been ups and downs in the recovery process and lots of appointments to get a diagnosis and some treatment. But am on the mend…Read more Outlaw Half 2018 – 1st triathlon of the year!

It has been sometime since my last write up but it’s been a really tough few months…   End of September I was involved in a bike accident where some idiot decided it was ok to reverse around a blind bend at the bottom of a hill with no signs or warnings he was doing…Read more Ironman Florida 2017: Take 2

However, May…Read more Outlaw Triathlon – A lesson in quick fixes!

It was looking like it was going to be a cool day, which in my book is a good day.   I had ran the Barcelona marathon a few times before, with the last being in 2014 so knew it can always be a challenging event due to the heat. However, it’s the luck of…Read more Barcelona Marathon 2017 – 1st race of the Season

Sub 10 at last… Time for the last race of the season…Went out 2 days early and the start of the holiday was not great. I booked the event and accommodation via Nirvana and we stayed at Hotel President as it was simply close to the event and one of the few hotels left when…Read more Ironman Barcelona 2016

Going so well… Made it out to Austria 10 days pre-race and stayed at the race hotel (The Seapark). Had not had the best run into the event as could not get rid of a recurring chest infection in the month running up to the event and also had some type of viral infection in…Read more Ironman Austria 2016

Again I went into the…Read more Outlaw Half Ironman 2016
