Bristol seems like a long time ago now. Two weeks before the race I came off my bike, which I did manage to write about. After that I did everything I could to heal quickly. My main failing was that I couldn't find any hydrocolloid dressing...

After watching most of the lake swim we wandered along a bit of the bike course to find an interesting spot to take photos. We didn't manage to find any inclines so we walked back to the turn around point to shoot the cyclists as they slo...

I am racing next weekend. After the crash I was sure I'd race but earlier in the week after the reality of my road race and bruising set in, I seriously wondered if I would be fit. Monday I searched everywhere for Duoderm hydrocolloid d...

I suddenly seem to have more events and races planned than I thought, although the relative importance of these has changed. My Race Schedule....

I am not sure how if I feel abut my past race. Frustrated, calm, or wise deciding to learn from this experience. My 70.3 race was held this past saturday. For whatever reason the race was determined to start at 12:30 noon. A race held...

Yesterday was the final VO Two Long swim, having not swum for a while I am happy with the time of 53:44, 50s slower than South Cerney. Looking forward to next week, HSBC Triathlon....

I took part in the first of the votwo long swim series yesterday. Was an enjoyable race, 3 laps around a picturesque lake. Definitely a good race for anybody planning to do a long distance triathlon, especially because its a nice area to...

I would currently love to be posting a great little report here about how I nailed Blenheim, but alas it is not to be. I stood by the car with my kit and considered what I will be taking with me. I did not forget to take my bike to transi...

Planning the next four weeks of my training with my coach Andy, it suddenly dawned on me that my first triathlon race of the 2013 season is exactly 4 weeks away! It also occurs to me that for the first time ever I won’t need to worry abou...

After the lake swim and the flat bike course was a nice (3 lap) Half Marathon around the lakes. (for more photos check out our facebook and flickr photo galleries) Cotswold Classic 2012 Facebook Photo Gallery:|-*-|:http://www.facebook.co...

Sarah and I went to watch the Cotswold Classic Middle Distance Triathlon today. The weather and scenery was beautiful, wish I hadn't had to get out of bed at 4.45am! Here's a few of my favourite photos from the day. 6am start! The water ...

I've been a bit quiet lately. I haven't fallen off the treadmill but it has been a bit of a squeeze time wise hence the lack of time for writing. Before I knew it I was a week out from Lakeside and running about worrying about all sorts of...

Entering events always makes everything seem a lot more real. As we are rapidly hurtling towards the main season now I knew I had to get my act together and enter the warm up events I'm planning on before the main deal - London 2012.  O...

The training time for last week was low, but was the run up for a race. Missed long run yesterday and my intervals on Friday. Raced in the HSBC Triathlon yesterday, finishing time of 1:12:58. Leg Splits: S - 11:40 T1 - 1:58 B - ...

Maximal HR test was postponed from last week so is going to be tonight or Thursday. Now then, following my interesting week last week including falling down the stairs, I had my mamouth weekend of events. The Sun Run, a scout event,...
