Ready to rock and roll!

Friday, August 28th, 2009

Well yesterday saw the end to my 10 day block, and my last hard block of the year!
This training block couldn’t have gone better. I managed to back up hard session after hard session and now I feel ready to smoke it at the Worlds.  My swimming and running are going especially well which is [...]

Brads Foot!

Wednesday, August 26th, 2009

How close can you come to slicing your toes off in Triathlon? One of my Lagardere team mates Brad Kahlefeldt got his feet caught in spokes at the recent World Championships Series in London! 5 days in hospital, looking to get back into it as soon as possible in time for his home race at [...]

This weekend

Sunday, August 23rd, 2009

I pulled up from London pretty well in the end.
One of my competitors and friends Clark Ellice is down from New Zealand, he’s a good athlete and were getting our heads stuck into this last block of training for just one more hard week this year and it’s gone really well so far. I think [...]

Thoughts on London

Tuesday, August 18th, 2009

London was an interesting race at the weekend. I rocked in 15th so obviously nothing to be proud of!
The swim was really fast this week, probably the fastest I have ever seen it.  It split up so quickly at the front I couldn’t believe it! Hence a good group of fast swimmers got away with [...]

I caught up with Phil Graves

Tuesday, August 11th, 2009

Firstly, Ironman UK and Half Ironman UK Champion, 20years old! They make them tough up in Yorkshire… Everyone is scratching their nuts how you did it! Enlighten us?!
Well, i just swam for a bit, bike pretty hard and ran as fast as could in the hope it would get me across the finishing line first!

How [...]

One week since London Triathlon

Sunday, August 9th, 2009

It’s been a good week really.  Been a bit tired at times, but London didn’t massively bite me in the ass like it should have and races normally do!

You can’t lose much fitness but you could gain a bit in 2 weeks so thats what I have been doing ahead of the London World Championships [...]

Our Thoughts on Recovery

Fish people starting to infiltrate Triathlon!

Wednesday, August 5th, 2009

The swims are getting faster, we knew that anyway…that was before these two rocked onto the scene! Can they really change things?

This is Marco Rivera.  He raced us in the FGP in Dunkerque and a few other races where he was 30 secs off the front of 2nd place.  Guess what, I was watching the [...]

5 mins with Laurent Vidal

Tuesday, August 4th, 2009

Here we go guys, the first of many I hope:)
I have known Laurent Vidal for 6 years, he lives in Sete in France, races for Lagardere Paris Racing, we see each other at races all the time, all over the world and have twice come joint first in FGP’s.  We are developing together in this [...]

Back on it today. Legs are a bit tired still but I did a 4k swim this morning, 1hr run sometime after a sleep nice and easy and a big bike session tonight. The Cambridge Chaingang. Last time I [...]

A Suprise Win at London :)

Monday, August 3rd, 2009

It’s funny! I’m always quick to write something when it’s going well! When it’s not necessarily going well…nothing! Same with a lot of people I think!
London went great at the weekend, I competed at the end of a difficult period for me, motivation wise I felt a bit low, I worked hard in Wales but [...]
