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 [...]

Not long until the next leg of the Dextro World Championship Series, and below is a link to my mini film created by the BBC:
How to win the Hyde Park Triathlon

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 [...]

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 [...]

Wales training camp

Monday, July 27th, 2009

Wow, that’s the first time I have gone a week without internet!
I have spend the last seven days in Wales with coach Rick and Aaron Harris. It was an interesting camp, I didn’t feel particularly good at the start, felt a little ill and run down but came good by the end and only managed [...]

Positivity is the key!

Tuesday, July 21st, 2009

Things are on the up for me. I’m currently on a mini training camp down in Swansea, Wales with my coach Rick Velati and my training buddies Aaron Harris and Abbie Thorrington. We’re already well into out 35 hour week, and things are looking great. I’m feeling strong and happy with the start of this [...]

11th at Hy-Vee but still on track

Sunday, June 28th, 2009

It’s done and dusted!
I finished 11th in a very strong field feeling weak as the whole way round!
I’m not over the moon with my result but my head hit the pillow last night safe in the knowledge that I did everything I could on the day. It was a really tough race for me, In [...]

Another day to burn

Saturday, June 20th, 2009

This time in 24 hours we will be ready to rock and roll again! I’m looking forward to it albeit slightly nervous about getting the result I want to get – – but being in a great city like this distracts you and in a way makes it easier to get the job done and [...]

3rd at Beauvais French Grand Prix

Tuesday, June 16th, 2009

Another race down and it was yet another good hit out in France and a big confidence booster for myself enabling me to have a bit more relaxation with my racing programme and practice some vital racing scenarios. It was spoiled a little bit by the ending but I was happy to rock up get [...]

Big running session tonight…

Tuesday, June 9th, 2009

We did 4×1k on the track + some 200m reps to start us up. You can do as many miles as you like but this is where the magic happens!
I ran a PB session which I was really pleased with. Really feel like my form is coming, there’s no way I was running nearly this [...]

Madrid 2009 Race Report

Monday, June 1st, 2009

Just got back home after my first World Championship series race of the year in Madrid. To be perfectly honest I feel pretty frustrated about my performance. I am analysing it a lot though because the first outing of the year on the World Cup circuit is very strong. 
I really don’t take bad results well [...]
