Season’s done (pretty much)

Tuesday, September 13th, 2011

I am back home now after a tough past month of training and racing, but my season is now finished now and I’m really excited to relax and recover after my best ever year.
Since my last blog it all started to slip through my fingers a bit!  I picked up a bit of a niggles [...]

London World Series

Monday, August 8th, 2011

Just got home from London.  What a fantastic weekend.
14th wasn’t the result I was hoping for but I’m happy with my effort.  I was 3rd best Brit which I’m happier with as it hopefully looks favourably towards me with the Olympic selectors.  To be honest the race didn’t suit me yesterday, It’s not how I’ve [...]

A big result in Kitzbuhel!

Tuesday, June 21st, 2011

Hello everyone.  I just got back to Loughborough after a longer then necessary days travel!  Phew I’m tired and my legs are way sore! Let’s not waste any time though, every day counts and it’s back to the grind but this time with heaps of motivation after a wicked weekend in Kitzbuhel!
What a difference to [...]

Howler in Madrid

Wednesday, June 8th, 2011

I had a lot of fun this weekend in Madrid. It was good to be back on tour with the GB gang and I spent some good time with the team and also some good friends from other countries!

It’s the 6th time I’ve been to Madrid.  Same course, (It’s still bloody difficult) the same Italian [...]

Saturday, October 30th, 2010

It’s been a decent week…I’ve actually turned the DVD played off finally and I’ve been getting the blood flowing with some yogging…or it might be Jogging?!  It feels so nice to be out there amongst the clouds and mud.  I’m not feeling too bad so far which is crazy!  I’m even envisaging winning again and I’m [...]

Some Snappy Snaps!

6th in Des Moines World Cup

Tuesday, June 15th, 2010

That’s a big few races done and done.  I’m pretty happy with my result in Des Moines today.  I wanted to make up for a bad result in Madrid and thankfully I redeemed myself.

‘My team’ sent me the analysis from Madrid.  I found it really useful and soon found out that the problem was I [...]

Pre Des Moines

Saturday, June 12th, 2010

It’s been a great week over here in Des Moines.

Our awesome homestay hosts Kerrie and Jason have gone well overboard to make us feel very welcome.   I feel so relaxed leading into the weekend that I could be racing in at home! It’s certainly a far cry from the usual waiting game based in a [...]

Back on Tour

Friday, June 4th, 2010

I just arrived in Madrid. Probably the road trip that I have most been looking forward to.  After this battle I will be heading directly to Des Moines for the big money race.  Madrid is my priority though…I will give all I have here and then for Des Moines I will give what I have [...]

Post Worlds

Friday, September 18th, 2009

Well, not been up to much to be honest!
We had a couple of nights out in Gold Coast after the race, both were awesome and it was fantastic to go out and relax with all the guys who I race week in, week out. It was a nightclub full of lightweights!

We chilled out on Saturday [...]

Two days away

Thursday, September 10th, 2009

Hey gang.
2 days out from the race now…still feels like a long time! To be honest, its been pretty boring the past few days! I can’t wait to get this one ticked off.  I don’t know what the forms like, I have completely forgotten about the cracking block of training I completed almost two weeks [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

5 mins with Laurent Vidal

Tuesday, August 4th, 2009

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 [...]

Hard day at the office again

Sunday, June 21st, 2009

Always a pleasure racing World Championships Series events!  Its a good job I didn’t write this post a few hours ago because I wasn’t a happy bunny!
What a race.  I’m tired but want to get the info to you tonight so I’m gonna write it in a wacky time line.
Saturday
14:00 Went to swim practice, found [...]
