8th in Dunkerque

Tuesday, May 24th, 2011

Lots of racing this weekend.  Well done to my training buddies who raced in Strathclyde, Joel Jameson in his really great Ironman debut (4th in Lanzarote) and everyone else who raced!  What a weekend!
Dunkerque wen’t well I guess…actually very mixed feelings about it really.

I had to train right up to this one because I have [...]

Nice French Grand Prix

Tuesday, April 26th, 2011

Racing for Lagardere in the French Grand Prix is probably my favourite racing for the year.  It’s always a pleasure to meet the gang who by now are really good friends.  We always have a laugh and the other great thing is it’s usually just a 1hr flight away! In on Saturday back home on [...]

Dunkerque FGP

Monday, May 24th, 2010

Had a good weekend in France.  Great weather, great racing and great company with Team Lagardere Paris Racing.
Picked up heaps of cool kit as usual.  I always feel very spoilt by the team, although the hotel always leaves something to be desired!

Race morning I was feeling good.  Woke up at 6:15 with excitement.  I trained [...]

Dunkerque French Grand Prix this Weekend.

Wednesday, May 19th, 2010

I return trip from Korea went pretty smoothly and the most difficult trip of the year is forgotten! Don’t get me wrong I felt like crap when I arrived back from Asia hTe jet lag can be really tough, I’m not sure my body really knew where it was when I arrived back. 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 [...]

French GP – Australia

Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009

Got to Australia fine, bloody long flight, I really hate that journey but its a nice treat when you get here…its beautiful.
French Grand Prix went badly, It was a little bit inexplicable. I wasn’t hurting…just couldn’t get any more out.  I think its a combination of getting towards the end of the year and also [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
