Notice how you didn’t get a race report straight after Paris…
It didn’t go to plan!  A combination of getting screwed over by the race official and our rival teams and tiredness heading into the race from that 10day block! It hurts having a bad race….even if you can justify it.  We were meant to take [...]

We had a fun weekend at the European Championships this weekend in Athlone.
Firstly well done to Alistair (getting boring saying it) and Lucy who won the Juniors.  Also to everyone else who raced and didn’t get medals.  Everyone put their best effort in and “you can only hold your heart rate at 180 for so [...]

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 [...]

I’m on the flight from Madrid over to Des Moines after racing the World Champs Series.
It didn’t go great to be honest, It was far from the result I was expecting.  I didn’t see the move and the race moved away before my very eyes! Quite frustrating really but major fault by me for not [...]

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 [...]

Our flights to Ireland were cancelled like all the other thousands of flights around Europe!  I feel for the people who are stranded abroad.  It sounds like fun but I bet they are spending a fortune and getting really stressed out about not being able to get back to their normal lives now!  Hope it [...]

Raced National Duathlon Champs as my first race of the season today.

Must say, it was bloody good to get racing and get away from the training phase if only for a short weekend.
It was a very windy and very exposed circuit, and a good field!  There was Tim and I, I guess as the favourites. [...]

Massive congrats to Nessie! My Triteam team mate had a really solid race to finish 4th in Abu Dhabi.
The race had a 3k /200k/ 20k format and to boot a fantastic prize purse.

Good start to the season Fraser….long may it continue!
1 ) Eneko Llanos 6:34:37

Very sorry for lack of blogging!
I am now on Holiday in Thailand with my Fiance and my friends. We are having an incredible time.  The weather has actually been pretty shocking…but we did see the sun today:) For the first few days we were still on the beach though because we are Brits and however [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

I stumbled across a small article from Bevan Docherty just now.
It’s an interesting situation that myself and a lot of other athletes are finding ourselves in. The races just keep following the same trend at the moment. Fast swimmers get a gap in the swim, motivated they give their all on the bike and we [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
