So, it’s been quite a week!

I’m starting to feel a bit rock and roll recently after my new found skills in Hamburg!  I’ve picked up my new BMW 5 Series GT from ELMS Cambridge.  The locals call us the mainies now because we’ve been spending our evenings driving up and down the main street in [...]

The first one ITU race of the year in Mooloolaba is done and dusted.

I ended up 11th and a bit frustrated but optimistic about the big one in Sydney.  To be honest I thought I’d go a bit better then that but unfortunately didn’t have great legs on the day for whatever reason.

The swim was [...]

Had an interesting weekend in Geelong for the race.
I decided to drop in about 5 days out from the race.  I twisted my wrist while I was out running with Brad Kahlefeldt and Emma Moffatt. I thought that as my training is going to be disturbed I may as well turn it into a positive [...]

Meet the team!
As you know Will is out here training with Team Dillon which includes Stu Hayes, Jodie Stimpson, Chris, Kathy Tremblay and coach Michelle Dillon. I took this shot at the pool today before they started, and trust me – they looked a lot different when they finished!!
They are all doing a fantastic [...]

It’s been a while…
My computer has been getting fixed by the ‘Genius’s’ in the Apple store! They can’t be that great, it took them long enough to realise whats wrong with it…
Everything is going well, I am back training for 3 weeks now.  I’m really enjoying training under Team Dillon.  Michelle is a great coach [...]

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 [...]

It’s been a boring week but it’s given me a lot of time to think…
It hit me once I got out of hospital that…”shit, I should be on honeymoon now driving through Nevada!” instead I am spending the day mincing around my parents house in Cambridge with Clare not really doing anything with our lives!
I [...]

It’s been a while since my last blog post! I’m not going to lie…other then a few days its been a rough few months.
As there is so much for me to catch back up on how about I do a timeline for us.
14th August Kitzbuhel World Champs Series…the last time I felt normal.
20th Bike [...]

Well…things haven’t got better since my last post.  Just been trying to relax and enjoy some time off.
It’s been a rough few weeks, I’m not usually a guy who gets problems like this however if I do they blow over within a day.  However this is dragging on like anything.
Eventually my wounds got infected (both [...]

Couldn’t find a suitable picture!
I stacked it a treat on my bike yesterday….Thanks guys for the support.
It almost happened…I got a hole in my cycling shorts and 1cm more to the left would have left me being done for indecent exposure!
Clark Ellice and I were out riding and he put in a sprint…I responded, but [...]

I’m afraid there was no magic again for me in Kitzbuhel this weekend, it’s not been the best season, just a handful of races to be really proud of…I’ll get my excuses out now!
To be honest I’ve just been digging myself into a deeper hole as each race goes on and now I am more [...]

Raced London Tri this weekend.
I tried something different (not sure why in reflection) and it didn’t really worked out but I enjoyed the weekend at my favourite race of the year.
I had a great swim which is nice, I got round without getting beaten up and I had plenty of gas to play with!
Onto the [...]

Great shot my Delly Carr!
Everyone is always super quick to write when they have a good race…
No one ever wants to write about the bad times…however, these are the most interesting and I hate it when people cover it all up with smiley faces as professional sport is not like this.
I am currently in bit [...]

I’m currently at my parents house waiting to race in London.  It was funny this morning and bought me back a fair way to see my Boardman Pro Road bike parked up against my very first bike the Giro 300
When I first got this bike I thought it was top of the range.  I was [...]

After a rough couple of years, my nemesis Olly Freeman is back racing well again and getting better each race. By the way he’s going in training it’s only a matter of time.  After not writing for a year because he didn’t want to write about the lows of Triathlon it’s back up and offers [...]

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 [...]

Finally I’ve started my first taper for the Seoul World Championships Series. It’s awesome…but what a strange feeling!

I think in a sport like triathlon it’s especially difficult to get a taper right.  You have 3 sports to train for so you always think you should be doing something, but if you do too much you [...]

I say all this should I qualify again! I know what a ball ache it is to qualify for the Olympic Games and I am also aware you have to be lucky as well but I get more excited about London 2012 every day…
I first learnt that we were awarded the Olympics while having a [...]

Don’t you just hate those ‘bad days‘…Bit of a Rant here!
Does anyone have any tips on how to handle these days?
Some mornings you wake up and you realise almost straight away you shouldn’t have bothered waking up at all today…
I can always tell when I am on for a bad day, for me it usually [...]

Got back from Spain a few days ago.
Was a tough camp, got in a lot of intensity so feeling pretty smashed. I now have an easy week though to adapt before we make another push! This winter is never ending I tell you.  It doesn’t help that it’s still snowing.  Usually I go to South [...]
