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

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 [...]

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!

rubbish day

Saturday, July 18th, 2009

Off to Wales tomorrow with Rick.
I’m looking forward to it I have to say, especially as I’m at Rick’s, I don’t have to do the washing up, laundry, cleaning and when I am not training its chill time…
We have 35hrs planned, I’ve got to say, I think I need it and I need to get [...]

Been a bit quiet!

Monday, July 6th, 2009

That’s because my head is well and truly down this week…after that nightmare journey back it put me in panic mode before Kitzbuhel World Championship Series! Wanted to get back into my training as quick as possible, start my aerobic work and basically train straight through Kitzbuhel with one day easy before to give myself [...]
