Hey everyone
I haven’t blogged for quite a while unfortunately mainly because it’s been quite a hectic period for me and I’ve been blogging a lot for Realbuzz which takes up a fair bit of my blog concentration!  So please check out the archives on that if you are interested.  My blogs can be read here.

So, [...]

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 [...]

I’ve been here for 9 weeks now and still loving Australia.  We’ve had an awesome month of weather, just a few overcast rainy days and other than that…too hot if anything! My tank top collection has grown to 6 since my 26th birthday! You won’t catch me wearing anything else now!
The squad is battling through [...]

Just polished off another great week with the squad.
Kathy Tremblay has just arrived from Canada, she’s another Olympian and a great addition to the squad. She’s going to improve fast  We welcomed her into our squad with a posh dinner last night at Glass Restaurant where Clare works.
Today we took our rest day. I [...]

It’s been a good first week on the Gold Coast.
It is a long way to get here though, I’m not going to lie…that journey is a nightmare.
We finally got here 3 flights later and we were greeted by RAIN, lots of RAIN! It’s not really stopped since I’ve been here! We’ve literally not seen the [...]

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 [...]

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 have arrived in Athlone, Ireland for the European Champs.  It’s nice to do a race close to home, with a bit less pressure then when we race on the World stage.  It’s also cool seeing all the British Age Groupers here, it only happens 1/2 times a year for me.  So I’m sure the [...]

The British Triathlon Team are now in Rio Maior, Portugal enjoying a solid week of training, all good! We are here ahead of the European Triathlon Champs in Athlone.  Apparently it’s a really nice race with lots of atmosphere.
Ich is feeling pretty average so far but hoping to come good in the next few days [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

I have been in Iceland for the past 3 days. Was nice to travel without a bike bag! Very refreshing!
I won the trip at a 10k that I did in Hyde Park.  My friend Clayton organised the event and the first prize was an all expenses payed trip to Iceland so Clare and I took [...]

We can always rely on this former European u23 champ to bring laughter to the camp. We payed him £18 to do 50m in the pool.

Personally i haven’t seen it looking that nice yet!

Great camp, got a lot out of it. Thanks to all the various training partners who went out who also helped make it a huge success.
Managed about 28 hrs a week, not loads but considering the amount of intensity, it certainly took its toll and I’m pretty tired today:) Going to absorb some of that [...]

Been in Lanza for 5 days.
Its been great, lovely temperature (for winter).  These Spanish don’t even know what winter is I don’t think!
Nothing special out here, just very consistent training, hitting the important sessions and taking it easy in the recovery.
Today we rode with Dave Mclean.  Don’t think I have ever ridden with someone so [...]

Just arrived in Antequerra (Southern Spain) for our top secret British training camp.
I’m rooming with Captain Slug Eyebrows, Aaron Harris again and so far its not been too bad.  Were not on the rocks yet and no real arguments! It is only day one however.

Spirits in the camp are really good, its the biggest camp [...]

Well I have now arrived back from Thailand where I spent most of my annual break.  Its almost time to get back to the grind…Monday our training starts for real with a new squad structure which will make things a bit different, its about time really to be honest. I am very motivated and excited [...]

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 [...]
