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, [...]

I hope you all had a great season this year! I certainly did and I enjoyed some nice relaxing time off to recover the body and the mind!  I holidayed in Ibiza for 3 days and then 2 weeks cruising around Florida with Clare in a convertible for our more chilled holiday!  I definitely wouldn’t [...]

Morning everyone I hope you are enjoying this extended summer we are having here in the UK!  I’m pretty chuffed, apart from our holiday we usually miss out on weather like this as by the time it’s time to take a break Autumn is well and truly under way.
I’m having a great break so far. [...]

I am back home now after a tough past month of training and racing, but my season is now finished now and I’m really excited to relax and recover after my best ever year.
Since my last blog it all started to slip through my fingers a bit!  I picked up a bit of a niggles [...]

Just got home from London.  What a fantastic weekend.
14th wasn’t the result I was hoping for but I’m happy with my effort.  I was 3rd best Brit which I’m happier with as it hopefully looks favourably towards me with the Olympic selectors.  To be honest the race didn’t suit me yesterday, It’s not how I’ve [...]

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 [...]

I’m currently out in Lanzarote doing a big block of training ahead of London World Championships Series. I pulled up pretty well from Hamburg all things considered and went straight into hard training out here.
Club La Santa is an awesome place to train, Conor Murphy an Irish athlete joined me for my biking and swimming [...]

I’m currently on the plane to Lanzarote ready to get back to some hard preparation ahead of London World Championships Series, but I’ve got a massive smile on my face because this weekend I finally got myself onto the podium in Hamburg which is my first time ever in a World Championship Series. I [...]

Hello everyone.  I’m currently sitting on the EZ 145 flight from Munich to London Stansted, I was on the exact same flight two weeks ago returning from Kitzbuhel excitedly writing my blog after one of my best ever races.  Here I am again sitting in same inhumane position they like to put us in writing [...]

Hey everyone, I had an awesome weekend. I enjoyed the uncharacteristically hot 2 days that we had and did lots of hard training to keep the body topped up in this rather intense period of racing!  I got so used to the hot weather in Australia but these two days threw me…I couldn’t sleep properly and [...]

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 had a lot of fun this weekend in Madrid. It was good to be back on tour with the GB gang and I spent some good time with the team and also some good friends from other countries!

It’s the 6th time I’ve been to Madrid.  Same course, (It’s still bloody difficult) the same Italian [...]

This weekend was the first round of the Bundesliga in Paderborn Germany.  I decided last year that I’d like to compete in the Bundesliga after 6 years of competing in mostly the same races.  I’m really pleased I did because I really enjoyed this weekend and it was awesome to experience new races.

Rainer & Sabine [...]

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 [...]

My awesome sports nutrition sponsor Multipower have created a competition to win an exclusive training break to Club La Santa on the 18th-21st July.
Club La Santa is an awesome place to visit for any athlete.  You’ll enjoy swimming in their 50m outdoor pool meanwhile getting a deep bit of bronzage! Cycling up Mirador Del Rio [...]

It’s not arrived yet but can’t wait till it does.  Boardman has launched a new range for 2011…
The Brownlee’s chose the AiR 9.8
I chose this one.  It’s the climbing frame. I originally ordered the AiR but then I saw this the other day in the Cycling Weekly offices and thought it looked AMAZING.  I personally [...]

Currently I am half way through a big block of hard work which will carry me through a heap of races in France for my team Lagardere, Germany for my Bundesliga team Buschhutten and the World Champs Series races in Madrid and Kitzbuhel.  I’m currently ranked 9th in the World and want to try to [...]

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 [...]

This weekend I competed in the opening round of the ITU Triathlon World Series in Sydney before I headed back home after 4.5months.

I had a really good winter this year and was waiting for a good result, I was a little bit frustrated with my first 2 races out here in Oz but came good [...]

I’ve been swimming for 19 years but I’ve never been very good…
I work very hard in the pool but it’s still always been a struggle for me.
If all the ITU guys in the world did a test set in the pool I’d probably in the bottom 20% in ITU racing.
Sometimes I beat guys out the [...]
