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 have to give a special post to Stu Hayes…
He won his first World Championships Series this weekend.  It was the best possible field so far and he smashed everyone.
His perseverance payed off, he was going to throw in the towel last year but he came back determined to make it work and pulled of [...]

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 [...]

After London today I thought…I would see how many pegs I can put on my face!
My total was 54…Evidence is below;) No pegs on hair and neck!
I have a ‘worth while’ prize for the person who can put the most pegs on their face…
Submit your picture to me on facebook, twitter, flickr or to my [...]

Wanted to share this video

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 [...]

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 [...]

I’m currently on day no.4 of probably the hardest block I have done this year.  I guess, it’s a “s%$t lets keep this season moving after a bit of a howler at the Europeans.  I spoke to Ben and Joel after the last race and we decided to really press on for 10 days leading [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
