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 [...]

I just wanted to plug two of my friends Blogs.

Conor Murphy is an ex fat Irish accountant, who canned in his job and decided to try for qualification for the Irish Olympic [...]

Today I raced a 5k.
It started at 7am…I have to do a morning run before any race so this time I took my camera…may have looked a bit weird in my running kit at 5:15am carrying a big camera taking shots of the sunrise!

This is the secret though…you gotta get up early if you want [...]

Great video from Jan Frodeno in Africa.  I miss Stellenbosch, awesome place to live/train

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 [...]

Been an interesting week. My lookalike Brad Kahlefeldt took me on some dodgy trail in Nerang! I stacked it twice, he stacked it once and I came away with a very bruised wrist and a nice pair of sore legs from the downhill running!
Trainings been a bit dodgy since then.  I’m struggling to swim! I’ve [...]

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 [...]

Now the Xmas ‘break’ is out the way, training has well and truly resumed and we are settled into the rhythm here in Australia pumping out huge weeks…living and breathing triathlon. I must be training hard because I’m forced to take extra sleep during the day just to get through the week + I am [...]

My sister introduced me to this programme…awesome, check it out

I had a great 2 weeks on honeymoon…actually some of it was a bit of a nightmare but most of it was great and I got on the plane very impressed with my visit to Queensland.

Our only commitment was the Campervan that we rented from Brisbane and also our flight out of Cairns which left [...]

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 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 [...]

A cracking annual report from International Triathlete Tom Curtis.  Don’t know how he comes up with some of this stuff!

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 [...]

Abscess on my hip….

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.

20th Bike [...]
