SLUMP…

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 of a slump unfortunately.  I am having issues on the coaching front which isn’t helping and got a lot of sorting out to do for the rest of the season and the next two years.
This is reflecting in my racing which is kind of unavoidable. At this level unless you are tip top in the body and maybe more importantly the head then its GAME OVER!
It’s been a few bad races now and I’m trying to claw myself back into contention but it’s difficult because there is not much time to make changes. (Just a 10day block and a 2 week block left!) unfortunately I have to do the best with what I have got and aim to get my winter right.
I’m trying to get on top of it in time for London Triathlon and I will give you the big low down once the year is finished!
Thanks for everyone who came out to support me and the other boys/girls in London. Â Sorry I couldn’t perform for you, massive congratulations to Johnny Brownlee with his 2nd, and also Helen Tucker for her Bronze. Â Some athletes from Great Britain are flying!
I’m going to go work out how to get myself up there….

Hello
I wanted to check your web site and I thought to myself: he won’t write anything today… and what a surprise! It’s not really often when athlete has something to say after bad race. It’s common when you are bombed by “!yeah_super, great_what a race:)!” only after good results (but there are also athletes who don’t like to write a a lot : “it’s good to win today or it’s good to be world champion today or really pleased with win at euro champs today…)
I was triathlete one day. After my best year (2006- 12th at U23 world champs) I quit triathlon. I thought that it is impossible to reach such high level (like Clarke for example:) After my disappointing races in 2007 I decided to have a “real” job etc. I didn’t realised what I was missing. My post became too long so all I want to say is: enjoy this superb sport as long as you can and I’m sure that results same as in 2006 will come again. Good luck!

As I was making my way towards a Hyde Park exit gate after watching the elite race (shocking to see Alistair Brownlee break down like that) I was really surprised to see you back on your bike and zooming around a corner so soon after putting yourself through 1hr and 45 mins of pain (a warm down?)I thought to myself ‘that’s what you call dedication’! Am sure it will get you the results you want.
