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 [...]

I’m on the flight from Madrid over to Des Moines after racing the World Champs Series.
It didn’t go great to be honest, It was far from the result I was expecting.  I didn’t see the move and the race moved away before my very eyes! Quite frustrating really but major fault by me for not [...]

Probably get a bit nailed for this post…
One think that really annoys me about Triathlon is the amount of World Championships there are about and in-fact, the amount of races there are in the World.  It’s crazy how many top level races there are kicking about.
I would love to see one World Championships and the [...]

I just watched the coverage from the World Champs…I hope everyone see’s this video.  It made me really proud to be part of Triathlon at this level. It looks so impressive, inspirational and professional!  Good job Alistair and the ITU and bring on 2010! I feel inspired…but not before my holiday in Thailand!

London was an interesting race at the weekend. I rocked in 15th so obviously nothing to be proud of!
The swim was really fast this week, probably the fastest I have ever seen it.  It split up so quickly at the front I couldn’t believe it! Hence a good group of fast swimmers got away with [...]

Will Clarke finished in awesome 7th with 52 secs behind winner Alistair Brownlee.
Bravo!
More info will follow…
Check results here.
Post something on Will’s facebook wall.

Always a pleasure racing World Championships Series events!  Its a good job I didn’t write this post a few hours ago because I wasn’t a happy bunny!
What a race.  I’m tired but want to get the info to you tonight so I’m gonna write it in a wacky time line.

Another race down and it was yet another good hit out in France and a big confidence booster for myself enabling me to have a bit more relaxation with my racing programme and practice some vital racing scenarios. It was spoiled a little bit by the ending but I was happy to rock up get [...]

Clare and I finally got everything done today and left Loughborough to begin our next trip in France and America. We are staying at my parents house tonight in Cambridge before heading to France tomorrow on the Eurostar for a change.  I’m racing the 2nd installment of French Grand Prix in Beauvais. We are then staying [...]

Just got back home after my first World Championship series race of the year in Madrid. To be perfectly honest I feel pretty frustrated about my performance. I am analysing it a lot though because the first outing of the year on the World Cup circuit is very strong. 
I really don’t take bad results well [...]

It’s all very smooth at the moment. Reminds me a little bit of my 2006 season! I hope it continues and we can build on it.
I grabbed my 2nd win of the season on Sunday in Dunkerque for the 2nd French Grand Prix. Its a great weekend and as it was so close to England and [...]
