This year is going well and I really feel that I have got my goals back in my head giving me something to work towards and something to get up and out of bed and out in this cold weather. I did a club duathlon last weekend which I always see as bench mark and…

Oh dear, last week just burnt me out through the training and cold and I’ve had to back off in a big way this week to recover…and listen to my body. I hate doing nothing as it makes me feel lazy and thus guilty. Life is getting busy at the moment with Christmas responsibilities and…

A full week of good training with technique swim set, very good turbo session, a run down with Killamarsh Kestrels and squeezed in a cold bike ride on Saturday. Sunday after a very cold family bike ride I did the Sheffield Tri Westfield Aquathlon. These are great to give you little bench mark goals to…

New sponsor Alert. Blueseventy have decided to sponsor me which I am ecstatic about and can’t wait to get some gear and put it through some training sessions. A big thank you to my mate Matt Emerson who pointed me in the right direction.

Registration had happened the day before which gave us a chance to meet our competitors and finalise categorisation. My category Tri3 had a total of 10 athletes.

I finally got into my training schedule again this week and it is great. Building up for a few PB’s in preparation for the Worlds. Did a 10K tail run on Sunday which was in the woods behind me and I did really well and I was pleased that I didn’t push myself 100%…only 90%….

Great race at Rother valley, blitzed it, loved it and pushed myself to the max. I came 8th in Sheffield Tri and was 60 seconds in front of my training partner Phil. I came 17th in my age category which is interesting and I know I couldn’t have gone any faster. Most pleased with my…
