Ironman Weymouth 70.3 was my last race of the year. As like most of my season, I had a less than ideal run up with a rib injury. I had to make a decision to race or not to race on the week up to it. I had 2 choices, with a very strong argument …

Hever Castle English National Championships
In July, I raced in the English National Middle Distance Triathlon Championships at Hever Castle. The previous couple of weeks had been a bit hit and miss with my training whilst carrying a few niggles. So I knew that coming into this race I would have a hard time and also the course was going …

Eton Dorney Standard Tri
Just a week after racing the Cotswold 113, I took part in the Eton Dorney standard tri (1500m swim, 40k bike and 10k run). This weekend was slightly different to normal. Instead of going with my parents as I usually would, I went with a couple of T3 team mates, which made it great fun. …
Cotswold 113 2021!
Sunday 6th June, I competed in the Cotswold 113 middle distance triathlon. 1.2 mile (1.9Km) swim, 56 mile (90km) bike & 13 mile (21km) run. The run up to the race wasn’t ideal in my eyes, after falling off my bike on bank holiday Monday and my bike shifters not working on Friday, I went …
My First Win
Earlier in the week I decided to race the Newbury Race Course half marathon today. It has been a little while since my last stand alone half marathon race, which was most likley the Milton Keynes half in 2019. So it was fun to get back out there. Leading into this race, I had a …

Cotswold 113 2020
This years Cotswold 113 was a little different, athletes started in waves based on your surname in alphabetical order. The waves were in 15 minute blocks and within the wave athletes started 5 seconds apart. The wave I started in was wave 2 which started between 7:15 – 7:30. Another change was that we initially …
Plans for the blog and my next race
I just want to start by saying, during these difficult times I hope that everyone has stayed safe and remained in good health. I thought now as I have entered my first race of the year, the Cotswold 113, it would be a good time to explain what I have been doing the last few …
