Joe Gambles is a friend of mine from Australia, who I’ve known for a few years now. We both seemed to start racing the 70.3 events around the same point in time, and last year we finished within 10 seconds of each other at Clearwater …. this year however he has gone on to race [...]

Windy? Yup. Hard work? For sure. Raining?? - Incredibly, no!!
 The Scottish Olympic distance Champs in Gullane kicked off this morning and I headed along hoping for a start (I was on the waiting list). I like to race at home, and I haven’t done it for ages. Especially not in Gullane. In fact, I last raced [...]

Blair and I headed south yesterday morning to be part of the innaugural Total Racing Int.  event in Northumberland. - I wasn’t racing due to feeling less than speedy of late, but hey, Blair threw on his racing flats, ahem, trainers, and climbed the podium with 3rd place!

I would prefer not to write, so I will keep it short and to the point. I didn’t finish yesterday in Prague and I am none to happy about it. Racing for GBR is somthing I don’t take lightly and I hoped to be in contention for a top 5 or better whilst doing so. [...]

I’m headed back to Edinburgh airport again in the morning - first time on a Jet2 plane, first time to Prague; first time in a few years since I headed to Eastern Europe (although I am guess technically its Central Europe) too. - I have my cereal box in the bike bag just in case [...]
