So the racing has begun – 2009 is well under way and I’m delighted to have kicked it off with a 2nd place on Sunday in Buffalo City, East London. I started to get a little ahead of myself around 30k on the bike – got a tad excited shall I say, as I reckoned [...]

I’m in East London now after flying up the coast from Cape Town yesterday morning. I travelled up with Blair, who as I said has been out here with me for a couple weeks plus my training buddy in Stellenbosch, Tim Don. Our bikes and gear all rolled off the bagage belt in one piece and [...]

We arrived in Clearwater this afternoon. Finally, its nearly race time! We got registered, and I did some tv stuff for a programme channel 4 will run in December time at home, which is nice. This 70.3 thing is catchin on…..!

There is just one week left till the Foster Grant Ironman World Championship 70.3 in Clearwater, and I am heading over to the same great homestay I enjoyed last time with Carolyn, and also Julie Dibens. We were there in Arpil [...]
Here are a few shots that Iain from www.imacimages.co.uk took of us a couple weeks back. From right to left; Alun Woodward, myself, Toby Jameson and Graeme Stewart. All except Graeme are racing in Clearwater at the World Championship Ironman 70.3 in just under 3 weeks time.
I was luck enough to head along to the Competitor studio whilst in town in August, and you can listen to it at www.competitorradio.com/details.php?show=258
But i wasn’t the first Scottish multi sport athlete to hang out with Babbit and Huddle . . . . . .
Alhough it is nearing the end of the season for many folk, i’m still looking further down the road. The 2008 Foster Grant Ironman World Championship 70.3 in Clearwater, Florida is a mere 8 weeks away, and it is a big goal or mine.
