Woohoo! I won! It was 2 years and 3 attempts coming, but I secured a victory in East London on Sunday finally - and it felt good for sure. It’s not easy to win a race these days, so I am more than happy with how I coped on race day to do just that.

I’m home, I’m unpacked (well, the bike can well and truly stay where it is for a little longer, let’s not get carried away) and feeling a lot closer to human after the travel. Therefore I have had some time to reflect properly and objectively about Clearwater at the weekend. I still stand by my initial [...]

I just got a couple of nice images from the weekend drop into the inbox. - Inside the last 5k of the bike, as I took the race lead. Pity I didn’t hold onto it for a bit longer ….. I’m working on that though. As Toby would say “drop ‘em like they’re hot”.

Despite racing over the 70.3 distance last weekend I had a plan b for this weekend if the legs felt willing … thankfully by Saturday morning they had started to come around and by Sunday morning they felt like my own once again. Just.

3rd place wasn’t what I went to Wimbleball Lake for, but given it was - on reflection - probably the toughest race I’ve finished so far in my career, I’m content with a podium; my 6th on the 70.3 circuit.
More to follow when i wake up ‘tomorrow’ - its nearly 4am right now after driving back up North, [...]

I had a fun day today - firstly racing, and then mostly helping out - at the Stirling Triathlon which included the Scottish Schools Championships.
I like racing at home when I can, and the Stirling Triathlon Club have been very supportive of me so far, making it all the more worthwhile being able to give a little something back [...]

It’s taken a while, but I was able to get back to winning ways and defend my 2008 title yesterday at the TriAthy Triathlon in Athy, Ireland. Despite there being plenty to improve upon, the result marks a positve step in the right direction for me as the season rolls on in earnest.

After what feels like an awfully long time, I am now back in Escondido from the ‘Wildflower trip’. It was a long one I’ll tell you that! But a load of fun nontheless, and most importantly I finished. Without leg pain. About bloomin’ time….

Just a quick race update from this morning here in St Petersburg - 14th place, 1:53:16. My leg didn’t hurt either (well, they collectively ‘hurt’ as a pair, but my sore spot didn’t hurt!) - and that is progress in the land-of-Fraser right now, let me tell you. (And I even outsplit the fastest girl on [...]

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 [...]

Sunshine. It happens en Ecosse you know….
Nearly October? Swimming in the sea, and in SCOTLAND??
Yup, needs must, and well, I hadn’t raced a Championship event at home this year. Plus, David had won two events this year already, so I figured he’d had enough already!! Just kidding. Well, not really.

I tried to suggest that it should be the first place that goes in the middle. But Welsh logic whilst pointing right (my) to left says ‘first, second and third’. Thanks to Evan Dobson for the picture.
