So tomorrow morning I’m racing an Ironman again - Tempe, Arizona. I’m excited to have a shot at the long stuff again, as its been a little while since I last gave it a go. Quite some time actually. That being said it (like most things in life) seems to have rolled around much sooner than [...]
As I’ve admitted, my blogging has been at best, poor over the past couple of months, but that’s not to say that I don’t have anything to blog about. Quite the opposite – it’s probably been the most busy and fun 60 days I’ve been lucky enough to have because of triathlon! I thought I would [...]
Careful, don’t you go falling off that chair now… I mean it! – It’s been a ‘lenghty while’ shall we say but I’m back on it and ready to give you some race reports. Promise, but I can’t promise anything regarding the quality control processes in place. I’ll try my best, as always
Post [...]
Well, I really must start off with an apology for the distinct lack in material on my site of late … truth be told i’m just having too much darn fun to find the time to blog! Excuses excuses… I know. However, I am going to start to fill the ‘race report’ holes from the [...]
Vegas baby! I just thought i’d better get that out of the way quickly…clear the air and all Sunday was a tough day in a lot of ways – tough bike ride, tough run course, tough climate and tough competition (it was Worlds after all) but mostly tough as my stomach didn’t read [...]
On Sunday afternoon I was on the start line of the richest race in Triathlon, alongside 29 other happy athletes … with over a million dollars being divied up over the course of the days racing and guaranteed prize money simply for finishing (a la Tennis and Golf to name a few other sports) we had [...]
Later today I will start in the Des HyVee 5150 olympic distance event … and I can’t wait to get going with it – excited indeed! This was an unexpected race for me, but I’m taking it with both hands!
The race is going to be live on the web at www.hy-veetriathlon.com so hopefully you can [...]
I tend to be lazy when it comes to having my hair cut … and this trip to Boulder has been no exception. I do believe that when I arrived here some 6+ weeks ago I was suggesting I would need to get it chopped soon. Well, it took till today and I reckon I [...]
Fraser Cartmell placed 4th at Ironman 70.3 Racine:

Nice return to longer racing!
Bravo!
Keep the ball rolling! – One week on from the season debut at the Scottish Sprints it was up a distance notch for the UK round of Ironman’s new olympic distance 5150 Series in Liverpool at the weekend. The race was higher profile and a little bit busier than last weekend shall we say, so I was looking forward [...]
Fraser Cartmell is rebooting… Please be patient…
Hello from South Africa! First things first – I am back in Stellenbosch, where I have spent this time of year for the past 3 winters … but phew I had forgotten how hot is it out here at this time of year! - A far cry from the cold and chilly weather I left behind in Edinburgh last [...]
Ironman was something I have always been in awe of since I started to race triathlon – the distances alone are pretty crazy when you sit down and actually think about them! – but from the start of the year Ironman UK has been a firm target for me and that ensured I was always looking forward [...]
Just a very quick message to say THANKYOU to everyone who has messaged, emailed, phoned and got in touch to say well done – I am (yet again this year!) over the moon with the result from the w/e in Bolton.
The wonderful aspect of racing an Ironman at home in the UK was being able to [...]
It’s always nice to have some new bits of gear, and since I started to race for the new team I’ve been sent exciting parcels from California on a regular basis. On that note I got a email from Ben over at K-Swiss a couple days back to let me know the new ‘team shoes’ are ready for action [...]
It’s been a while since I have been able to log a race report, so i’ll throw a quick one together here. I’m back in Stirling, it’s not raining, Spring is coming and I have (more than) survived my first long race of this year. It’s all good really.
Crossing the line to congratulations from 2nd place finisher [...]
It’s home time for us from Abu Dhabi. I am chuffed to bits with how yesterday went, and once i get home it will be great to have some relfection on the past month or so of training leading into the event. It seems a lifetime ago I was sliding along the road in Stellenbosch [...]
Please have a look at this wicked video put together from the footage filmed of us at our camp a couple weeks ago at K Swiss HQ. It gives a great insight into our own thoughts of the team spirit being created. I’m excited! Good memories too
Sorry there has been little updates of late … either time seems to have flown by or I simply haven’t had much spare time to sit down and share what I’ve been up to. Well, I’ll try and stick to that argument for now
Some bits and pieces of what I have been doing [...]
The last week has been a whirlwind of driving up and down the Interstate 5 from LA to San Diego and back with my side kick Joe Gambles. Joe had a number of sponsor commitments and I was keen to go see some friends down there, including web team mate Lesley Paterson. We managed (somehow) to fit in [...]
