On 7th May I crossed the finish line in Mallorca for my sixth middle distance triathlon and fourth Ironman branded 70.3. This race meant more than most, back in May 2019 I lined up for Ironman 70.3 Mallorca with high hopes of a PB, but these hopes were quickly dashed as I run from the beach to the sea. As soon as I entered the … Continue reading IRONMAN 70.3 MALLORCA 2022 RACE RECAP
On 7th May 2002, I raced Ironman 70.3 Mallorca. This was my sixth middle distance triathlon since I started in 2018 and I have made a quick post like this ahead of most of them. I find it useful to look back at these gear blogs before each race so I know what I need to pack. Let’s face it, there is a lot of … Continue reading IRONMAN 70.3 MALLORCA 2022 GEAR

I wanted to get in the … Continue reading IRONMAN 70.3 MALLORCA – DAY 2: RACKING & RELAXING

Now I am all packed and ready to fly out to Mallorca in the morning, I thought I would post my Ironman 70.3 Mallorca gear. Last week I posted my HOPES & DREAMS for race day, let’s hope this gear can help me deliver on those dreams. Pre Race Race morning breakfast for me is a tried and very well tested thing. In fact, every morning I … Continue reading IRONMAN 70.3 MALLORCA 2019 GEAR
This is the third installment of the Hopes & Dreams series and seems to be getting a regular thing now, certainly before the bigger races anyway. In my previous posts, my hopes for TOKYO MARATHON were massively underestimated and for the MANCHESTER MARATHON, I completely changed my mind and didn’t run at all. So it’s fair to say when I set a goal, hope or dream its pretty much … Continue reading IRONMAN 70.3 MALLORCA 2019 HOPES & DREAMS
