2019 was going to be the year where I took that step over from running to triathlon. I began that year buying a new trisuit, my first item from Zoot and absolutely loved it and the fact that it had Kona writen on the back made it even more special.My first triathlon of the 2019 was IRONMAN 70.3 MALLORCA this was also the first race … Continue reading I AM JOINING TEAM ZOOT FOR 2020
The Outlaw X is a new middle distance (half ironman) triathlon for 2019 celebrating 10 years of OSB events. After my injury during the IRONMAN 70.3 MALLORCA 4 months ago, I decided that I would sign up to race this one right at the very end of the UK triathlon season. 4 months of injury recovery has gone quite well and I am going into this one … Continue reading OUTLAW X TRIATHLON 2019 RACE RECAP
This is my first race since I suffered a grade two tear of the calf muscle 8 weeks ago at IRONMAN 70.3 MALLORCA whilst I have been able to train in the pool and on the bike, running has been very limited.

This is the second in my Mallorca Daily blog series, DAY 1 was all about travelling out here, getting set up and registering for the race. Day 2 has been pretty relaxed as you might guess. I woke at 7:40am, jumped straight into my wetsuit and was in the sea by 07:58. Not a bad turn around if you ask me. I wanted to get in the … Continue reading IRONMAN 70.3 MALLORCA – DAY 2: RACKING & RELAXING

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
This is my first full distance Ironman event having only previously taken part in a GoTri, one sprint distance and last months IRONMAN 70.3 STAFFORDSHIRE.
