Once again we found ourselves getting up early in a Premier Inn Hotel room ready to head off to do a fairly high profile race. Not only was it the British Championships, but it was also a qualifier for the World Championships...

To be honest it was unlikely that I would defend it, but I was going to have fun trying and it’s always good to race on the international scene. Preparation My...

Time for the Human Race British Sprint Triathlon Championships at Eton Dorney and what should have been an ‘A’-priority race for me. Training had been going quite well over the winter but the last 6 weeks or so hadn’t been quite so good. As I’ve posted elsewhere I just didn’t feel that...

It isn’t classed as a race by the organisers either and is really just an excuse to ride around the hills and woods of North Wales with 600 like-minded people. I’d taken part...
