Then on sunday i did the bedford sprint triathlon in some of the worst conditions i have ever raced in really windy and raining heavily.The race consisted of a 400mts swim-24km bike-5km run.my splits are.

very good weekend for me feeling stronger and sharper all the time.

london marathon


The london marathon did not really go to plan for me this year considering i felt great going into the race.I went off at the start holding a pace that felf great hitting all of my splits got to the halfway point in 1 hour 19 and this was bang on target time and at this point was feeling great,i got to 14.5 miles it all went wrong my calf pulled i eased off thinking it might be cramp but it just got worse,The last ten miles was agony with people going past me knowing i could do nothing about it.my final time was 2 hours 54 mins so i can get a good for age start again for 2011.
