Me in my GB kit ,Ready to race in September feeling good .

GB kit

My GB kit has arrived ,Its now three weeks till the world aquathlon champs to be held in Hyde Park,Training has been going really well and I have broke my 5km pb twice going from 16.31 down to 16.12 and then beating it again to get it down to 16.03 ,I would like to go under the 16 minutes before the world champs that was the aim when I started training to be in the best possible shape .

It has been a while since i posted its been a busy year with setting up my own business racing had to take a little bit of a backseat but i am back now and fully focused on a great season ahead . My first major race of the season was a World Aquathlon (swim and run)championship qualifier held at boxend lake and my aim was to qualify for the GB Age group team and to do this i needed a top 7 finish in my age group .Having looked at the start list before the race i knew it was going to be hottly contested as the champs are being held on home turf in Hyde park as part of the ITU triathlon grand final race so i knew i had to be on top form. I was very happy to finish the race in 6th and qualified automatically ,Looking forward to the champs itself i now want to get a medal i am going to nail my training from now till sept in order to achieve this .

Ironman wales

I have changed my mind on the Ironman race for 2012 ,I have changed from UK to Wales now ,The reason for this is the Hawaii qualification for the world champs ,If i do Uk i have to compete in oct this year ,if i do Wales i can go to the world champs in october 2013 and this allows me more time to get travel arrangments sorted and really nail it .

Sponsor update .

I would just like to thank DRS.Direct a recruitment Agency based in Bedford who deal with occupational health jobs ,I would like to Thank Lee and Tony company directors and all the staff there for there support for the 2012 season in my quest for Ironman world champs qualification.

Also i would like to Thank Sci-mx nutrtion for there continued support in 2012 it makes a big difference to have a company like them supporting you .

Update

Training is going great,I am putting in some big miles and also investing a lot of time into the training in my quest for my Hawaii slot.
There is still a lot more to come yet ,I am fourteen weeks into a forty week plan and things could not have gone better ,Its all about keeping my feet on the floor now and keep pushing on.

I feel that this year will be my year to make things happen.patience,persistance and desire will bring me what i want in 2012 .

Training update and new bike

I am 9 weeks into Ironman training ,It is all base training at the moment building strength ,I feel like i am getting stronger all the time last month i did 625 miles on the bike ,I feel this where i can gain the biggest time gain in the ironman as my run is already strong .Just got to keep the training consistent through the winter in my quest for hawaii and the world Ironman champs .

NEW BIKE FOR 2012

I had some great news from Quintana Roo they are going to send me a new CD0.1 ultegra build to kick arse on next year .

Ironman 2012

Ironman uk is my choice of races for 2012 ,I have had a year out of triathlon to let my body heal and set me up for an epic year in 2012,I feel like my drive has come back and i feel really fresh and ready to give everything for next years ironman.I have other races too compliment the ironman too and its all geared towards my effort in the ironman,I feel ready like never before.All i can say is watch this space .

luton summer road race series win

I took part in the luton summer road race series and won the series overall,In the first race on a friday night which was a 5 mile run at vauxhalls rec i finished in 3rd overall in a time of 28 mins,the second race was the stockwood park 5km quite hilly and i finished in 6th overall in a time 17 mins 10 secs and the last race luton 10km around luton hoo was the toughest of all three very hilly tough route and finished in 4th overall in a time of 36 mins.I was happy with the series as a whole and i ran pretty consistent over all 3 races and really enjoyed it.next stop abingdon marathon .

winter update

Well the winter is definatly here now,Training and racing has been going ok in the early off season had a few top 5 finishes overall at the Henlow 10 where i broke my pb and stevenage half where i got to within 10 secs of my half pb,so early indications are that my form is ok just need to carry that into 2011 .
January sees me competing in a high profile xc races great strength training early on then after that it a matter of building up the bike mileage and starting to nail some good sessions,i will be back with the masters swim team after xmas too,I have really seen the benefits of swimming with these guys 3/4 sessions a week,so my weakest disipline will hopefully be stronger next year.Bring on 2011 and i am really pumped up for this year.

Henlow 10 mile road race

I went over and did the henlow 10 road race and it went very well considering i have only done little running,The race itself went great i finished in 58 mins and a new pb of over 2 mins and 5th overall.

gb race

A few of the race photos of the european champsin spain,The race did not quite go to plan for me,i had a good swim and bike and got myself in the mix coming off the bike and full of confidence as the run is my strongest disipline and i thought i might be able to reel in a few more competitors but on the day it was not meant to be,i finished 14th in my age group,on relection i think i didnt hydrate as good as i could have and i think i paid for that in the warm weather in spain.

The rumours are that the same race has been choosen for the world long course champs in 2012 so i am going to try and qualify and go back and put things right.unfinished business.!!!!!!!!

GB selection

On june 25th i will travel over to spain for the european long course triathlon champs with the GB team i am really excited to be going over there to compete and hopefully i can carry my good form of the early season into this race and come away with a great result

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.

swim 400mts 6 mins 24 secs including run to transition
t1-1 min 9 secs

total-1 hour 8 mins
4th overall and 3rd age group
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.
