After a disappointing 2022 Team GB qualification due to getting Covid at the wrong time I had decided to really focus and train properly for 2023. My experience in Munich at the Europeans which are now draft legal meant I had to significantly improve my swimming to be competitive and […]
Four months after the event it has taken substantially longer to write up this race report than it took me to recover from it, and that was a while! Here is a brief summary of the day.. On Saturday 18th June I raced The Celtman Extreme triathlon. The race is […]
The first event of 2022 was the Yorkshire Duathlon on 3nd April at Croft Circuit near Darlington. This event was the English National Championships and one of three of the European Standard Distance Duathlon Age Group qualifiers. Colin and I drove down on the Friday night (1st April) after finishing […]
It’s been just over 10-weeks since breaking my collar bone, three ribs and gaining some pretty gruesome gravel rash in a crash during the inaugural “The Northumbrian” triathlon. This race report is part of my “therapy” since my triathlon life was abruptly stopped. “How could it have happened to me?” […]

Will and I were met with mixed weather as we looked for somewhere to eat in Aberfeldly having registered and attended the race briefing for the British and Scottish National Middle-Distance triathlon. Quite a contrast to the last event in September 2019 where strong winds on the Saturday were followed […]
Ok, so I’m not a huge fan of doing race reports. Think its because I tend to avoid reflecting too much on the event post race, so the memory fades quite quickly and I use that as an excuse not to document them! Why don’t I reflect..? Probably because I […]
My triathalon journey started around five years ago after a new years resolution to get a fitter, and a family member suggesting a triathlon might be a new challenge. I was fortunate to be introduced to the E #3 Triathalon Club by a friend (you know who you are 😉) and […]
(Ed Note: All the photo’s from Selina’s event are in a really nice pdf attachment that you can download here which i’d recommend doing https://www.edinburgh3.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Cape-Wrath-Ultra-2021-photos-for-tri-club.pdf ) The Cape Wrath Ultra is currently Scotland’s toughest endurance race (I say currently, as there are so many crazy races sprouting up all the […]
