The ancestral home of Powerman is Zofingen. A typical Swiss town sitting around 400m above sea level with cobbles streets, a range of hotels restaurants and chocolate shops! The ITU long distance duathlon world championship is hosted by Powerman. A run, bike, run format around hilly roads and trails, with […]
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 […]

Monikie triathlon club had put on a weekend of racing with a youth drafting race on the Saturday and the Scottish mixed relay championships. This was followed with the individual Scottish Championship and ETU Age group qualifier race on Sunday. Plenty of the club had turned up to take part either […]
