Part relief, part happy, part satisfied, part admiration for my competitors- part everything really after last weekend. After taking a year off from IM racing in 2010 for health reasons it was good to be back in Penticton racing. Ironman Canada is a special race for me, started my IM career there in 2000 and…
Raced Oceanside 70.3 this weekend down in San Diego. This was my first real test on North American soil since being out with mono last year. It was also the most competitive race I’ve done in a long time so a good chance to see where I was at fitness wise. Mentally I felt more…
First real hit out at a race in some time this weekend in South Africa. It was an amazing experience to be on the African continent- a first for me so I was excited to just go there. I desperately wanted to meet Nelson Mandela but I didn’t really look that hard and I figured…

Woke up short swim with some pick ups- feeling good Short run with strides- felt like ass at first better after about 10 minutes It was a who’s who at the pro meeting today. Mostly on account of it being mandatory so all the who’s had to be there. I was sitting beside a few…
It was a mixed bag last weekend. Wasn’t quite sure what to make of it. It has been a great year of training, details taken care of and I was in the right head space heading into it. From purely a results perspective I will admit that it was disappointing to come 4th. From an…
