Another training camp is over. We had a fantastic two weeks at Club la Santa. The first week was the Spring Triathlon camp with Joe Beer and Dan Bullock, and the second was intended to be aĀ bit of a holiday, but ended up being a training week as well, albeit with a sight-seeing trip to Timanfaya National Park.
Totals for the Camp:
| Cycling: | 22 hrs 30 mins | 418km |
| Running: | 6 hrs 11 mins | 49.8km |
| Swimming: | 5 hrs 05 mins | 5500m |
The Turriff triathlon is a close as Iāve got to a local event. Itās about 6 or 7 miles from my house, based at the local sports centre I use for swimming. Iāve done the event a few times, the first being in 1997. Thereās the choice of a Short (400m/20k/3k) or a Spring (760m/20k/5k)…
Iām just back from aĀ week at Club la Santa in Lanzarote. This is my 6th or 7thĀ stay here, and itās one of my favourite places to train on this planet.

Last weekend, I competed in the Huntly Triathlon, another event in the MPH-sponsored Aberdeenshire Council Triathlon Series. Itās based at Gordon Schools & Huntly swimming pool, about 45 minutesā drive from my home. Iād seeded myself with a slower swim time that at the Turriff race, with the hope of being in a lane with…
Earlier this month, I visited the Triathlon Show (formally the TCR Show), held at Sandown Park, near London. I was in Leicester for the following week at NSConference, so I flew down a day earlier to attend. Iāve been to the show a number of times in the past, but I found this yearās show…
On Sunday, I took part in the MPH Westhill Triathlon. This was my first triathlon for a couple of years ā in fact, I was starting to wonder if I could still call myself a triathlete! Iād opted for the short distance (400 m swim/16 km bike/3.2 km run) instead of the sprint distance which…
