Wow it was a really great day at Hyde Park. I have never had such an excellent 12 hrs. This was so good, no overnight racking meant that we were able to set the alarm for 5.30am and drive to Park lane and find a free spot on one of the side roads. A joy [...][...]

European Champion 40-44yrs, Athlone
Super result at Athlone opening my 40-44yrs account with a win was a great feeling. Started in a 40+ wave 1 hr after the youngsters went off so that was a shame, I would have liked to race against them. Instead it was a full on time trial with the exception of being 2nd out of [...][...]

Grendon triathon – Great to be back racing…
So pleased today to have at last after a 7 month famine of triathlon racing actually got the chance to get out there and compete. The 12 degree water did wonders for my foot, i.e. when I hit the run my feet were so cold if there was an injury to deal with I wasn’t [...][...]

Urrgghh….the worst case I have ever seen!
Not the words you want to hear from a radiologist who scans your foot meticulously and concludes that the soreness I have been feeling is not anything new, still raging plantar faciitis….urghhh. I reckon he ought to have seen it last year as far as I am concerned this feels million miles bette[...]

Day one Friday 26th I made a deal with myself that I wouldn’t write in my blog until my plantar faciitis had sorted itself out! Well I might be waiting along time so thought I would start again. I am making good progress with my rehab but it is slow and sometimes still painful. It is [...][...]
