It’s been a while since I have done a Blog entry and also quite a few races have happened to cap off  the 2016 Season.  However if you have been following me on Facebook then you certainly will be up to date.  However in brief post Outlaw Full and 4wk visit back to UK……….

Races……. 

Ironman Majorca – I was in amazingshape and so committed to this event, arrived week early and rolled out on the course in the build up to the event.  Unfortunately I went down with a virus and couldn’t shake it, ended up DNF (Did Not Finish)  Not the result that anyone wants to see.

Limassol Sprint Tri – I really do love racing Sprint Tri’s and this result showed how top shape I was in.  Leading from the start and pushing the bike to pull away and open up a good enough gap to cruise round the 5km run.  Such a confidence boost after Majorca.

K1 Man , Half Distance Tri –  In the few weeks to this race i was still trying to clear the last bit of the virus from Majorca, but my spirits were high and I really wanted to go well on this race.  I had a solid swim 3rd out of the water and swam most of it solo, but if anything my swimming has come on really strong since living near the sea and weekly sea endurance sessions have benefitted me.  The bike course was 90km of rolling hills and a few hard climbs, so not ideal for me but I knew I had to ride strong to stay clear of competition.  Went into the run with a 5min lead, but knew this was not enough due to my body feeling quite drained and the virus still lingering.  However managed to hold a steady pace and was finally caught and passed at 15km mark of the 21km.  I held on to 2nd place and really pleased to have closed the season off with another podium.
