Swashbuckler 2012

I’m pleased to report that I kicked off my season with a win at the Swashbuckler middle distance triathlon yesterday. I was quite apprehensive going into the event as it has been quite a while since I last raced. The uncertainty about the weather didn’t help things and I was not pleased to see 3.5 [...]

Some 29′er action

Thank you Strada!

Meet the newest member of the team, courtesy of Strada. Carbon ’29er’ built up with Cannondale Lefty fork, shimano Deore XT groupset (with Hope brakes), B.O.R cranks and rims (expertly build by Darren of course!) along with U.S.E post bars and stem. With a quick change to my preferred saddle she tips the scales at just under 9.4 Kg. [...]

I’ve just added details of the main races I’ll be focussing on in 2012. Check out the sliding tab on the left for the details. They will, of course, be supplemented with plenty of ‘training’ events. I am particularly looking forward to this one!

Sometimes I wish I had a different skill set! Great song too, the album (Every Kingdom) is well worth a listen!

Getting on with winter

Wow it’s already under a month until christmas! The last few months really have flown by, which in a way is a good thing: I have had no major incidents to report. Training is on track and plans for the race season are coming together nicely and I’m particularly looking forward to branching into the [...]

Next season

A sneak peak of something that is in the pipeline…

All Change

Tom — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 16:14:29 +0000

There have been some big changes for me over the last few weeks which goes some way to explaining the lack of posts up here! My apologies for all those of you who have been checking in. My last race in Bala was unfortunately pretty much a non starter! I went into the race feeling [...]

Bring on the short stuff

Tom — Fri, 09 Sep 2011 09:29:02 +0000

Finland feels just about long enough ago now to have a crack at another race and what better one that Bala standard. I raced this one last year as part of the national ranking series that I won and it was hands down the best event of the year. It’s a real breath of fresh [...]
