  • Ironman World Championships 2019

    Kona Iconic, magical place, fierce, hot, terrible race. I could give you a blow by blow of Saturday 12th October 2019, but it would just be another ‘long day at the office’ so I thought I’d try to give you a taste of what makes Kona, Kona. And perhaps mention…

  • Ironstar 226 Sochi 2019

    I did my first Ironman 140.6 in September 2014 on Mallorca island. That was a good and smooth day out there and I’ve reached red carpet within satisfying 10:32. Tried to beat that time 1.5 years later in South Africa but ended blowing up on bike due to wrong readings…

  • Race to the Stones

    Preparation It was my idea.  In late April, I came back from the Old Mutual Two Oceans Ultra-Marathon (OMTOM) in Cape Town on a high, and with a new endorphin-fueled thought.  It seemed logical having completed the 56km hilly road run in South Africa with a little in the tank,…
