Ironman 70.3 Weymouth Race Report
Weymouth 70.3 was a bonus race for me and one that i wanted to race as it was my local race living 30mins away. I qualified for the World Championships there last year and i was hoping to do that again this year although i was not sure exactly how it would go being a…
Ironman 70.3 World Championships Race Report
In my usual style lets start this race report by setting out what my race plan and targets were for Chattanooga and then seeing how well i executed on them. With this being my first world championship race i didn’t really know what to expect apart from lots of ultrafast people…. I flew out a week early…

HUUB Archimedes II 3:5 Wetsuit
I’m currently using two wetsuits from HUUB, the Archimedes II 3:5 and the HUUB AEGIS II 3:5 Sleeveless wetsuit. ( actually have a 4:4 as well but its getting sold as i dont get on with it) I find that i swim much better with the AEGIS as it is less restrictive around the shoulders.…
