2012 Events

The Brecon Ultra spelled the end of the racing season, and I’ve spent the last two weeks piecing together 2012.  Apart from the Forestman Iron-distance triathlon and perhaps the odd duathlon and triathlon it will be entirely ultra run focused in 2012.  I’m doing a fair bit of research on ultra and t

Caesar’s Camp 100 Race Report

CAESAR’S CAMP 100 MILE RACE TIME : 20hr 32mins POSITION : 1st WEBSITE .

Caesars Camp Endurance Races (22-23 Oct)

WEBSITE Recently returned from a week in Portugal with Yve.  A great holiday but I was a little worried about the amount of food I was eating from the buffets.  If it wasn’t for the occasional coastal runs and swims I would have been in trouble.  But I returned having added just 1kg in weight, [...]

2012 Plans

Not a lot to report over the last couple of weeks.  I have been working on weight loss to try and drop from 72kg to 70kg (optimal race weight) and a few more run sessions with Caesars Camp 100 (22-23 Oct) in mind.  I did a back2back a week ago involving a one loop recce [...]
