His 2011 season could hardly be called a breakout year because he'd enjoyed more than a bit of success before but, when he bested a stellar field at the Abu Dhabi triathlon last year and followed that up by defeating the seemingly unbeatable Marcel Zamora at Ironman Nice, Frederik Van Lierde's name became one that was mentioned among those who could be a contender in Kona. more

A trip across the pond reveals Britain’s greatest threat to triathlon. This story was originally published in the May/June, 2011 issue of Inside Triathlon magazine. It has been edited for the web. Alistair Brownlee, 23, gives new meaning to the phrase “I’d rather die than lose.” The 2009 ITU short-course world champion raced so hard at the ITU World Championship Series event in London in 2010 that he drove himself unconscious.

So 2012 has begun. Somewhat coincidentally, as the new year began my injury trouble from 2011 was finally resolved. As you will know by now, a small knee niggle which began in July became a season-ending, surgery-requiring, major pain-in-the-ass injury and was only resolved towards the end of December. I am pleased to report that I am now training again properly and on the road to fitness. Unfortunately it didn’t quite resolve in time to blast back onto the racing scene at Ironman 70.3 South... more
Sooo given that we got married at sunset (theoretically—we just never got to see the sun) on New Year’s Eve, the official wedding party was done a couple of hours before midnight.

Besides more wine, champagne, etc., we had gluten-free pizza and leftover desserts from the wedding. Juzzie G may have eaten the inside out of at least four of those . . . not sure where he put it,... more
A 12 day training camp was just what I needed to kick start my fitness and Lanzarote was the perfect location for it. Before I left I had just started swimming after my mountain bike crash and had built up to 2.5k of easy swimming. I still wasn't running but had some treatment on my foot at Body Limits (www.body-limits.co.uk) in Milton Keynes when I arrived back after Christmas in Ireland which helped to speed up the healing. The plan was to get healthy, focus on the bike, swim as much as felt... more
After Ironman Florida I had some time off training. The plan was to take a few weeks to recover and chill out then two weeks to build back in to some training with what ever I felt like doing. After that I would start to build back in to some normal training with more of a focus on strength work, technique and fun. I started mountain biking for the first time which was a bit of a love-hate relationship. I couldn't decide whether I loved it or hated it. I definitely loved learning something... more
As promised! A brief moment of sunshine at the resort for some family pics before the ceremony . . . Above is Mom, me and Mini Bisc! With my Cat and BHS, or his older brother, Dirk.
