Race Schedule & Events
2017 was an exciting year of racing see below a summary of events plus links to all my race reports.
ASICS Greater Manchester Marathon relay
April, 2Â 2017
I have always tried to "say yes more" and after becoming a ASICS Frontrunner for 2017 I was offered the opportunity to run the ASICS Manchester Marathon 2 leg Relay as part of Team ASICS FrontRunner UK. Super excited to see what I can do for a 1/2 Marathon on fresh legs and a perfect distance for a test race a 5 weeks before 70.3 Mallorca.
Ironman 70.3 Mallorca
May 13, 2017
An early season 70.3 Race in the stunning Spanish Island. This race is made even more exciting as a result of the large group of One Triathlon RDS (My Club) members that are racing. I'll be looking to avoid the jellyfish on the swim and then not go too hard up the volcano before powering to a speedy super flat half marathon for a sub 5h Half. This race for me is also a prep race for Challenge Family The Championships in 3 weeks time in Slovakia.
ETU Aquathlon Championships
May 30, 2017
My first time in GB colours!! in mid 2015 I set myself the goal to eventually race a middle distance Tri in GB colours. Unfortunately although I met the qualification criteria for the 2016 season I wasn't in the top 20 qualifiers to make the team. After qualifying for the Challenge Family AG Championships for 2017 I wasn't able to also apply for the ETU AG Middle champs in Denmark as it clashed with Samorin. However one week before Samorin is the ETU Aquathlon Champs and after submitting Triathlon qualifying times I was successful in getting into the team for Bratislava, Slovakia one week before Samorin and just 30 mins down the road it means a week long holiday in Central Europe racing and visiting my wife's family in East Slovakia. Bring on the GB Kit....
Challenge Family - The Championships
June 3, 2017
The Championships are the new standard in middle distance racing, with Pro and AG races and
huge prize money for the pros there is a big field and a very exciting weekend in Central Europe.
The Championships Offers Qualification places only for the 2017 event I was able to qualify in 2016 in Samorin, Slovakia placing 10th in my AG. It wasn't a great race for me that day but coming back to a stunning venue and a super fast course with a huge field was an opportunity I could not say no to.
Human Race - Royal Windsor Olympic Triathlon
June 18, 2017
26 years and counting! Awarded the BTF’s ‘Event of the Year’ a remarkable seven times, the Nuffield Health Royal Windsor Triathlon is one of the best Olympic distance triathlons in the UK. The triathlon celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2015, and has stood the test of time with its quality delivery, stunning location and great event village.

Ironman Barcelona
October 1, 2017
With 3 years of training under my belt since Bolton 2014 it was a good time to get back into going long. Ironman Barcelona is a fast, flat and extremely popular European end of season IM race and I cannot wait to go deep into the pain cave again and see what I am capable of. Super excited to also be racing with several team mates and friends and share the journey of training for an Ironman with them.
