11th October: Well. Carsington may well have been the end of my 2008 season! Since then I've developed a cold and here we are 6 days later and my head has become a green cheese factory. Not nice! So I wont be racing tomorrow at the Fast and the Furious Duathlon in Kent. Instead I've been invited by my sponsors Bike and Run london to go to the bike show at Earls Court in London to check out the Bianchi's that they are displaying there.

Meanwhile yesterday to pass the time I started adding more pictures to my gallery section. Click gallery above to see more...

5th October: Carsington Duathlon- 2nd.  In honest truth I was well and truely beaten by a good mate, Joel Jameson of TFN race team who beat me by nearly 3 minutes overall.  It was a horrible day in Derbyshire with hammering rain and blustery winds. As always the weather felt different up on Middleton Top and the decents were lethal. Anyone who knows the Carsington/Ashbourne course which is probabaly now the most famous course in British Duathlon will know that the descents are pretty rough and the surface is bad. To make it wose this time they were wet and the worst of them was like a mine field littered with conkers!       It was great to have one one my best buddies, Mike Jubb pushing me on on the first run. we came into T1 together and it was great to be running with him as well as to see him back in the Duathlon fold after quite a few injuries and a season build around Ironman.  Despite the weather and Joel wopping me I really enjoyed the race. It's one of those races thateveryone would love to win. If you look back at the names that have won on that course over the years then you would see why. Even the late great Vansteelant is on there.  As for Joel- He beat me to into 2nd place at my first event of the year and now again at the end so it somehow seems fitting but even still, in an entirely sporting manner-"next year you're meat Jameson. You're going down!".    

28th September: My third win in one week! Today I won the Satnford Hall Duathlon near Loughborough by leading from start to finish.  The form seems to be coming on nicely. It made me look look back and see how many duathlon wins I have now and I was staggered to see that it's 47! The question is, can I make 50 with the 4 races I have left this year: Carsington, Fast and the Furious, Friston Forest and Sandy Balls. It's a big ask but it'll be fun trying!

25th September: Another win! my second of the week! I won the Silverstone Duathlon on the Porche test track on wednesday night after a 2 mile 10 mile 2 mile battle with some strong runner bikers. I was pleased because I have really improved my final leg this year. All those sessions of running hard off the bike are starting to pay off!  Report coming...

22nd September: A Win! Nice to be back in the habit yesterday when I won the Maidstone Duathlon in Kent for the third year running.  Click here to read more.....

16th September: London Duathlon (Elite race) : Absolute failure. I ran like a muppet and pulled out on the first run. No good. Just one of those days. In reality it was probably a bit early after coming back from my cold to be running so fast. Don't click here and don't read anything......

15th September: 2 Updates in one with a round up of all my summer racing and then a sneak look at my new kit which might just arrive in time for the end of the 08 season! Click Here........

31st August 2008: Well! That's quite some gap since my last installment! Since then I've had another website which didn't quite work out and I've had a lot of racing, training and ups and downs. Click here to read my update.

25th June: Check out my new bike from Bike and Run (www.bikeandrun.com) Ouch! She's nice isn't she. Unraced as yet but soon to be broken in.  It's an Orbea (how could you tell!?) Orca and it's so much lighter and stiffer than any TT bike I've ridden before. Nice eh?

5th June: Recovering from the Benny Vansteelant memorial World Duathlon Cup Race in Belgium. I was 20th in the pro race.

26th May: Building towards the Duathlon World cup in Belgium next weekend......
