🏊‍♂️🚴‍♂️🏃‍♂️ Westfriesland 70.3 Ironman 🌍🎉

What a year for Cade! 🎉 Another goal smashed and an incredible racing experience at the Westfriesland 70.3 Ironman in the Netherlands covering the course in a fantastic 5 hrs 17 minutes 39 seconds. The race recap….

🏊‍♂️ Swim: A rolling-start swim of 1.2 miles in the tranquil waters of Hoorn’s old harbour and Markermeer lake. Cade tackled this mostly calm freshwater swim in an impressive 37 minutes, even navigating a slightly choppy mid-section on what is a relatively new discipline to him.

🚴‍♂️ Bike: The bike course spanned a flat 56 miles with an elevation of just 22 to 50 meters. Smooth, paved roads wound through traditional windmills and charming villages, although the wind and a few cobblestone patches kept it somewhat interesting. Cade powered through after some serious bike training in 2 hours and 48 minutes.

🏃‍♂️ Run: The final leg was a flat, spectator-friendly 13.1 miles on a multi-loop course through Hoorn’s historic city centre, finishing strong with a time of 1 hour and 43 minutes, crossing the line at the city beach amidst beautiful monumental buildings.

Massively proud of Cade for his hard work and dedication throughout this year! 💪 He’s taken on some fantastic challenges in 2026 and hit some big goals, and with the unwavering support of Poppy, who’s also a remarkable athlete, the sky’s the limit! Keep going guys 🙌

Huge congratulations to Liam for his outstanding performance at the EMF Half Marathon! 🏃‍♂️💪 Battling through 23-degree heat, he kicked off the race at 8 am, greeted by cooler temperatures that quickly heated up.

After a dedicated training block, demonstrated his incredible fitness and executed his race tactics perfectly, achieving a remarkable 19th place finish out of 10,000 participants! 🎉 He crossed the finish line in just 1 hour, 15 minutes, and 3 seconds, averaging an impressive 3:33 min/km.

This comes off the back of a stellar start to 2026, with some top results, finishing 🥈 in the Kilomathon (45:38) and 🥇 in the Meadows 10km (35:18). Balancing work and family life while maintaining such focus and commitment to training is no small feat. Massive kudos 🙌🏅
