Funny how winter training is always easier at ! I always love my stays here and it’s easy to see why: warm days, blue skies, incredible facilities and waffles for breakfast to list a few 😉

A great week of training in the books, plus extra time and energy to trial out some of the other stuff on offer: discovering padel, working on my golf game (new found venture) and even some meditation classes!

Also my first time bringing a gravel bike to the island, opening up a whole new world of roads (I’ve yet to find something the Aspéro-5 can’t handle) and embracing a slower pace of life.

Vitamin-D topped up, mood is high and Christmas is around the corner; perfect timing for a training camp 🏕️

Already planning the next one 😎

Couple of weeks on from World Champs and reminiscing with these awesome photos! Off season is in full swing, but the Kona spam from the ladies’ race is already making me look forward to being back on the Big Island in 2026 👀

That being said, the Prom’ in Nice was quite special on the day 🤩

3 days out from the biggest race of the year… World Champs

Always tricky getting to the start line of these in your best shape and that’s usually the hardest part — this build has had its ups and downs but I’m ready to give it a good old crack on Sunday!

The last 4 World Champs have given me better results than I could ever have dreamed of — it’s a privilege now to be a part of the whole media circus and I’m enjoying every moment of it!

Pretty surreal too getting some last minute training sessions done on course with training buddy .tri, just felt like a casual Wednesday rolling round the Cotswold Water Park!

Few more days to put the feet up and be ready to roll the dice on Sunday 🎲
