Outlaw 70.3 Race Debrief🏊🏼‍♀️🚴🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️‍➡️

Swim🏊🏼‍♀️ 1.5k - 27:02
(shortened by 400m due to low temp): Massive room for improvement here, had loads left in the tank but couldn’t find any flow with weaving around other swimmers. Kicked, punched- a game of survival. However dive start and googles stayed on, a win is a win.

Bike🚴🏼‍♀️ 90k - 2h 55
My goal here was to get as close to 3 hours as possible. Couldn’t and still can’t believe I went sub 3!!! Shaved off 30 mins since my first 70.3 back in September 25 and managed to hold 30.4 km/h!

Run🏃🏼‍♀️‍➡️21.1k - 2h 01
Tough gig, legs felt so good for the first 10k, wanted a negative split and sub 2h here but just couldn’t quite hold on. However I’m not mad- this time still came in 20 minutes quicker than Weymouth 8 months ago with the same elevation.

Overall my goal was sub 6.

Weymouth 2025 I came in at 5h 58 with no swim. I said to my coach, would it be delusional if I aimed to beat that time at outlaw with the swim. Of course, said let’s go for it😎

I knew this would be tight- no room for error, head down & stick to the plan.

I came in at 5h 37 and 22nd in my AG🤝🏼

Next up: Ironman Copenhagen
T - 12 weeks.

1 whole year with 🤘🏼

To think I’ve gone 0 to parkrun to Ironman 70.3 and everything in between.

3 half marathons in the bag- 25 min PR on my most recent🏅

What a year it’s been! I’ve laughed, cried and most importantly, I’m growing into a person younger me would have idolised.

Feeling extremely grateful we crossed paths here’s to an even crazier year at UAC😅

Ironman 70.3 (69.1) Weymouth 2025- the glorified brick session🤝🏼

An experience of a lifetime and the start of my endurance adventure.

RACE DEBRIEF

The 1.9k swim unfortunately was cancelled the night before, due to weather conditions (a controversial call, swipe for a photo of the sea on race morning🥲).

So, triathlon turned into a bike, run- numerical order, starting 3 every 6 seconds out on course. I’ve not done much group cycling, so this felt very hectic, especially as I was a lower number and not yet the speediest on the bike. However, the thrill of racing on closed roads was like nothing I’ve ever felt. I completed my longest ride at 90k, half an hour quicker than I expected.

Quick plod through transition (nothing was quick about it at all) and onto the run. First 10k felt amazing, partly because of the adrenaline from the crowds but mostly because I couldn’t feel my legs. As I got onto my second lap, my knees were well and truely cooked and my stomach was being a tad confrontational- in an hour I felt I’d aged 50 years. Paracetamol and Imodium later and I’m at 15k, furthest I’d ever ran in training.. and it’s crazy that I comforted myself by telling myself I only had 6k left like it was nothing🤣

5:58:10 later and I’d bloody done it.

My first ever 90k ride & half marathon in a oner complete. However with no swim, Ironman and I have unfinished business.

Ironman Copenhagen 2026⏳

Calm before the storm🤟🏼

On the lookout for an extra pair of hands this 25/26 season!🤝🏼

Please share with anyone you think may be interested in an opportunity working with this fantastic rugby club😎

Pitchside antics, swipe for a surprise xx

Feels weird having my weekends back again

And that’s nearly a wrap for 24/25 season for both the men and women🤝🏼

Just cup games for the men to go!
