Halftime @ Bahrain Rugby Club

Such an amazing gift from the parents of a swim student.

A box (a heavy box at that) of original Turkish Delight…delivered to Bahrain.

Looking forward to having a piece with a cup of tea (my evening treat).

Done and booked - Ironman 70.3 Bahrain

8th December 2023

“Campaign Bahrain” is underway…

Ironman 70.3 Bahrain - 8th December 2023

JOB DONE!!

An ok swim (a little long, I measured it at 2.5km); An awful bike (very long straights with headwinds); real sh*tty run (big toes hurt, cramp in my Vastus Medialis for the first 5km, blisters on my heels after 4km that turned to exposed blood blisters, towards the end my hip flexors would not ‘flex’). Also, very exposed for the bike and the run.

These are not complaints, just personal feedback on things I need to work on.

One of my aims was to get across the finish and walk away without collapsing - done!!

Hats off to for the build up…let’s now look toward Bahrain 70.3 in December 2023.

Morning walk around the triathlon park - getting my bearings

Holy sh*t….it’s a Game of Thrones themed finish 🤯

Finally got here

Finally got my on display. They’d been boxed up far too long.

This morning’s routine….

1. Indoor bike for 60mins - this took me over the 100hrs of training with Zwift
2. New go-to… Pineapple Smoothie; ice, Laban, pineapple juice and protein supplement
3. Chilling in the whirlpool bath with the sweet sounds of the Rolling Stones
