Race Results W/E 22 July
Another sunny week in England, and I’m beginning to wonder if England hasn’t drifted out of Europe into the tropics. Fortunately for us, this makes for great triathlon weather, and Ful-on Tri-ers are taking advantage. First up this week were Haukur Hemisson, James Ellis, Sian Morgan and Tom Scott at the Standard Chartered 5k in […]
Race Results w/e 15 July
While the world of professional sport was disappointing if you were an England/Federer/Nadal/Serena fan this week (I’m at least a Federer/Nadal/Serena fan, and for the sake of future visa applications I guess I should claim to be an England fan too), Ful-on Tri’s performances certainly lifted my spirits. First up this week was Nicola Busca, […]
Race report Austria 2018: 6 hours a week can buy your Ironman finish!
by Julia Rowe-May There was a moment during the past 18 months when I read an IM Austria race report in 220 magazine and thought this was the event I wanted to do as my next Ironman after Copenhagen. Then, in October, as the club celebrated our glorious successes at Kona 2016, I found […]
From Broken to Competing in Just 10 Weeks
By Faye Sanders I joined Ful-on Tri in December 2016 and my first race was the Tooting Bec Aquathlon at the end of April 2017. A lovely sunny day but no amount of sun could have warmed us up following a nipple-shrivelling 11 degree swim! Never have I not felt my feet while running before – a […]
Race Results W/E 8 July
Thank you Xav for taking over the report last week – I appreciated the break (and the chance to party post-IM – did y’all hear the after party was on a boat? It was. We rubbed shoulders with the celebs (see photo). And my liver has just about recovered, I think.) Now, back to business: […]
Race Results w/e 1 July
Written by: Xavier Faux Oh it’s good to be back. Here, for this week only, whilst your usual performance commentator is enjoying a few beers in Austria. The busiest event of the weekend was obviously IM Austria. An incredible performance by all of you. I am so happy all of your hard work has paid […]
Race Results w/e 24 June
For starters, like many of you (I hope!), I spent all day Friday glued to my phone, refreshing my instagram for Walt’s updates on how Euan Lees, Nick Berry and Shane McCauley were doing in their Channel Swim Relay. The guys did a truly incredible job, crossing the channel in 10 hours and 30 minutes […]
Race Results w/e 17 June
This week brought one of the highlights of the racing calendar, the Parkland Relays in Richmond Park on Wednesday evening. We came away with two podiums, taking 3rd place in the Men’s and Women’s competitions. Congratulations to James Ellis, Geoff Maher, Shuan Wood and Euan Lees on the men’s side, and to Ruth Purbrook, Anna […]
Race Results W/E 10 June
Another wonderful weekend for some racing, and our club continues to post incredible results! But firstly, going back to last weekend I forgot to mention that Jonny Williams completed Ironman 70.3 Durban, his first race after a knee surgery earlier this year, and managed not only to secure himself a slot for the World Champs […]
Race results w/e 3 June
At a race briefing this weekend, the organiser wrapped up his spiel with the inspiring words, “Don’t be sh…abby.” I think it suffices to say that Ful-on Tri never races shabbily, and this week’s results are yet more proof of that. On Saturday, Mark Nielsen, Shaun Wood and Emilie Quinn all raced at the Blenheim […]
Race Results w/e 27th May
Last week saw some incredible sporting performances. Chris Froome took the Giro with an incredible 80km solo effort, Fulham Football Club returned to the premier league, England were comprehensively outplayed at Lord’s to be beaten in the first Test (the BBC’s words, not mine), and Ful-on Tri continued to show dominance in not one, not […]
Race results w/e 20 May
Another stellar weekend of weather, another stellar weekend of racing. What an amazing club we have. For starters, Saturday morning saw yet another round of the London League at the Tooting Lido Aquathlon. Ful-on Tri had a big team turnout for the 810 meter swim and 7km run. Haukur Heimisson, euan Lees, Rob Argles, Tom […]
