Race Results W/E 25th November, 2nd, 9th and 16th December
There has been a minor (ahem) hiatus in the race reports as the fixtures secretary was coming to terms with being in the workforce again, so strap yourself in as this is a long one (especially considering the time of year…our club has clearly forgotten what “off season” means). Let’s cast our eyes back to […]
Race Results W/E 14th October
It was yet another thrilling week of racing for Ful-on Tri. First up, on Wednesday, Xavier Faux took on the Civil Service National Championship Cross Country at Hampstead Heath, and managed to “destroy” himself along the way. Well done Xav! On Saturday, in balmy London, the first club Cross Country of the season took place, […]
Race Results W/E 23 September
When you sign up for a race in late September in England, sometimes you get a beautiful clear sky with a crisp early-autumn chill. Other times, you get deluge. Unfortunately for many racing this weekend, it was deluge. But first, I forgot to mention last week we had Paolo Santamaria and Chris Brown out at […]
The 10 things I wish I knew before my first Ironman
by Brannigan Barrett September 9th 2018, Ironman Wales. My motivation was simple: put my mind and body through the ultimate test. I faced up to the Welsh Dragon and during the six month journey I discovered ten of the most valuable lessons en route to becoming an Ironman. I share these lessons not only as […]
Race Results w/e 9 September
It was such an incredible weekend of sporting achievements that it’s taken me until now to collect myself enough to write it up…or something like that…anyway, the results from last weekend were, as ever, inspiring. Obviously, the highlight of the weekend was the mixed relays at Eton Dorney on Saturday morning. 30 members of the […]
Race Results w/e 2 September
Welcome to September! The air is growing crisper, the thought of cross country is entering our heads (or should be…), and our rides are turning into cake trips: you know it’s nearly the off-season. But this is Ful-on Tri, and of course there are many racing right up to the end, including a number of […]
Race Results W/E 26th August
For some people, the August bank holiday is a chance to unwind and soak up the last rays of summer with friends, barbecues and beers. For Ful-on Tri, the August bank holiday is more about seeing how much swimming, biking and running one can fit into 72 hours. The answer seems to be a lot. […]
Race Results W/E 19 August
A big weekend of racing this weekend. Starting us off at the long end of the game were Jonny Williams, Julian Beazley and Phil Johnson out at Ironman Copenhagen. Jonny had an outstanding race, finishing in 9:31. While this is impressive for anyone, it’s particularly impressive for someone who had knee surgery in January, tore […]
Race Results w/e 29 July and 5th August
Due to my delinquency and last minuteness (note to self, packing a bike and clothes for a week and a half at 10pm when you have a 9 am flight is not necessarily the way forward, but as one friend says, if you pack early, you pack twice. Also, the pedals came off easily – […]
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 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 […]
The Kona Experience
Written by: Ruth Purbrook. I can’t believe how long it has been since the big race itself, the race I spent 4.5 solid months training for, visualising during all the hard sessions and desperately hoping for a bit of luck to get me through what many people say is the toughest Ironman. I am immensely […]
