Get outdoors and exercise!
My AAA race for this year is the Hever Gauntlet which is part of the final round in the Markel Castle Triathlon Series. Each of their five events takes place in and around the grounds of a stunning castle, with one in Ireland, one in France and the rest in England. These events are very high-profile and [...]

It has such depth compared to many [...]
This weekend I’m off to the biggest triathlon that I’ve ever competed in. The Hever Castle Triathlon. It is the final round of the Markel Castle Triathlon Series at Hever Castle and it’s sponsored by Wiggle. There are nearly 1000 people in the Olympic distance race alone and there are four races across the weekend. [...]
Taken by Marcus I was given a fairly late start of 9.50am for the Bath Challenge Distance Tri, but due to the travel involved this still meant a 5am wake up to give me time for breakfast and the two and a half hour drive. It looked to be a busy weekend for the event [...]
