A pic of my daughter at a book signing with the legendary Sir Chris Hoy about 12 years ago. Today she gave me tickets to see the man in Manchester in November.
Closing in on 100 triathlons, some thoughts on my blog: irontwit.creativeblogs.net/2026/07/13/c... #triathlon #Ironman
Travelling to a triathlon? What are your top tips to make travel a stress free experience? Here are mine: irontwit.creativeblogs.net/2026/07/10/t... #triathlon #Ironman
The public player rater on the BBC website for the England team is utterly ridiculous - obviously massivel skewed by club bias.
Monkey off my bike! I've written my race report from my first (and only) ultramarathon. irontwit.creativeblogs.net/2026/06/29/m... #ultrarunning #RaceToTheKing
Surprisingly, I actually won my age group at #RaceToTheKing Admittedly, there were only 4 in the V60 category, but a win is a win! #ultrarunning
Heading to pit stop 5 at about 60km in. Things we’re heading south rapidly at this point. #ultrarunning #RacetotheKing
The #RacetotheKing course is at its most stunning in the final kilometres. View from The Trundle late evening a few kilometres from the end #ultrarunning
Well, I made it. The last 10k were absolute hell and I would never have finished without the support of my daughter who ran with and her partner who was the support crew arriving with cans of ice cold Coke at critical points. #RacetotheKing #ultrarunner
Up Bright and early for Race to the King in the South Downs. #ultrarunning #firstultra
Signs are out for Race To The King. It’s a beautiful day, probably about 23 degrees - perfect conditions. I can hear a Yellowhammer. More of the same tomorrow, please!
An amazing outcome: United Utilities publicly commit to 6 year plan to end sewage pollution in Windermere. This would not have happened without the incredible campaign led by @savewindermere.bsky.social Matt deserves huge praise for his efforts. #SaveWindermere www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/ending-sew...
12 days until "Race To The King". You'd think that after 10 Ironman finishes my first ultra would be a breeze. The truth is, it's a massive step into the unknown. #triathlon #ultrarunning irontwit.creativeblogs.net/2026/06/08/i...
Spending the day at the BASIS Conference in Manchester talking about Sustainability In Sport. Sarah Nicholson talking about partnerships in Manchester Climate Ready. I can see the @carbonliteracy.bsky.social logo up there!
Here's a timeline I built for my personal triathlon blog using Timeline JS showing all 92 of my triathlons with images, maps and links to race reports. irontwit.creativeblogs.net/race-history/
Chewie is looking guilty. It’s the look of a dog that has eaten all his tea AND eaten all his brother’s tea, too!
Interested in Carbon Literacy? I'm running a course for Town & Parish Councils in June/July. For more information and booking please visit the link: www.tickettailor.com/events/speak... #CarbonLiteracy #GreenSky @carbonliteracy.bsky.social
Just asked Le Chat to summarise the themes in my triathlon blog. Seems pretty spot on: irontwit.creativeblogs.net #triathlon
