I have been training really hard since I got back from St Anthony’s, not only concentrating on one discipline, but all three really. Triathlon is such a hard sport. You just can’t let one of them go, otherwise you will not get a look in, as the world class series races are jam-packed with the best in the world. Who would want it any other way?

I have been training a lot at Loughborough with Michelle and Stuart. It’s a lot easier to train up here, well when I say easier I mean you can get out on the bike, run on softer surfaces and swim in a 50m swimming pool (now and again) but it defiantly is a lot harder physically when you’re training with these guys.

I have had loads of “balls in the wheelie bin” sessions recently and it’s all about putting the pennies in the bank and getting ready for the major race season which is knocking on the door and getting me very excited. I do love training but this is what I train for, putting myself on the start line and giving it all until I cross that finishing line. Exciting times ahead!

I cannot believe the wacky weather we have had over the last week but I have bloody loved it and I bet all you athletes out there have loved it too. It’s so much nicer and easier to get out and train in nice hot weather. I did my long run on Sunday in shorts and vest and caught the sun. Love it!

My next race coming up is the Blenheim Triathlon, obviously last year this was a great race for me, not only because I won, but it was my first proper race under Team Dillon. It was the start of my new journey in triathlon.

I am feeling really good in training and am excited to give it all on the 6th! Wish me luck, hope to see you there!

I will let you know how I get on.
