Its been a while since I've updated. Primarily that because there hasn't been much of interest to report. Knocking out the winter miles, putting the work in in the lead up to the new season. I did however race a Duathlon at Eton Dorney to keep me sane over winter without Triathlons to break up the tedium of cold sessions, and it turned out to be a good hit out, and its always  nice to take the win, even if it did mean racing in long sleeves and leggings.

Christmas was a little different this year compared to the last couple, as we didn't go out to Fuerteventura for our normal warm weather camp with the Loughborough Tri squad, so instead It made a nice change to put some solid weeks back at home, even if the warmer weather was distinctly lacking.

Now the real reason for writing this is because my race schedule is starting to come together. I'm looking to target European cups this year with the aim of getting a late season world cup start, but alongside these, I will also be keeping my hand in with the non drafting format or racing. Another exciting development is the fact that I will also be racing for Besancscon in the FGP D2 this year

It all starts with a warm weather camp in Portugal with the LTPC squad, and from there I'm racing Challenge Gran Canaria, before then heading back to BUCS sprint, before a couple of races to sharpen up in May, and then a busy few months through June, July and August.

Its been a long time coming but races are just round the corner now and I've made some changes to training this year, and I cant wait to see how this translates into races.

Once again I would just like to say that none of this would be possible without my sponsors - Anchura Partners, Loughborough triathlon and Kitbrix and I'm looking forward to racing for Racehub and their sponsors this year - Huub design, Cep Compression, High 5, Giant, Vittoria tyres, Lake cycling shoes, Stewarts coffee, Snow software, Endurance Conspiracy and Sketchers performance.
