Triathlon World Championship Series, Seoul

May 10th, 2010 - Posted by Euski

After a fantastic weekend in Sydney I was really hoping for a repeat performance here in Seoul, having felt my training had been going well and that I was ready to go out there and give my all once again. Unfortunately it didn’t quite play out that way! I have only been to Asia once before – Gamagori in 2005 – and that was a pretty terrible race for me. So now with this weekends’ performance added onto that one,…

Sydney World Championship Series Race Report

April 16th, 2010 - Posted by Euski

I was a bit nervous as you’d expect but mainly just really excited to get out there and mix it up with these girls and put in…

Mooloolaba World Cup Triathlon Race Report

April 9th, 2010 - Posted by Euski

Firstly, I must apologise for the delay in this post…Mooloolaba WC was nearly two weeks ago now and I still haven’t said a peep about it on here! I don’t really have an excuse (dammit….I did try to think of one!) - all I can say is that I was a bit disillusioned with the result and didn’t really know what to say. Having had a couple of weeks to ponder it, I’ve decided to get my butt in gear…
