After Norseman, whats next? The Inferno!
In General Triathlon, Inferno Triathlon, Races, Simon Ward of TTC (February 23, 2010 5:05 pm)
That heading sounds a bit like “out of the frying pan and into the fire” or in this case the Inferno.
If you can remember back as far as August 2009 or if you read my blog, you might recall that my big event for last year was the Norseman Iron distance event in Norway. In [...]

Kona – other stuff
In Ironman, Races, Simon Ward of TTC (October 10, 2009 8:21 am)
As I promised you yesterday, no sexy kit or other bits and pieces to spend your money on.
This time a quick look around the world famous (at least in Ironworld) Lava Java
and a quick look at the athletes lining up to rack their bikes on Friday afternoon
Tomorrow, its race day. Should be plenty of [...]
Kona: It’s quiet
In Ironman, Races, Simon Ward of TTC (October 6, 2009 4:36 am)
Traditionally most athletes seem to arrive in Kona on Sunday 6 days before the race, although the European athletes tend to arrive a bit earlier.
This means that Monday morning at the beach is usually heaving. Exit the water around 8am and you can’t move on the dockside. This year it seemd much quieter. As you [...]
Becoming a Norseman – Race report – The Run
In Ironman, Norseman triathlon, Races, Simon Ward of TTC (August 14, 2009 5:14 pm)
Only the run to go! ONLY!! First I had to stand up straight and change from cycle to run kit. Andy had dropped Fiona off to support one of the guys behind me so he helped me in T2. As I said before there were no change tents so 4 ladies standing close by got [...]
Becoming a Norseman – The Race Report – Bike
In Ironman, Norseman triathlon, Races, Simon Ward of TTC ( 10:42 am)
It was remarkably still as I left T1, with no sign of the wind that had been so apparent in the fjord. Maybe the forecast was wrong. After 5km the first climb started and went on, and on and on. You climb from sea level to the top of the Hardanger plateau which is approximately [...]
Becoming a Norseman – The Race Report – Pre Race & swim
In Ironman, Norseman triathlon, Races, Simon Ward of TTC (August 13, 2009 1:35 pm)
Pre Race
After setting out my pre race goals a few posts ago I managed to achieve all of them, even the managing of stress level (here they are again just in case you didnt see them the first time)
Extra rest
Careful eating (I’m at 77k right now, just above my target weight but I’m feeling healthy [...]
Silly Mistakes (pt 2)
In Races of TTC (September 27, 2008 8:11 pm)
Last time I referred to “Silly Mistakes” which cost needless time. Now I’ll explain why
Arriving at the race venue with minimal time to prepare – Do you think Jan Frodeno arrived at the Beijing transition 20 minutes before the Olympic Triathlon was due to start? Me neither. So why create unnecessary stress by running around [...]
Silly Mistakes
In Races of TTC (September 18, 2008 7:51 am)
It’s been a busy few weeks so I apologise for not updating the blog
A couple of weeks ago I was volunteering at the Vitruvian. Once again Iain and the crew put on a great race and the responses have been amazing. As always lots of people came up to day hello and I have to [...]
The Olympics
In Races of TTC (August 20, 2008 8:07 pm)
Well, wasn’t that a great race. Obviously we were all shouting for Alistair Brownlee and he put up a great show. Alistair’s motto is “Who Dares Wins” so it was no surprise to see him at the front of the bike and also taking the run out in the first 5k. he’s definitely a big [...]
