Race report by Connor Date: 30th JuneConditions: ⛅️ I only had 2 aims for this race having only done one olympic distance duathlon before – finish under 3 hours and try and swim! Well I didn’t have any emails notifying the swim was cancelled, but I was convinced my ambition of under 3 hours was […]

Last week, Peter, Ian and Alice represented Great Britain in their Age Groups at the European Championships in Coimbra, Portugal. Peter and Ian tackled the Sprint Duathlon on Saturday (15th) and Alice the Standard […]
Two weeks ago Adam and El were over in Klagenfurt, Austria for their highly-anticipated full distance Ironman! As expected, they both knocked it out the park with some excellent efforts in all three disciplines. Adam managed to beat his three race aims, a sub-1.5hr swim, sub-7hr bike and sub-4hr marathon – as Hannibal (not that one) […]
Solihull Triathlon Club members competed in three different events over a two week period in Portugal: All four competitors provided excellent race reports, here is Gareth’s write-up of his adventure! I finally qualified for GB last year following a performance I wasn’t actually happy with at Outlaw X Thoresby Park. Since then I’ve been looking […]

Race Report from Glen at the TEC Brecon Beacons Long Half Marathon (26.52 km, 856m elevation) on Saturday 4th May. I found myself pining for a bit of adventure last week and got myself a late entry to TEC Brecon Beacons for today. I enjoy trail running and knew this would be stunning but also […]

Race report from Chris Ashford (STC coach) A journey over to the black country to take part in an early season pool triathlon! With a later start (10:30) based on my predicted swim time, it was a leisurely start, but as is often the way, more faffing than necessary, and I was only poolside with […]
Race report from Northern France as Glen Duncan took on the Paris – Roubaix Challenge last Saturday. 145km route and some of the most vicious cobbles you can imagine, simply no way to train for them! Bittersweet experience and definitely some unfinished business that I need to take care of. First 50km all very pleasant […]
