Ask most triathletes what are the races that they consider to be among the most iconic triathlons across the globe, and you’ll find that, along with Lanzarote Ironman, Escape from Alcatraz, Challenge Roth and Hawaii Ironman, there will be the Alpe d’Huez Triathlon. This relative newcomer to the calendar is a challenging and unforgiving race which, if not paced well, will come back and bite you…

All good things must come to an end and so it is with Ironman UK, or as it’s more fondly known Ironman Bolton. It has just been announced that from 2024 the event will half in distance and become 70.3 Bolton. For those of us local it marks the end of one story and the start of a new exciting chapter for the town. We are excited about this change and believe that the 70.3 event is likely to be…

LAKESMAN HALF TRIATHLON

Quin Beech — Mon, 10 Jul 2023 04:06:58 +0000

Fortunately, I managed to find a gap amongst the chaos and started establishing a rhythm, sighting more frequently at first until I was out of the trouble zone. The swim route was a long, narrow rectangle, and just when we thought we had everything under control and swimming towards the last two buoys, a swarm of fresh-faced swimmers heading in the opposite direction came our way.

IRONMAN SOUTH AFRICA

Quin Beech — Fri, 24 Mar 2023 13:43:53 +0000

I was at Ironman South Africa, my first time racing in the Southern Hemisphere, where water goes down the plug hole the opposite way. Thankfully, my bike peddling did not need to be in the opposite direction also. I was in Port Elizabeth on the Eastern Cape of South Africa to race Ironman South Africa full distance 5th March 2023. It was a race that threw everything at us starting with fork…

I’m sitting here Saturday night having a beer watching Argentina and Australia play each other in the world cup and I…

Training for Ironman Israel

Quin Beech — Mon, 05 Dec 2022 16:28:43 +0000

Training for Ironman Israel is not an easy undertaking at any time or place, especially when you work full time a thousand miles away on the French coast. This did not stop Robin from signing up to have a go. At the time of signing up for the event Robin was not being coached and was piling valuable time and effort into his training for Ironman events. He had successfully completed 2 full…
