It has been a year since I received the invitation to race Ultraman Australia and almost 5 months since the event. It has taken that long and a number of attempts to write a race report. I found it hard to put it on paper but wanted to have something to keep the memory. The result is rather lengthy but hopefully it is not totally boring.

Without stealing the thunder, I had several moments and even days, where all I wanted was t...

Christian joined us at Pursuit Coaching for a year from Switzerland. Every athlete brings something to a squad and he certainly left a positive feeling on squad with his professionalism.

The most intensive weeks in preparation for Ironman Western Australia just passed. I’d like to take this as an opportunity to appreciate an awesome triathlon squad, its members and coache...

Every second Saturday we put the squad through its paces. Thanks to Ger O'Donovan for filming

We have always valued education here at Pursuit Coaching, always interested in improving our athletes and also ourselves as coaches. We educate through a few different methods, at training (like all coaches), in our twice weekly emails, meetings and seminars that we put on.

Topics we’ve covered this year

• Positive emotions

• Team contribution & success

• Building Confidence & barriers

• Visualisation

• Reflection,...

That sums up my journey since joining Pursuit Coaching / Blackfins only 4 months ago, from feeling competitive to knowing how to race.  Physically a different athlete, a new mindset, and new found confidence for racing - not just competing.  Why didn't i do it sooner?!  Well here is some of the road to Pursuit and the transformation...

Having hauled myself off the couch in 2012, seeking a new personal challenge and wa...

If someone said to me that I was going to swim a 01:07:05 in choppy conditions like those that presented at Palm Cove that morning, I wouldn’t have believed them. As we were lining up in the pen, I was bursting with excitement. I knew deep down that having had that ‘beautiful’ swim at Busso IM in 2015 behind me, this couldn’t be too much different. But it was different. SIX minutes different!

This kind of a rolling start was ne...

I always thought my limits in Ironman are purely physical. I'm talking about lack of background and experience in endurance sport and sport in general, lack of talent, my not-fish-like-swimming and so on. Ironman Melbourne has proven me wrong. Very wrong.

Sitting here and trying to write a race report is fairly difficult as there isn't much to report about in regards to the actual race. I had a really good day. I did my thing,...

As I crossed the finish line at the Barcelona Marathon, and still as I sit here now, I am in shock. I ran that, I ran sub 4min/km over a 42.195 distance – really was that me?

In a synopsis, I still know I have room for improvement. This was not my best race.

The day before the marathon, as I rode around on the tourist bus (highly recommended) as it hailed and rained I had wondered what I had gotten mysel...
