Race report: Cowtown Half! 🐄 🏙️
WOW WHAT A RACE! I had so much fun today running my first half marathon race since 2019. Saw lots of friends before, during, and after the race which just added to the fun!
I set out today with a goal of beating my PR and coming in under 2:20, maybe even closer to 2:15. Found my pacer before the race and had a game plan of staying behind him to start and then catching up/passing him in the second half
Well…I have no idea how he was pacing 2:20 cause during the second half of the race I never even saw him 😂
I ended up finishing with a chip time of 2:20:58 and you know what, I am so freaking proud of myself! Ran nearly to the point of puking, ran nearly the entire 13 miles without stopping to walk except for aid stations and a few other times. I was SO close to that 2:17 PR I could taste it, but I just couldn’t give any more. Or maybe I could have, who knows 🤷🏻♀️
Looking back on things though…the race I PR’d on for a half is SIGNIFICANTLY less difficult than cowtown. Swipe to see some elevation maps I nabbed…note the one that is alllll down hill haha.
So I may not have technically PR’d, but I felt really good this race and with the course I was given, I can’t ask for much better!
Fun fact: I finished my half marathon at the same time as the second place marathon runner 😂 now THAT’s fast!
Time to eat and drink ALL the things and take another nap! 😴 🏃🏻♀️

Cadwell Park Ducati Cup Rd6
The Lincolnshire circuit with its undulations and mix of corners is one of my favourites. The conditions also suited me. A damp free practice and less than ideal conditions in qualifying meant I was where I needed to be straight away.
I have been putting the miles in this season and it appears to be paying dividends. Confidence in the bike is high and I feel like I can push that little bit harder knowing I can trust the set-up and tyres. I had a little tumble at a club meeting test day a few weeks back but if I am honest that’s exactly what I needed. I pushed a front tyre to the limit of wear and beyond, down I went. I now have a good idea of how hard I can really go with the front before it lets go. It also meant that I could show the current technicians how to replace a Giamoto rearset and a full set of R&G crash protection on the right hand side of the bike. Positives from Negatives and all that!
Free practice was exactly as it suggests so no pressure to perform. Thankfully I had a set of well worn wet tyres on some rims so chose to use those. The track was pretty wet but a dry line was increasing as the session progressed. I went as hard as I felt was appropriate but with everything to lose and nothing to gain I saw no point in crashing just to be up there on the time sheets. P11 with plenty more left if conditions were similar for qualifying or a race.
As it turned out the weather played a part in proceedings on Friday and our qualifying session got moved to Saturday morning in place of our warm-up. The right decision to make as the surface water for the Superbikes was terrible and clearly riding in those conditions was unsafe. This meant we finished fairly early on Friday and I had chance to fit a new Lighttech adjustable brake lever and give the bike a good once over. Decisions on gearing, fuel load and suspension all made. All we could do was wait and hope the weather improved by morning.
The rain continued into the early hours and with our qualifying being the second session on Saturday it was always going to be a tough decision on tyres. I had a walk to look at the track and it was still very wet in places but I knew it would dry fast. My instinct was telling me to put wet tyres in the bike but from experience I knew that the right call was otherwise. Brand new Pirelli Supercorsa dry tyres went in but I stuck with my wet gearing. Conditions were difficult so I took a while to get going, as did most of the other riders. As the track started to dry the lap times came down. My fastest lap came on my penultimate circulation and had it not been for another rider backing out of his lap at an awkward place right in front of me I think my fastest would’ve been my last. P11 yet again and I knew I had more left at race pace on a dry track.
Race one and I got a reasonable start and managed to draw up level with my teammate by turn one but it wasn’t quite enough to get by. I made up one place off the start but it didn’t last and at the end of Park straight I got passed by both Cheetham and Couzens in one go. It unsettled me a little and I lost a bit of ground to them both which meant I had a lot of work to do catching them. I could see by my board the gap to the bike behind was growing so I concentrated on catching Dan Couzens. The gap to Dan stabilised to around three seconds in the early laps and it seemed like a huge undertaking to reel him in. By lap ten I was within half a second and I could see back markers coming to us. I knew that I could capitalise if it went wrong for Dan so tried to get as close as I could. We caught Andy Booth through Halls Bends and we both got by between the Hairpin and Barn. By now I was on Dan but couldn’t quite work out where to pass. As it happened he made a mistake exiting the bottom chicane before the Mountain. Wrong gear for him meant a split second for me to get by. I made it stick and and got my head down to get clear.
I tried to ride defensively onto Park straight to force him to ride around the outside at the end. Even so, he squeezed in on the right in the braking zone but I knew he would have to work hard to haul it up and not run too deep. I waited a little then cut back on the inside before Chris curve. I knew he wouldn’t get another chance before the end of the race so concentrated on hitting all my marks to keep him at bay. P10 after a lot of hard work was rewarding and to get it after catching and scrapping with Dan made it an enjoyable race.
Sunday was a long day. Our race was the last race of the day so we had been given a warm up. I wanted to try a few things and warm-up was the ideal chance. I had a fairly new (to me) technician so a full gearing change meant he got to see how to change a front sprocket and measure swing arm length. My dry gearing was 14/42 but I wanted to run a slightly shorter swing arm to help with direction changes so a change to 15/45 was required. Same ratio and shift pattern but hopefully slightly more responsive on changes of direction.
No issues in warm-up except I was unsure of gearing. I still felt like I wasn’t quite riding quick enough to make 14/42 or 15/45 work. It felt a little lazy in places. I had all day to make a call so left it until about an hour before the race.
Last race of the day is always tricky. Mindset changes slightly over the course of the day. As a team we try and pack up as much as possible prior to the race so the sense that it is all over before we even race often comes through. That said I made the call on gearing and went to 14/43 so was keen to try it and see if I could put in a better lap time.
We spent a fair while in pitlane prior to our race due to the formalities after the Superbike race. Podiums and winners parade laps in the car all have to take place before we are allowed out.
Away for the green flag lap and I got the sense my teammate had a bike issue. That was confirmed when he pulled up at the bottom chicane to look down at his bike. Further tinkering on the grid from him had me worried and I could only hope it was nothing too serious.
Away well again and I held 12th from 12th on the grid. What was promising was keeping the leaders in sight. Middlemas went down on the opening lap at the bottom of the mountain so I crossed the line in 11th and more importantly, in front of Couzens. I could already sense it was going to be a long hard race so I did my best to not make any mistakes. I could see my teammate a little way in front of me so I was relieved his bike issues weren’t too significant.
My board was telling me Dan was closing me down. Half a second as we crossed the line to start lap five. Exiting Charlies two I made a mistake and got on the throttle a little too early, pushing me wide and heading for the grass, I had to roll the throttle for a split second. That was enough and I knew Dan would pass me. The gap increased to just over a second but again I knew back markers were coming to us so I grafted to get back on his wheel. We caught Booth between Mansfield and the Chicane. Dan committed to going under him into the Chicane but backed out at the last second. This meant both he and Booth were slow on exit whereas I had run in to the Chicane fairly quickly. I went for it and squeezed between them before the bottom of the Mountain. I knew Booth was on my right and getting ready to tip into the corner. Turns out Booth did tip in behind me and almost had Dan off as he followed me through.
Dan fought back of course and I think it was the end of that lap he tried to pull the same move into Park Corner on the brakes. Again I anticipated he would run a bit deep so cut back under him. I think he was expecting it on that occasion and he tried to pull it back to block me. Very close racing but great fun. Next challenge was another back marker into Mansfield. This time it was me being indecisive. I went to go under Thrower into Mansfield but felt it was just a little too late to go for it so backed out. Hard on the brakes and down an extra gear to get the drive out of the corner to pass him before the Chicane. I kind of hoped Dan wouldn’t get through so I had a little breathing space but he made it too. He then proceeded to chase me for the whole of the last lap and true to form he dived under me on the brakes into Park. He made it stick and although I thought about pulling a move at the Hairpin after he made a mistake over the Mountain I decided that a top ten for both of us was better than ending up in a heap at the second to last corner. Discretion the better part of valour, as they say.
A good weekend of racing with Dan and another two top ten finishes to my tally. Tangible progress and to be within 35 seconds of the winner is a big thing for me. I didn’t quite get into the 1:33 lap times but a PB with a low 1:34 was still good. Chipping away getting closer to the front with a bike that is sorted makes a difference. The two technicians that worked on the bike this weekend left nothing to chance and that showed with the results. One hundred percent confidence in the bike means I can focus on what I need to do out on track.
Assen next and another circuit I like, hopefully keep the momentum and try and get into the top ten in the main championship.

Race Recap: TriBoulder Beast Aquabike
What: TriBoulder Beast Aquabike
Where: Boulder, Colorado
When: July 22, 2018
Distance: 1.2 mile swim, 50 mile bike
IM Boulder 70.3 is only 2 weeks away at this point. Although I live 10 minutes from the bike course, I refuse to train on it because of road traffic. This race’s bike course closely matched most of the HIM course, so I thought it would be great practice. Although it wasn’t closed for race day, at least I would be cycling with a bunch of people.
So that was my plan: just treat this like the last long training day before the HIM. Having this mindset really calmed me down and I felt relaxed the whole time before the start. The swim went relatively well. I took my time, but still managed to eek out about 1:45/100m. If I can stick to around 40min for the HIM, I’ll be happy and it will mean I have fuel in the tank for the rest of the race.
Once I hopped on my bike, I had to keep telling myself that this was a training day and to relax. I have the tendency to try to overdo it when people are passing me by the droves, but I focused on my breathing and repeated “this is just training.”
The course was broken up into 2 laps. My first lap was fast especially after that initial long stretch of false flat. By my second lap, I hit a headwind that lasted the whole time which slowed me down as well as impending soreness. I had to take a quick water and stretch break at mile 44 which really got me through the last 6 miles. I overheard some people talking about how once they stop cycling, it’s really hard to start back up in a race. But for me, a very quick stretch break makes a huge difference. I plan on taking quick stops during each aid station during the HIM for both the run and cycle.
This was my first Aquabike, and the absolute best part was going into T2, running out, and then immediately running through finish and being done. I’m definitely going to do this distance more often since I’ve noticed that, although I love it, running is the sport that causes me the most injuries.
Overall, I was happy with my bike time, but I will definitely have to push a little bit harder for HIM. My soreness on the bike was caused mostly by outside factors like my bike seat and shoes, so I’m planning to push a little more during the HIM to try to shave some time. I did feel like I had more in the tank for a longer run, which is good.
My goals for this race were to practice the bike course and work on nutrition as I’m switching to all liquid. I was able to accomplish both!
Plus I won 3rd in my AG and got a sweet medal. I left my cycling sunglasses at home and had to cycle in my “going out” sunglasses, but they worked surprisingly well even if I did look like a dufus.

I blogged about my {mentally} challenging race yesterday over on @restonstyle and I’ve brought up my takeaways from it to my swimmers several times this week. . 1) when you don’t feel good, do it anyway 2)when you fall, get up 3) when you want to quit and just run home, keep going 4) when it feels hard, let It. Enjoy the hard work. 5) when you’re struggling, let a friend lift you up 6) walk when you need to walk, fly when you feel like flying, just keep doing the work. 7) the results will always take you by surprise at the end. . Check out my full, two year review on the blog! . #latergram #racereport #runner #running #showyourpr #prr #halfmarathon #restonstyle (at South Lakes High School)

Race review: Runfest Richmond Marathon (15/09/2019). Alright, so this was my first marathon in the UK. Having done an HM in 1:33 this spring and doing another round of training during summer, I was aiming for sub-3:00 ideally, or, closer to reality, anything between 3:00 and 3:10 at very last. Four weeks back before the race, I passed my peak of 110 km a week and started tapering, reducing mileage & adjusting the nutrition. The week before the race was quite light, though looking back I think I could make it even lighter. On race day, I felt super excited and full of energy. This played a bad joke as I took the front group of runners aiming for sub-3:00. Many of them began way too fast, so I quickly reached my LT since I was heroically trying to keep up and bridge the gaps. Wish I had that energy after 30th km when 3:00 pacemaker took over me, and here I made another mistake trying to follow the pace group, which was obviously running faster than what I could afford at that point. This falsy move made me dying last ~5-7kms, all the way to the not so glorious finish. 3:05 in the end: thanks to some advantage I've built up in the beginning, but still could be better, live and learn. Organisation was great (despite the usual lack of parking in London), so were the spectacular Kew Gardens & Richmond Park. #marathon #running #london #richmond #runfest #racereport #racereview #firstmarathon #marathonuk #olddeerpark #kewgardens As always, don't forget to check out the complete report in my blog.

#racereport #imwaco703 T2, Run . Pt 3 I tried running through T2 but holding the handle bars on my bike while running in cleats was causing my neck/shoulder to tighten. I felt like it was starting to spasm so I walked in and STRUGGLED to get the bike up on the transition bar without pulling or straining a muscle in my neck. 😖 Everything else went smoothly, I lost the arm warmers, had a GU and drank some more. I had to do a mandatory bathroom break and lo and behold, a LINE at the portapotties. 🤦🏻♀️ I ran out of transition in typical trunk for legs form but as I approached the waters edge, I felt fantastic. The weather was perfect, I noted the change in the course. They spared us, I thought. Last time, less than a mile in, we were climbing up this surprise hill and we all looked at each other with a “WTF is this hill?” look. Now, fully prepared for said hills, they came later. But not much later. 😕 My pace quickly came to a screech even though I pushed to run up as much as possible. This proved to be a horrible idea. The tightness from the wind on the bike was not isolated to my neck, shoulders and back. It also made my hips, glutes and hamstrings so tight that my IT band was as stiff as a board causing my knee to inflict incredible pain on me. I probably could have bought some time (and distance) had it continued to be a flat course. But running up that first hill was enough to ruin what I thought would be an awesome run. I managed to run as much as I could, walk up the hills and fly down the hills until my knee just stopped liking the flats too. I tried stopping and stretching. Walking through aid stations (and beyond). There may have been some crying at about mile 7 when I thought I would have to walk the whole thing in. Now, I have a pretty high pain tolerance, I’ve run through an entire half marathon injured before. And PR’d! 😳The pain I felt I can best describe as someone pushing a screwdriver into the side of your knee. Lovely, right? I felt like if I pushed too hard, I might collapse and not be able to finish. And hell nah... Cont in comments (at Ironman Waco 70.3) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4yqrSDgCGG/?igshid=8hl68ospxb3v

The Portland Marathon was my second marathon of the year, in fact my second in 2 years. I am registered to run Chicago, but with New York so close after, I can’t take time off for both. So I chose NYC of course! Portland replaced Chicago. Roy and I walked to the start line from our hotel, which was conveniently less than three blocks away. We arrived around 6:15 for the 6:30 start. We wondered aloud why no one was in the corrals. Then the announcer announced that we had to have our drop bags in by 6:40. Okay, so attention to detail has not been my forte lately. About 5 minutes later the announcer announced race time was at 7:10. Back to the hotel for half an hour. Damn, could have slept in until 6:00! Mile one I immediately noticed pain in my left foot. I wasn’t cconcerned. I’ve I’ve learned anything in 121 marathons it’s that pain is rarely linear. It usually works itself out unless it’s a true injury. I knew I didn’t have an injury so I expected it to subside at any time. The race course was changed this year. The good: It goes through a lot of quirky and fun neighborhoods. I really enjoyed seeing the diversity of the different areas of Portland. No more out and back on St. Helens. The bad...no more St. John’s or Steel Bridges. We did tour some of the not so savory parts of Portland. As far as how I felt, other than my foot that really hurt from mile 0 to 22 and then for some reason zero pain until 24, I felt good. Yeah, I got a little knee pain towards the finish, but it was more effort pain than injury pain. My goal was to finish upright and smiling. My reach goal was under six hours (I have seriously slowed down) and my pie in the sky goal was 5:45. I finished in 5:57:17! That is quite a bit faster than my last marathon. Other than my foot, I felt fabulous. After the finish line I saw Roy through the fence and got a kiss. Then went through the food area and got some water and my rose. Three different men came up and shook my hand because we kind of played cat and mouse the entire race. That was nice. Oh and I got TONS of compliments on my outfit, including being told I was for sure the “best dressed in the race”! #racereport #pdxmarathon https://www.instagram.com/p/B3S_FrpgnBe/?igshid=3lhru1ctz7tj

2019 Ducati Cup underway.
Another season started with this amazing group of people. I have handed over the THR instagram to another member of the team so that will free me up a little at the meetings to concentrate on the task in hand. It will also mean that the instagram feed will be a little more real time rather than images being posted retrospectively. You can find it here:
https://www.instagram.com/trueheroesracing/
It also means I can put a little more time into my tumblr to keep everyone updated.
The first race meeting of the year is always a bit manic with finishing touches falling into place and everything settling in. Our team is all voluntary so we never know until the weekend starts who we are going to get. This season there are plenty of new faces joining us which is a good thing. A race weekend is a big production so having plenty of hands on deck (team manager is Royal Navy so that’ll keep him happy) is essential. There are quite a few people missing from this team image, they left a little early before the final tear down. It’s always a challenge getting everyone who helps out into a group photo but this will probably be the biggest number we manage to get in one place at one time.
From a racing point of view it was a mixed bag for myself and the other riders. We ran three bikes at Silverstone for the opening round. Two Ducati 959 Panigales in the Ducati Cup and a GSXR1000 in the Superstock 1000 class. Myself and Dave “Salty” Sellers are pretty much guaranteed a race so our qualifying is more about grid position than actually getting to race. Jim Walker who rides the SSTK1000 bike has a tougher time. The early meetings are always over-subscribed for the amount of grid slots so qualifying is the order of the day. Jim has had bike issues the last couple of outings so never really got up to speed on the new bike. This meant that by the time the niggles were sorted it was his qualifying session. Needless to say, without valuable track time prior to his qualifying he was on the back foot. He didn’t qualify to race but at least the bike issues are solved and we can look forward to the next round at Oulton Park.
In the Ducati Cup qualifying session I never really got my finger out and only managed to secure 24th on the grid. A good 1.5 seconds off my pace from last year. Salty was up to speed straight away and managed a good solid 9th on the grid.
Race 1 of the weekend didn’t quite go to plan for me. Having done one outlap and two green flag laps I was all fired up to make a bit of progress and get up to the riders I usually run with. I got a cracking start and passed quite a few riders before turn one. That’s when it all went a bit pear shaped, as I pushed the right handle bar to turn in there was very little resistance and I had to sit up and run wide off the track. Turns out the bar had sheared half way through at the clamp end. With it hanging on by a thread I limped back to the pits and that was my race over. Although it was disappointing I count myself very lucky it happened where it did and how it did. We will never know why the component failed so there is no point dwelling on it. Salty had a better time and ended up finishing 8th which is the best result the team has ever had in a National race.
Race 2 Grid positions go off fastest lap time for race 1 so Salty dropped down to 10th on the grid and I was relegated to 33rd and had a lot of work to do. This time fortune favoured me but Salty went down early on in the race with a high side just before coming onto the Wellington straight. Big hit to his head but he got up and staggered away. I remember seeing his bike and visor lying in the track as I went by so I knew he’d had a knock. Bike was ok(ish) and he was fine. I got a good start again and managed to pass nine riders on the first lap. Things then settled down and the work started to catch the group in front of me. All were riders who I would normally be battling with but they were just out of reach. Prior to the race I knew that if I didn’t get near them early on I would struggle as we are all on the same bikes and running roughly the same lap times. I was mindful that to crash would be a blow to morale so the urge to push was somewhat diminished, especially having seen my team mate go down. Perhaps the wrong mindset to have but a finish was required to set me up for the next meeting. P33 to P19 was ok and although I was .5 second a lap slower than last year I was happy to bring it home.
Next round is Oulton Park in two weekends time so preparations have already begun. The team vehicles are stored in different locations so depending on where the next meeting is dictates where they are stored. All have gone to the respective locations and once our shop stock and victuals are replenished we should be good to go for a little visit to Chesire. Oulton Park is also the first meeting for our Sidecar so the workload will increase slightly.

Well - first off- Ironman Barcelona is a flipping amazing race. World class setting, beautiful course, and affordable accommodation right next to the race start. Highly recommended you check it out. Today’s race was a return to pro Ironman racing with 3600 age groupers and 70 guys originally on the start list and about 50 showing up. The speed of the swim caught me a bit off guard- I came out of the water a bit back of my usual split but ended up on the front end of a group of 20 guys. I knew there was no chance at getting away on a flat course like this but wanted to stay up front to avoid any risk of crashes. Riding felt strong and I was pretty happy with how I strong legs coming in to the second transition. On the run I stuck to my game plan and went out slow. I really felt confident after moving up the field - and was sure a top 15 or top 12 was possible- but I obviously made some mistakes with my nutrition somewhere - and it came back to hit me pretty hard with 17km to go. I got moving again a bit but had faded out of the top 20 despite still putting together a 8:35 race. Glad to be back in the mix of things at a high caliber race- but now just SO HUNGRY FOR MORE! . . . #ironmanbarcelona #imbarcelona #triathlon #triathlete #gotri #dare2tri #trilife #roadtokona #swimbikerun #racereport #getoutside (at Ironman Barcelona) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3SNS2yJOLk/?igshid=y1libg7hnc3m

Yesterday’s #southdublin10k was a big success :) I haven’t done much speed work before but still managed to go below 40’ - ran for a glorious 38.59 minutes -super happy and looking forward to half and #kbcdublinmarathon in coming weeks! It was also lovely to meet strong @polishrunnersclub representation ! 💪🏻🏃♂️🇮🇪💚🇵🇱#kbcdublinraceseries #kbcdublinmarathon2019 #dublinhalfmarathon #running #runningmotivation #twitch #twitchstreamer #twitchgamer #runner #race #raceday #racereport #fitgamer #fitnessmotivation #tri #triathlon #biegacz (at Grange Castle Business Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0O8vQ9ItkM/?igshid=17n1bajq6y6fp
