Inspirational Video

Right click and open this to get this fantasic video of last years Half Ironman in Rapperwil.


Just looks like an amazing day. I can't wait to get in there and get going.

Race for me starts at 10:20am on Sunday 7th June. 1.9km open water swim, 90KM bike ride and ended with a half marathon. I'm aiming for a finish around 6hr:30 broken down as follows:-

  • 60 minutes 1.9k Swim/T1 change to bike.
  • 3:30 Cycle 90K/T2 change to run
  • 120 minutes half marathon run.
My best training sessions over the last 5-6 months have been
  • 44minutes for the swim.(indoor pool, so lake swimming will be slower)
  • 3:04:48 for the 90K cycle.(It was too fast a pace for race day)
  • 1:47 is my best race time for a half marathon which was Alloa in March this year. I've not ran the full whack half marathon since then but I'm a little bit faster now than I was in March. I'm certainly fitter.

  1. I hope the cheerleaders get their act together this year.. last year's looked a bit shabby and out of synch!! There's a fair chance that the big guy you see running in the video will still be plodding along :-)
