After racing in Ireland I went straight to Alhandra, Portugal for a european cup. I felt confident that I was back in business in the days leading into to race. This race = frustration I was swimming pretty well through the jelly fish 😳 and I could see I was in the first group so…

I had been feeling a bit better and was able to train normally so me and my coach decided to do a low key race, with no pressure where no one would know me to see where I was. We decided Irish sprint championships was a good option. So I headed to Dublin. The irish…

So after Arzachena I had some trouble recovering from my trainings and couldn’t do any intensities as they made me feel sick and gave me headaches. I had had migrains for 4-5 days after each of the races after having covid but I hadn’t been paying much attention to them and was powering through but…

On the 28th of may I took part in my first world cup of this season. This was the first race to count for the olympic ranking so the level was very high. The bike course was brutal with a climb of 1.5km between 15-20% which we had to go 3 times through. The run…

After getting back from a disapointing race in Caorle, I decided to take part in my first crit race ever. A crit is a points race. The night crit consisted of 35×1,2km and every 5 laps there was a sprint to get points. As it was my first I didn’t quite know what to expect…

On Sunday 24.04 Swiss Triathlon organised a squad race in Sursee. This race was meant to be a selection for the sprint european championships in Olsztyn. Having had only two weeks of proper training since covid I didn’t really know what performance I would be able to produce. The Race format was a super sprint…

On the 19.03 I was meant to be racing my first 70.3 in Lanzarote but unfortunately, on the Tuesday of that week, I tested positive for covid-19. It’s a hard pill to swallow as I had specifically adapted my training for this race and was feeling really fit. I had just ran a 10km PB…

One week after coming back from Fuerteventura I took part in the 10km in Payerne. I had had a pretty easy week and was feeling fresh, My only worry was my 10km pacing. The last 10km I had done I had had such a painful stitch that I was forced to stop on the side…

On the 20th of January we flew to Fuerteventura for a month’s training camp with the swiss team. My coach, Gordon Crawford, was also there as the Swiss elite team head coach. It was great having him at every session for this block. During those four weeks we were able to put in some quality…
