Going long…
Only 5 weeks between IM Lanzarote and IM Nice, and I managed to sneak in both my longest ride ever and longest run ever (outside of a race). Feeling rather good as well, let’s see if that pays!
Mallorca 70.3 2015
After weeks of procrastinating, hoping to go racing in Vietnam but failing to find affordable flight tickets (I missed them while i was recovering from the paratyphoid and unsure whether I could race again so soon), I did decide for Mallorca at the last minute. 4th year in a row, not going into the unknown…
70.3 Philippines / Paratyphoid Fever
After 2 months off post Maui, and barely 6 weeks of training in my legs, the appeal of a race in the Philippines had obviously a lot more to do with the incentive of a tropical holiday than the buzz of toeing the line unfit next to the likes of Craig Alexander or Luke McKenzie.…
KROSSFINGERS GUEST MIX
I have now the pleasure and pride to have a mix featured on the classy Krossfingers blog. In very good company here! It did take me a bit longer than usual to do this mix, the idea was to play mostly old records and surprise the blog’s head honchos Sasha Tessio and Artem Ikra. Not…
2014: A Year In Music
And what a year it was! Music, whether listening to, dancing to, digging and filing records has once again been my drug of choice, keeping me sane and smiling always. Countless hours were spent week in week out socialising, dancing, listening, debating, upgrading audio, etc from the natural hub that has become Brilliant Corners, which…
Requiem Pour Charlie
Mon 1er Charlie c’était un cadeau de mon papa quand j’avais 16 ans (après ou avant il y a eu les bouquins de Cavanna, je sais plus). Depuis plus de 20 ans je suis abonné fidèle, la seule année où non c’était quand j’étais aux States, mais même là ma maman m’en envoyait des exemplaires…
The Gauntlet (1/2 IM)
Last minute decision for me to take part in this 1/2 iron distance race, part of the Hever Castle triathlon festival in Kent (2 days of multiples events and 7000 triathletes overall!). I noticed a decent prize money, checked the weather forecast and blagged a free entry from Speedo (thanks Dan!) – all clear! …
Ironman Japan 2014
After my DNS @ IM Nice in June, this was a race I wanted to do well at, an A race so to speak. Obviously the training hadn’t been regular these last 4 months with barely any swimming and running due to broken bones and other injuries, but I did manage to get on the…
Beauty And The Beat / End Of The Night Top 12
“It’s Sun Ra. You can dance to it. That’s why Beauty And The Beat exists.” The ever so lovely Dr Rob @ Test Pressing asked us what a top 12 of end-of-the-night tunes would sound like and this is what we came up with. Here’s the reproduction of the original Test Pressing post. All bona…
Brazilian Fever
Here’s the latest mix I did for the ever excellent Test Pressing website, fast becoming the mini bible for all things balearic. It’s a freestyle all Brazilian mix, bossa, samba, jazz, funk etc, one for the summer, with or without the football. Listen here
