Our very own 'pocket rocket' and resident vet, Jo Sutton, is a huge triathlon talent. Despite a stressful and tiring journey that took two days, Jo raced her heart out at the recent IM 70.3 World Championships in South Africa - Nelson Mandela Bay. Her continued commitment, focus and sheer hard work paid off and she placed a fantastic 22nd in her age group coming in 123rd overall in a field that contained the best of the best. Simply awesome!

If you're considering racing IM Hamburg next year, take some time out to read #TeamTCUK athlete, Sara Deakin's event report. Sadly, race organisers cancelled the swim this year due to blue-green algae but that didn't stop Sara despite it being her favourite part of triathlon! Here's her fantastic insight into a truly memorable day's racing!

In my tri club everyone that goes long writes a race report to try and encourage others to give it a go and share what worked and didn’t. 

After smashing his way through IM70.3 Elsinore earlier this season, #TeamTCUK athlete Vilhelm Sundström set his sights on completing his very first Iron distance race at IM Vichy.

Pre-race

After taking part in two half Ironman races, #TeamTCUK athlete, Juliet Starbuck, made the move up to Iron distance racing and took part in IM Copenhagen this summer. She enjoyed her training programme (and the race of course!) so much, she's now tempted to sign up for her second Iron distance race next year. Suggestions for Juliet on a postcard please!
