Wellington splits with Lessing?
Source: Tri247.com - 18:15 10/08/2009
The constant in Chrissie Wellington's Ironman career to date has been success: seven starts, seven wins, a world record and two World Championship wins in Kona, since her debut at the distance at Ironman Korea 2007. We thought the Chrissie 'news' this weekend would be her (narrow) defeat to fellow Brit Julie Dibens at the 5430 Long Course in Boulder, but no, a bigger story may be emerging. Triathlete Magazine is reporting, quoting Simon himself, that Chrissie has severed her coaching relationship with Simon Lessing. That would ...

Stannard involved in high speed crash
Source: Tri247.com - 11:00 01/06/2009
Riding a bike for a living, or for that matter as a hobby, can be risky business. Few riders escape without experiencing some kind of accident, and although quite often cars aren't involved there does seem to be an increasing number of accidents where they are. Richard Stannard has been reasonably lucky during his 12-year triathlon career, that was up until yesterday afternoon. Whilst out on a training ride Richard was hit at nearly 50mph by a reckless driver. Thankfully, Tri247 can report that although ...

Will Newbery: Buckler's Hard - and so am I!
Source: Tri247.com - 08:00 08/06/2009
In the weeks leading up to my first big test of the season, I had been going through a bit of an emotional roller coaster! It could be the amount of time I have spent with shaved legs, in lycra or just the fact that for the past seven months I have been living, breathing and (sometimes) eating training! I've done a few races this year (Heartbreak “half” marathon, Bath half marathon and Winchester sprint, but not as many as previous years – in an attempt ...

Source: Tri247.com - 08:15 17/07/2009
Last Sunday at Quelle Challenge Roth in Germany, Britain's double Ironman World Champion Chrissie Wellington maintained her unbeaten record at the ironman-distance, with her seventh win from seven starts. In the process, she smashed the previous world best time set a year earlier by Yvonne van Vlerken in the same race by 13 minutes and 49 seconds, setting a new mark of 8:31:59. I've been fortunate to be able to catch up with Chrissie post race, and talk about the event, her performance, and her plans for the ...

Kona: GB Pro athlete roundup
Source: Tri247.com - 17:00 11/10/2009
Henry Budgett had been out in Kona all week, and wraps up the race from the GB Pro perspective. A day of mixed fortunes here in Kailua Kona for the British. Phil Graves certainly made his mark on the pro field with a top five swim and nailed the bike prime like a guided missile - but that meant that he had to finish or forfeit the $5,000 bonus. Finish he did and when I saw him briefly in the chute he looked pretty happy with ...
