This Month’s Q&A with Chris Gibbs.
It’s quite possible that unless you have raced in the same races as Chris you may have only seen his name when looking at your weekly Strava results. His name is invariably nestled toward the top, usually between a few athletes that are at a training camp or cycling holiday. Of course if you’ve hung around until the end …

Lincsquad’s Q&A with Sue Hoare.
It’s with great pleasure that I had the chance to interview Sue Hoare, (Lincsquad’s very own Beryl Burton) for this month’s Q&A. You only have to see Sue at Sportives to realise that cycling has been a big influence in both her and late husband Donald’s life. Hope you enjoy this as much as I did.

Ironman Barcelona 2015
Unlike the name suggests Ironman Barcelona actually starts and finishes in the coastal town of Calella and stealing a glance at the horizon whilst enjoying the fast bike course is as close as you’ll get to the Catalan capital. This is by no means a negative thing. The host town makes for a great holiday …

Barry, the NHS and my first Ironman There are certain events in your life time that will stand out forever; your first Ironman is one of those events. My journey began after watching Ironman Wales in September 2014, I was in awe of how tough the course was, and how hard core the athletes were …

Helvellen Triathlon Race Report by Phil Gibbs.
The last time I wrote a race report was for Wetherby Olympic Tri in 2012 so after a prompt from Dave Hinch I thought it was time I got my typing finger out! The other reason is to let you guys know about a truly great event that should really feature on your bucket list. …

The Sundowner Half Ironman.
The relevance of the name ‘Sundowner’ probably needs more explanation to those that haven’t done this race before. Most races involve setting your alarm clock and rushing, still bleary eyed to race briefing for 07:30. Not this one! This race starts at the more friendly hour of midday. This is great for getting your kit …
