Tom Newman: September 2011
http://tommynewman.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 20 September 2011. Challenge Henley. 18.09.2011. (3.8km swim/180km bike/42km run). I went into Challenge Henley on Sunday with absolutely no idea how it was going to go. My training over the past 3 months hasn. 8217;t been anywhere near what id hoped for so confidence to be honest was really low. One thing I knew was I wasn. 8217;t injured and as such this was effectively my first iron distance race. I ran back to the car, put my foot down, called Ben @. And got my way back to Southfield. I arri...

Tom Newman: Time Trials
http://tommynewman.blogspot.com/2013/04/time-trials.html
Thursday, 25 April 2013. Biking has often been the strong point of my triathlon and I've raced in about 3 or 4 time trials over the course of the last few years. All 25mile races and with a pb of 00:56:20 about two years ago. Having not raced for sometime and with a desire to get my biking beyond where it was, I recently raced in the Redmon CC 25mile open event on Sunday 7th April. People often warm up on rollers or turbos parked by there cars whilst others head off down the road. The Redmon CC was a 25m...

Tom Newman: Maxifuel Duathlon - April 2012
http://tommynewman.blogspot.com/2012/04/maxifuel-duathlon-april-2012.html
Friday, 20 April 2012. Maxifuel Duathlon - April 2012. I raced only my second race of 2012 last Sunday having built up some decent core fitness over the past few months and mainly concentrating on my running. Just strange not to have a week / 10 days of training camp in the legs. Duathlons (Sprint - 5km run / 20km bike / 5km) are a great way to get a solid hour of hard work under the belt and really build some power into the legs and lungs. My T2 time really didnt help either! Posted by Tom Newman. 25 Ma...

Tom Newman: June 2013
http://tommynewman.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 4 June 2013. Property Triathlon - 17th May 2013. After a few rubbish years competing the Property Tri, I thought I might try do a little better this year. With over 1500 people competing and triathlon now being so popular it’s a very competitive day out so I knew I ought to be ‘on form’. I managed to get a lie down in between with my wave not off until 2pm! I got through the swim OK but was disappointed with my time of 13:16. I knew I’d got my self in a wiggle for the first 250 / 300 m...I got o...

Tom Newman: Grand Union Canal Half Marathon - Nov. 2012
http://tommynewman.blogspot.com/2013/01/grand-union-canal-half-marathon-nov-2012.html
Monday, 14 January 2013. Grand Union Canal Half Marathon - Nov. 2012. After a spell on the sidelines (from racing), I returned to action on 11. November for the Grand Union Canal Half Marathon. Whilst I’d been maintaining my fitness for the summer, I haven’t really raced for at least 4 months…more a mental break as opposed to anything else. My training has been consistently run focused so I felt in good nick coming into the race albeit a few kg’s over where I’d like to be…. For the first 400m, lobbed the...

Tom Newman: February 2011
http://tommynewman.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 8 February 2011. Lanzarote Training and Lanza Half Ironman - Feb 2011. So….continued on with that in mind and really just listening to my body and training actually went a lot better for it…. One of my pals, Jim Peet flew out on the Thursday and 70miles with him and a few others on the Friday was a welcome change to battling the wind myself. Good times…. A couple of guys came up to me after the race looking at me in a very bemused way…. ‘you ride fast no! 8217;…haha…. In summary though, I came s...

Tom Newman: Three year anniversary of bad times....
http://tommynewman.blogspot.com/2012/04/three-year-anniversary-of-bad-times.html
Monday, 30 April 2012. Three year anniversary of bad times. Three years ago last week, I was hit by a car on the Kings Road, SW6. Stupid driver pulled out in front of me, giving me no chance to stop. I broke my jaw in several places, fractured my skull and had multiple cuts, bruises and other issues. Three less teeth, a large metal plate and a number of screws and here I am today. Just found this pic flicking through the oldies. Posted by Tom Newman. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Races 2009 / 10.
