The toughest triathlon 💭😍

The (CELTMAN) official film goes live tonight at 8pm online. Go check it out for a taste of what I had to endure to try complete one of the toughest triathlons out there... I mean check out the ‘RUN’ course 😮‍💨🗻 You’ll also get a little look at what I have signed up for AGAIN in 2024 (ballot depending) 😂😵‍💫

Dialled in 👀

You may have heard how bad the weather was at Ironman Weymouth… but to be fair it was not too bad at the beginning. Now swipe to see how bad it was for the other 90% of the ride 😅
I’m really happy at how my bike is coming along, especially on the TT bike. I only got this bike in March (my first tt) so it’s gonna take some time and adjustments to get it bang on. I’ve been working hard at pushing a controlled effort trying not to spike in power in training and it seems to have paid off (race data graph 3rd photo) .Felt super quick at Weymouth and I know I can go even quicker with a proper bike fit and a solid training block over the winter. Watch this space 👀🫡

3rd OVERALL!! PRIZE MONEY TOO 😮🤪🥉💸

Right here we go… Gullane Beach Triathlon (olympic distance)

Swim : 1500m 26 min
We were allowed to get a quick warm up before the gun went off. Thank god. It was choppy out there. Head down and sprint to the first marker. Usual, kicking, grabbing, swimming over the top of each other mixed with some big salty waves smashing your face whilst trying to catch a breathe. Managed to settle into a rhythm. I was in the chase pack of about 3-4 and I seemed to be doing all the work. How did i know this? Well I was getting my feet tickled the entire swim 😅 Aussie exit… back in for a second lap. Same again, tickle tickle. Came out the water in 5th.

Bike: 42km 1 hr 13
Hopped on the bike feeling semi lactatey from the run up to transition and the barbaric swim. Managed to do 80% of the course the day before which really helped. Felt fast on the bike averaging around 32/33 kmh. The course had everything, fast flats, steep hills, rolling hills & steep decent. Reserved abit of energy as I knew I had a hilly run coming up.
Had a god awful dismount and almost never stopped before the line carrying one of my shoes into T2😅 In to T2, trainers, hat, gel and off I went on to the run.

Run: 10km 39 min 45
Like I said, this was a very hilly route. I almost walked up and points… celtman training kicked in. 3 guys in front. Pink sleeves… time to hunt. Caught him on the downhill towards transition on the first lap. Sprinted by him pretending I was fresh AF. All mental. 2 loop trail route. Passed transition with my no:1 fan giving me splits. 1 min behind 2nd… 3 behind 1st. Hmm 2nd could be doable. Turns out it wasn’t.

Crossed the line in 3rd position 🥉 I even won my first prize money!! £10… you gotta start somewhere right? Bloody awesome day and a good warm up for the final dance of the season 👀

Well done to everyone that toed the line and to the volunteers and marshalls who done a great job keeping us safe! There was such a lovely community feel!! I’ll certainly be back next year!
I LOVE THIS GAME!! 🤙

Course Recon 🏊‍♂️🚴🏻🏃✔️

We made it in one piece!! Only 1 hr 45 mins away but the weather was horrendous on that journey!! Anyways… the sun broke through and I checked out the swim (nice and salty) , cycled most of the bike course (smooth and fast 🤪) and went a little jog around part of the run section (mostly trail and hilly)!
Back to the airbnb, shave, shower, carb load and an early night.
Ready to go hard tomorrow at Gullane Beach Triathlon!! Should be a good warm up for the ‘A’ race in 3 weeks 🫠 See ya on the flip side ✌️

***must remember to take off my celtman number**

A new chapter 📘 (life/racing update)

What a mad week its been. We finally got the keys 🔑 to our first house as soon as I stepped off the plane returning from work. It has been all go since with a massive renovation project in our hands. Not complaining here… I thrive in these situations!

Between lifting floorboards, re-wiring, plumbing, plastering and alot of demolition I have been able to fit in a solid 14.5 hour training week of swim, bike n run.

RACE ANNOUNCEMENT!! So as you already know I dabbled in Olympic distance down in Guernsey a month ago for the first time and loved it! So much so, I have signed up and will be toeing the line at Gullane Olympic Distance 26/08. This will be the 27th year of the race!! Fun fact… this was Scotland's first sea swim based standard distance triathlon race.

My goal this year was to race as much as possible no matter the distance… just have fun with it.
This shorter distance should set me up nicely for the next big’un 🫢🫡

Yeeeeooooowwwww!!!!!

Do what you love, love what you do 💭

Abit of a life shift coming up in the next couple of weeks. New chapter you could say. Feel like I'm on (we're on) a trajectory at the moment. Keep moving forward. Everything will click into place.😊

BIKE (40k) 1:09:48 Pembroke Olympic Distance

My intention was to have fun in this race & enjoy it. No pressure.
"Jonny wheres your shoes"?!!! 😅 Nic's mum panicking as I was mounting the bike with no shoes. Unbeknown to her I was set up for a flying mount so the shoes were already clipped in. The coastal road was beautiful man. 07:30 in the morning so the roads were dead and I spent 90% of the ride alone. Sea breeze and smooth bitumen... perfect. I stuck some aero bars on the bike the night before and tried to find a comfy position. Thankfully the bike leg wasn't long as that seat was starting to cause havoc down below. 241w avg power, 252 w NP even with a chain thick with dirt and grease. I had no one to race, only two folk infront around 4 minutes ahead and no sign of anyone chasing. Just me and my bike computer. If only I had brought Maverick.
A marshal standing in the middle of the road, hi-vis pointing the way and I still managed to fly by them and head the wrong direction 🥴 I even managed to go the wrong way coming into T2
Out and back with a hilly loop. Bliss.
40k done and I was feeling fairly fresh coming into transition. I could get used to racing this distance. Again I managed to whizz by the transition entrance despite the cry from the Treacy's. Bike racked, sneaks on. Let's run.

🥈 2nd OVERALL at Pembroke Olympic distance 🏊‍♂️🚴‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Came to Guernsey to visit & ( mum & dad)! Feeling fresh 2 weeks after Celtman. Borrowed a bike and entered a local Olympic distance triathlon hosted by . First time at this distance. Didnt know what to expect. Made the podium, came 2nd 🥈. Course was awesome and so was the race organisation. Well done to everyone who toed the line!! You know I like to elaborate a tad with my race recap so sit tight for that.
For now though, we're on our holidays so it's time for a cold yin ✌👌

RUN 42KM 5:22:29 (1700m) ⛰

Thank god it's the run. First couple of K'S were super hard after such a battle on the bike. Running through Kinlochewe was alot of fun, tunnel vision and the sound of cow bells. I seemed to be on road longer than I thought I was meanto be. Looking behind, no one there. This was 7.5 hours in so you can imagine I'm not really thinking straight. Where the f**k are the signs!!?? As I was running on the road UPHILL and soon realised everyone passing in their support vehicles were giving me funny looks. I stopped one. Is this the right way??? Map on their phone. Time is ticking. No mate, back down that road and take a left onto trail. I hammer it down this road, carefully treading over the cattle grid looking for some sort of sign!? 'Aww it's this way!!'. Three folk standing infront of the arrow, 1.3km extra... as if I needed that. Back on track through what felt like peoples back yards. Bush, gravel, hills, rivers... first 18k had it all. Then there it was towering over me. The mountain. This is my jam. Just like every Sunday long run over the Arrochar alps. My time to shine. 'Jonny your in 12th bro'. Water, more gels, 2 minute mandatory kit check. seemed like 10. Right let's smash this. Head down, breathe and move forward as quick as possible. One by one we started picking them off. Got to the first summit in 8th. Along the ridge, the stillness in the air and the sound of thunder rolling in was quite the vibe. Stick with me Bryman. We made it to the Scree section in one piece. Marshall's closed off around 1.4k due to a high risk of lightning. Two infront. Pick'um off. Marshall..YOUR 2ND!! Wit!??? Caffeine gel... I need to go bro. Bryman...'Just go!!'. Pelt it down. Bottom of the mountain... Nic is there with water. YES jonny!!! Your 3rd!! Eh??? No one passed me. Last 10k was road, thank F. Changed into road shoes and sent it. Levels of the crowd growing stronger. Nic meets me with 3k to go and we run together to the line. There it is, family screaming under the blue finish line.
Thank you Celtman Extreme Scottish Triathlon , I'll be back 😉
