Congratulations to 2 of my athletes today for their excellent results at the World Champs.  Phil Wolfe finished 4th in the U20's and Rachel Stoakes came 6th on the 20-24 race.



In relation to the Deca in Mexico:  I'm not sure if the new format of '10 Ironmen in 10 days' is a true ultra challenge.  At the end of the day the athlete would go back to the warmth of their hotel room, get a decent night's sleep and have a hearty breakfast before another day in saddle/trainers.  The pure and original format of a 24 mile swim, 1120 mile bike and a 262 mile run is on a completely different level.

I have a few ideas.  I will stick a pin in it for now but as a taster - who fancies doing a Deca in the UK??
