Doping positives in triathlon seem to coming in at a rate unseen before. Did these athletes just resort to drugs this year? Likely they have been tested/investigated their entire career and just at the end they get found? There seems to be more of a story here...?

Friday 13th and handlebars snap in warm up!? Raced in Montreal super sprint eliminator triathlon today. Top 10 went through to final tomorrow and finished 11th after messing up T2 and not quite being able to catch again.. Lots of positives though for Edmonton next week!

My Grandpa's British record finally bettered after over 28yrs! Will always inspire me, what he was able to do for so long. Glad to see a new line in the sand though. Well done Alastair
