It’s time to close this chapter…. This marks my transition from professional triathlon, a moment approached with both dread and excitement in equal measure.

Great to win at 70.3 Dubai this morning. Thanks for all the support on the course and any suggestions what to do with an afternoon off in Dubai? Preferably that doesn’t involve stairs.

Really disappointed with today. I thought I had a decent race in me. First ever DQ in any sporting event. Was on the wrong side of the buoy and I’ve seen it on video. But was disorientated after being hit and held under the water in the roughest swim I’ve ever done.

Tough day out there for both of us today. I gave it all I had after a very testing last month. I enjoyed being out on the race course and the body has held up fine.

That’s not how I wanted my last World Triathlon series race to pan out. I’ve struggled with an ankle injury for three months and have done everything possible to get it better and stay fit for racing. I knew I needed a lot of luck today and it wasn’t to be.

Happy to stand on a start line, race hard from the gun and get to the finish today. Felt good on the swim and the bike. Always knew coming into the race that the run was going to be a struggle. I’m going to build my running slowly over the next few months. It’s good to be back!

I’m grateful to have had my local canal to escape to over the years and especially these last 12 months. Spending time by water is good for the soul, and can help us all feel happier and healthier @canalrivertrust #HereForYou #LifesBetterByWater

I’m very excited to be involved in this project. A sub 7 hour Ironman distance event is a daunting task. But I am looking forward to the challenge. Maximising every detail and telling the story along the way.

Evidently a very tough decision for the IOC and other stakeholders to make but in my opinion the right one. Both, for the message it sends to people around the world battling with the virus and to give clarity to athletes attempting to prepare.
