On Wednesday the 7th July I went to RAF Cranwell for the RAF Sprint Triathlon Championships. I was a little unsure how I would go due to having recently (10 days before) raced the European Long Distance Championships. Some people don't believe that you can be competitive over all the distances in triathlon. I have a different belief, having won the RAF championships at standard distance the week before the long course and then racing well in Europe followed by winning the sprint championships at Cranwell. My race went well with a P.B in the swim, I left transition on the bike and it was a very windy day which made the bike course hard but I had a strong bike leg and made good time. A swift transition saw me out on the run and in fine form. I felt fast and was catching lots of people from earlier waves and crossed the line in 1:03:58 to take the win by 32 seconds.
A week later I raced for RAF Waddington at the RAF Road Relay Championships at RAF Wittering. I was running the first leg for our team of 4. I ran a 16:40 officially and was pleased to be part of the winning team overall.

Well done Daz; great racing! Are all the issues behind you now or is it/will it be a case of constantly trying to stay one step ahead of everything.
T man,
just constantly keeping ahead of the game, got a good balance on the meds at the moment. Off to see specialist in a couple of weeks but don't anticipate them changing anything. Had some blood count issues last month but think they are settling down too.
