Check out our latest blog from MBPC Tri coach Tom Davies. Why a 12-Week Bespoke Kona Plan Could Be the Difference Between Finishing... and Racing Well.
……………..
Kona Isn’t Just Another Ironman
It’s easy to think that because you’ve qualified, you simply need to keep doing what got you there. The reality is that Kona presents a completely different challenge.

The heat, humidity, crosswinds, rolling terrain all mean that your preparation needs to be more specific than ever. What worked at your qualifier might not be enough when you’re standing on the Beach in October.

It’s Not Just About Training Harder

One thing we’ve learnt over years of coaching Ironman athletes is that doing more isn’t always doing better.

A good Kona build is about putting the right sessions in at the right time.

A quick round up of the CTT National 50TT this weekend. It was great seeing the team all back on it. We had Laura Davies 1st In the women’s in 1:57:44 and Emily Martin back on it which is great to see, getting 1st road bike in 2:10:21. We had the guys winning the team prize with Tom Lee getting 3rd in 1:44:50, Jake Sargent 5th 1:45:22 and Dylan Griffiths 6th in 1:45:25 and Rob Francis 8th in 1:46:12. Great team work from all.

Triathlete Alex Jones got 2nd overall in the British Middle Distance Championship, great results.
……….
Coached rider Victoria Stansfield Victoria Stansfield rode the Marmot this weekend and won the fastest female overall. Awesome result.
………
Then a mention to my son Luke Bottrill and friend Mark Fanning who did their first open 10TT Team Time Trial on road bikes with me last night at Mallory Park. He has only ridden a road bike 4 times as he loves riding mountain bikes, but he smashed it. Was a great event and we got 4th overall in a time of 23:23 definitely a proud dad moment, he was buzzing after.

MBPC Coached triathletes by smashing last weekend, Pete reports as follows,

Kate Nimmo raced at the Dambuster event – sadly a foot ni**le meant she had to switch from the standard triathlon to the aquabike, but she delivered a great performance. A customary excellent swim (only a few seconds off the fastest swim of the day across all age groups) set up her race. Kate has worked hard on her TT position and descending skills over the winter and spring, which helped propel her to the age group win. An impressive performance and taking the overall win at Dambuster!! especially so given how busy she has been at work. Cotswold Classic next!

Ivan Jones travelled over to the Netherlands to race the IM 70.3 West Friesland race. The goal was to bag a slot for the world champs in Nice, which he did in some style, winning his age group by 26 minutes. Solid swim followed by the fastest bike and run splits in his age group resulted in this impressive performance, even more so given there was little taper as we are focusing on the main goal of the year, Kona.

Great work coach and athletes👊

Tale of Two Championships

As you may of heard me speak about my star coached rider Jen Clegg, who is in her 70s and smashing it! When people come in for bike fits I have picture of Jen in the office on her bike in full aero position from a race and I refer to it on a daily basis, so when people say “I can’t train aero” I say look at Jen and it often blows their mind. She’s awesome! I wanted Jen to do a write up about 2 of her most recent victory rides. This lady is truly inspirational!!

The VTTA 10 mile Championship in May was on F11/10.This course has a ‘gift’ hill – one you don’t have to reclimb. It is a safe 6%, well protected from wind by a cutting & trees. Most of 2025’s potholes had been filled in. The day brought dry roads, a perfect temperature, & still air. New neuromuscular pathways created by PT Charlotte Wheatley connected my brain to more of my body paid off. On actual 23.40, Age Adjusted Time 16.41) I won both the overall win & the F championship. I also was part of the East Midlands the group award (me, Richard Oakes & Mike Twelves), and got a new national age record.

The VTTA 25 mile Championship in June on F2/25D has11 roundabouts! I was lucky to meet only one oncoming car. The race almost ended disastrously. Riding around Madingly RAB for the last time a previous route popped into my melting brain, & I headed towards the 3rd exit where an old course finished. I owe my win to the alert marshal who frantically waved me to the 4th exit, ensuring that I ended in the right place.
My time (Actual 1.01.43, AAT 43.41) got me the win, tied with Masters legend Linda Dewhurst. Team Bottrill Nopinz also won the team prize (me, Matt Uttley & Keith Dorling. Also an East Midlands win on the group prize (me, Richard Oakes & Mike Twelves). Pending ratification, that is also a new VTTA National Age Record. Those new brain-body connections counter age-related declines in HR & power, & helping me understand how to get the best out of my Liv Avow TT bike. The only problem is it now takes a full 15 minutes for me to come down after a race.

Two time USA National TT Champion for Taylor last weekend.

I love working with Taylor for her bike fit element, she is an extremely talented and hard working athlete and I love her drive to always improve and want more.

I had the pleasure of her coming over to the studio and down to the windtunnel with a Drag2zero last month, it was a great couple of days, it’s all coming together and I’m excited to see how the rest of season goes.

Awesome work Taylor 👊 Taylor Knibb Drag2Zero
