Always enjoy a nice easy season opener #cherrypick

I'm astonished I've not had David McNamee on the podcast earlier. The last time I spoke to David was in PTO event in Ibiza last year (11th place). I'm looking forward to hearing his plans for this season. Let me know if you have any questions for him.

One of the nicest people you can meet in Sport. Good luck in your next chapter 👊👊👊

I have the ‘emergency early morning’ croissant 🥐 ready for tomorrow. Good luck everyone 👊

“She can really use that motorbike to get away”

I feel like that’s something you shouldn’t hear watching triathlon 🤔

US 🇺🇸 Round Up:

- bagel consumption= 12
- paid $6.50 for a scone 🙄
- tipping is confusing (15/18/20/25%)🤔
- finished 7th in a world class field ✅
- spent my last afternoon at the Irish bar
- home time ✈️

🇺🇸 Day 2

- confused multiple times about what to tip 🤔 (10%/16%/20%/no tip)

- bagels for breakfast 🥯 (obviously)

- tried my tri suit on to make sure I was at race weight 👌 (very scientific)

- think swimming pools are the only things 🇺🇸 do smaller than Europe #yards

Made it to 🇺🇸 for the PTO US Open

- hotel has a vast bagel selection ✅

- watched a girl record a TokTok video with her chicken 🐓 in the park this morning

- found subway ✅

- fighting jet lag with American sized coffee and procrastinating over my first tweet in months

This is epic! Countless years of dedication from the coach and athletes to finally win the biggest club title in Britain.

Spent 3 hours in ‘Scotland’ on zwift today. Two key things missing:

- sadly there were zero bottles of Irn-Bru spotted plus

- a complete lack of coughing inducing pollution going under the Glasgow central train station tunnel.

As a Scottish person that’s my ‘happy face’ 😉.

Aiming to move that up a few (or 36 places) in 2023

First family Xmas dinner last night=

- fuelled todays 4 hour gravel bike ride with leftover panettone ✅

- currently in recovery mode with a box of Ferrero rocher ✅

Watching Euro xc champs. Three times the male commentator has mentioned the same females body shape.

Surely they can just talk about the race 🙄

1/12/22- today was the day.

I felt excitement whilst buying new bedsheets and towels.

Big sign I’m not a kid anymore.

Wrote this before my Kona debut. Still seems wise 7 years later 🍻.

Go time in Kona.

-Time to fly to the @protriorg Canada open

-Was an emotional goodbye at the airport today

- Had to explain that I wouldn’t be there to talk her for her daily walks and for belly scratching 🐶

- She got upset so I promised presents

T- 4 days to the World Champs.

Always good to catch up with Tri247.

Hopefully there’s another reason to catch up next week 👊

The American Adventure Continues:

- Recovery day fuelled by pancakes and maple syrup shots

- Cedar City bound for some altitude training (and more pancakes 🥞)

- Got asked what my first language was today (apparently it doesn’t sound like it’s English)
