When training turns to bleeding

I think most of us have been there before, Well i know i have . I use to be a bicycle courier , so i've left my fair share of skin on the ground, It's like a right of passage as a courier, If you turn up to work bleeding every-where "your cool" So i had my share of "cool" moments.

Anyway enough about me.

On this Occasion it was a Kristian Manietta out on a training ride preparing for Kona, when one thing led to another , then that thing leading him to another thing resulting in him eating the road... Ouch ..

A very unfortunate accident , Here's hoping he heals up quickly and can get back out on the road.... Chicks dig scars , so Charlotte probably loves him more now..

Heal fast matey... and thanks for the pic's...

I'm on the goldy

My computer died... but its back in action... so i can blog again.
Well i could have blogged from another computer ... but lets not get to technical about it.

I've been watching all the drama unfold over the last week, Alistair Brownlee is one fsat kid. 21 years on and running 29's off the bike... Damn .... looks like all the guys will be going back to run training over the winter.. because a new level has been set.

Has been great being here and actching up with every-one..

It's Ture

It's so True, only need to add blueseventy to that sentence .....then perfect.

Update from Rome (again)

Its been a busy week , the open water races are the only events on at the moment ,
But that doesnt stop the mayhem at the pool . We have been extremely busy making sure all the swimmers are kitted out and confident leading into there events. (wheather that be pool or open water)
See attached photo’s:

1) Brian Ryckeman and Maarten Van der Weijden talking about the mens 10k race afterwards
2) The booth where we have been providing suits for the swimmers during the week leading into competition. ( it's like sitting in a sauna down there)
3) Brendan Capell ( minutes away from the start of the men's 25k ) He's out there racing right now and one of the top favorites for the win.
I'll keep you posted with results.
The blueseventy nero 10k has been the choice of suit for open water swimmers with the majority choosing the wear our suits no matter the distance 5, 10 or 25 k.

ROME day 3 but really day 1.Reporting : Guy Crawford – and the ever chatty Dean Jackson

The first day has seen a phenomenal success for all athletes wearing the blueseventy 10k swimskins.

Results: Bronze Medal for POLIANA OKIMOTO ( Brazil) in the Women’s 5km competition
Sadly no medals in the men’s race but with the blueseventy nero 10k suit being the only Open Water specific swimskin it was clear which swimsuit was the preferred brand.

Activities:
Maarten Van Der Weijden Olympic Gold Medalist joined myself (Guy) and Steve Munatones to give a live twitter update of the race that was witnessed by several thousand (so our sources lead us to believe)
We helped Maarten to gain a VIP pass for the duration of the event (can you believe a Gold Medalist didn’t get one!!) For this Guy had to show a nipple….

Additionally, strong and future profitable alliances were made with all National Governing Bodies partaking in Open Water events (Specifically GB, USA and Brazil)

Further conversations with the BBC are looking fruitful for a televised piece from our living room showing all our suits on Thursday. For this Guy had to show other nipple….

Update: Found that Italy does not believe in the internet, IT has a different meaning here. BUT we will find a way for more in-depth reporting following another day in the water. (thanks to Jane in our New Zealand office for typing this up via phone)
