The London Triathlon is always a great day in the diary. HUGE event with expo and many, many entrants of all abilities. The STANDARD/OLYMPIC TRIĀ is usually the one with the iconic bike route…2015 was different I think.

My favourite kit and nutrition
- Injinji – Runners protect your toes. Avoid discomfort and minor injury. Run more. Run faster. I use them.
- Garmin 90-degree charging adapter ā The small adapter that keeps your charging cables tidy. Essential for race day. I use one.
- Garmin charging puck ā the fastest and most reliable way to top up your Garmin before a session. I use one.
- Ravemen FR300 ā Front light that mounts directly under your Garmin or Wahoo head unit. Keeps your bars clean and your beam pointed where it matters. I use one.
- Body Glide – The blue anti-chafe stick that all swimmers and many runners use. I use it.
- Maurten ā The race nutrition trusted by elite athletes. Gels and drink mixes engineered to be easy on the stomach. I use them.
- Garmin Varia RTL515 ā A radar rear light that alerts you to vehicles approaching from behind. Pairs with your Edge or Garmin watch. I use this model.
- Favero Assioma Pro RS2 ā The power-meter pedals most serious cyclists choose. Accurate, easy to move between bikes. I use this model.
- Garmin Forerunner 970 ā A serious choice for a pro-grade triathlon watch. I use this.
- Polar H10Ā ā My daily driver for accurate, waking HRV readings.
- Wahoo ELEMNT Roam 3 ā The bike computer that has the feature Garmin lacks: usability. I use mine on most rides.
