The first bike ride of the new year was meant to be about following the group for as long as possible, then settling into a nice steady pace if, or when, I got dropped.

It’s exactly one month today since my hip replacement. Thirty days since the moment I woke up in a hospital bed thinking, “Right, now what?” The first question that came to mind was, “Can I walk?” — which I quickly answered by nearly fainting on my first attempt. Humbling doesn’t quite cover it.

This past weekend, I took part in an endurance training camp in Khorfakkan, UAE—swimming, biking, and running alongside a group of passionate and committed people. But the real purpose behind it had nothing to do with triathlon.

This past week, I had the chance to attend the MSc in Applied Sport & Exercise Psychology residential at Setanta College in Dublin. After flying in from Dubai, it was an awesome experience that really reminded me how important it is to approach learning with an open mind.

I recently went for a bike fitting at Wolfi's Performance Centre in Abu Dhabi. A group of us were due for some updates, so we thought it might be a fun trip during the Eid break.

Last night, Rory McIlroy reminded us why sport is the ultimate mirror to life. One round of golf — and yet it felt like a lifetime compressed into just a few hours. After a poor start, he fought back — determined, composed. But Amen Corner has that name for a reason. After making double on 13, you could almost feel the ghosts of Augusta past creeping in — the trauma of a Masters he let slip through his fingers over a decade
