Beijing Olympic Race - Bevan
Well, what can I say? It’s been a very long campaign, with so many highs and lows. It was one big emotional rollercoaster, with so many sacrifices and tough days. Sometimes you wondered whether it was all worth it, but as soon as I crossed that finish line, I remembered that I was in this...
Austria World Cup - Bevan
A month out from the biggest race of my life, I was desperate to find a race to have one last hit out. Unfortunately, there was a lack of quality races in North America so I was forced to head over to Europe to race in the Austrian ITU world cup. I wasn’t too concerned about the travel as I...
Des Moines World Cup - Bevan
Ok I know, before I start, I seem to be making a habit finishing 2nd and the world cup race in Des Moines Iowa was no exception. Maybe I'm going to have to change a few things, maybe start wearing a golden race suit as opposed to the silver one I currently have. Anyway to the race. Over the last 2...
Race Report Korea - Bevan
After the disappointment of my withdrawal from the New Plymouth world cup I was very keen to get a good race behind me and boost my confidence. My withdrawal from NP wasn't too much of a set back, unfortunately it was almost expected considering the amount training I had done! However I had had a...
March Update - Bevan
Now that I'm on an easy week, and have a little more time, I thought I would give you an update on how everything is going. At the moment my life consists of training, eating, training, eating, training, sleeping.... Not very exciting I know, however, it is quite interesting to see the different...

The pressure of this qualification has been weighing me down for quite some time, It's not that I didn't think I could make the team, it's...
Minneapolis - Bevan
With less than 3 weeks until world champs and 5 weeks until my big race in Beijing I thought I’d update you all on my progress. After the success of the Des Moine and Edmonton races I decided to take a bit of a step back. I was in some great form, however there was no way I could hold that...
Edmonton Win - Bevan
After the success of last week’s race I was confident of another good race - I was ranked number 1 and keen to shake the silver trend.Edmonton has brought me mixed results over the years; 7th at World Champs in 2004, cancelled race due to hail in 2005 and last year a flat tire! This year the...
Des Moines 2nd - Bevan
Well what can I say - this was certainly one race to have a good day! With a US$700,000 total prize purse and 200K + a Hummer for the winners of the male and female races the fields were stacked with the world’s best triathletes. I was quietly optimistic - my training had been going well in...
Update from Boulder - Bevan
It’s been a very busy last few months so I thought I’d update you all on what’s been going on. My last race was the World Cup in Ishagaki, I’ve had some pretty good success there in the past and with the current form I was in I was expecting a good race. Ishagaki isn’t the easiest place in the...
