Congratulations to i-Performance athlete, Sally Bigham, on winning the infamous Cape Epic mountain bike event held in South Africa. Considered the cross country version of the Tour de France, the Cape Epic includes 8 stages covering over 800km and climbing in excess of 15000m. Sally and her teammate, Esther Süss, dominated the race winning 7 of the 8 stages and accumulating a leading margin of 50 minutes. This was the first significant season goal for Sally who will now focus her attention on preparations for Trans Germany and the European Champs later 

Congratulations to Sally Bigham (Topeak-Ergon) and her team mate Milena Landtwing on winning the Andalucía Bike Race 5 day MTB stage race in Spain. Think it will be the satrt 

Congrats again to Jon for an unbelievable performance in the Tour de Haut Var, winning the final stage and taking heis second stage race of the season. Check out the fin

Not content with his win on stage one of the Tour of the Mediterranean Johnathan Locke went on to win the final stage today and took the overall race win. This is a fantastic start to his season with Endura Racing and is great evidence of Jon building on his success in the Tour of Britian last year. Those hard intervals on the tough roads around South Devon and Dartmoor are clearly paying off!

So far so good for the athletes supported by i-Performance. Sally Bigham achievd 2nd in the Lanzarote mountain bike stage race earlier this month, winning the mountain time trial on stage 3. Mark Threlfall came 4th in 70.3 South Africa in his first major half-ironman and yesterday Johnathan Locke won the opening stage of the Tour of the Med. Hope this success continues.

Congratulations to Mark Threlfall for his 4th place in today's season opening 70.3 Ironman event in Buffalo City, South Africa. We hope it's a good sign for the season to come.

In light of our consultants external commitments we have decided to focus our services on professional athletes for the coming year. This comes as a result of i-Performance’s achievements in 2011 whilst providing scientific and medical support to professional athletes who achieved many successful performances through the year. We will continue to provide these services in 2012 as our professional athlete group has expanded significantly. We hope that those interested in the services of i-Performance will continue to follow us and gain a unique insight into our work through the website.

If you've not been following the daily analysis of Rapha Condor Sharp rider, Andy Tennant's power files then you might have missed his team's success in this year's Tour of Britain. Although the eventual winner was dutchman, Lars Boom, Jonathan Tiernan-Locke came fifth overall and won the King of the Mountains competition. Kristian House and Dan Craven were active in a number of race defining breaks and Zak Dempster achieved top ten performances on a number of stages. Unfortunately, Graham Briggs was forced to withdraw on stage 5, but showed great determination having only be selected for the team after a late withdrawal from Ed Clancy. We hope the riders and staff at Rapha enjoy a well earned break after a very successful season.

If dominance in the male events wasn't enough, Helen made it a clean sweep of the elite world champion titles by finishing 2nd to Andrea Hewitt on the tough Beijing 2008 Olympic course. Team GB will enter the Olympic year with 4 athletes ranked in the top ten!

Another successful World Cup Series for both Alistair and Jonathan Brownlee. With a win for Alistair and 3rd for Johnny in Beijing the brothers end up at the top of the pile for the 2011 series. A great season in preparation for London 2012.

Also, fantastic result for the U23 men with Matt Sharp taking gold ahead of David McNamme and Tom Bishop showing the depth of ability in GB men's triathlon.
