IRONMAN WALES 2026 🏊♀️🚴♂️🏃♂️
Every year around this time, our clinic fills up with Ironman Wales athletes experiencing weird taper-week niggles, questionable calf tightness and the occasional fear that their entire body has suddenly forgotten how to move. 😅
But behind the pre-race nerves are months—often years—of commitment, early mornings, long rides, relentless training and plenty of sacrifice.
After looking back through our clinic records, we realised just how much our Ironman community has grown:
2023 — 8 athletes
2024 — 15 athletes
2025 — 19 athletes
2026 — 27 athletes
This year, we’ve had the privilege of assessing, treating, rehabilitating and reassuring 27 athletes ahead of the big day—our highest number yet, coming from far and wide Merthyr Triathlon Club Porthcawl Triathlon Club 🔱 Caerphilly Triers Lawrence Cronk Tarw Tri Club | Triathlon Training Club | Cardiff Cardiff Triathletes 🏴
We’ve worked on tired legs, grumpy tendons and bodies that have done more miles than most family cars. More importantly, we’ve met some incredibly determined people and heard the personal story behind each journey to that famous Tenby finish line.
To everyone racing: trust the work you’ve done, soak up the atmosphere and remember to smile when you reach the red carpet—even if every muscle is telling you otherwise.
Good luck from all of us at Abloc Physiotherapy. We’re genuinely proud to have played a small part in your journey. 💙
