Sometimes things just don’t go to plan…
The Runner’s race today is a great example of a day when things just don’t go well. There was nothing he did wrong and nothing he could have done better- but the triathlon gods just didn’t smile on him today. Going into the race, he felt fitter than ever, confident and strong. He had been…

Let the adventure begin!
On my way to the airport and we’ve already passed the first hurdle…. The bike fits in the Uber car…. Just!! Fingers crossed the luggage gods smile upon me and I’m under my 30kg allowance…otherwise it’s $100 per kg and I’ll have to wear layers onto the plane!

The Final Countdown…

A Typical Saturday- He Biked, I Learned to Cook Mexican!
Happy February! Today was a fantastic way to start the month. The Runner did a VO2 Max/Lactate Threshold test and is busy analysing his results. He is exceptionally pleased with them and now is just trying to work out how to use them to improve his training. Husky Long Course is a mere three weeks…

Another Sunday, Another Race
Greetings from the Nation’s Capitol! No, sadly I’m not home for Christmas in Washington, DC. We’re in Canberra and it’s 5:35am and we’re here for the 14th annual Canberra 70.3 half Ironman race. If you’ve never been to Canberra, it’s worth a trip for a weekend if you don’t have anything else to do. I’m…
