Winter Training Camp by Starfish Tri Athletic & Tristyle Coaching

Well I recently held my first ever training camp.  I know I am being biased but I thought it was an amazing experience.  I got to (with the help of Starfish Tri Athletic Head coach Ben Luscombe) guide 10 athletes through an epic weekend of swim, bike & run!  Together we had put in a … Continue reading Winter Training Camp by Starfish Tri Athletic & Tristyle Coaching

Gold Coast Half Marathon 2018 – #GCM18

So last time I ran at the Gold coast Marathon was 1999, some 19 years ago!  I previously ran the full marathon, which was my very first ever dabble into endurance running.  It left a pretty big (mental) scar and took me a lot of years to find my way back to endurance sport.  But … Continue reading Gold Coast Half Marathon 2018 – #GCM18

#sharkbikerun – Ironman Western Australia – My Race Report

Well this has been a challenge to write.  It's no secret that: The race wasn't a full 'Ironman', with the swim course closed due to marine creatures, namely a few local sharks paying a visit to the jetty on race morning. My race didn't go anywhere near to my plan, mainly because I made lots … Continue reading #sharkbikerun – Ironman Western Australia – My Race Report

Monthly Reflect & Review – September

So September was about reframing, focusing on what I get to do and appreciating that simple fact 'I get to do this'!  Like my previous couple of months it was a tough month, but using the above reframing I actually banked some solid consistent training and racing.  If you follow my blog you would already … Continue reading Monthly Reflect & Review – September

Monthly Review & Reflect – July 2017

I'm not going to sugar coat it July was a tough month.  We've all had them, months that nothing seems to be right, the wheels kind of just fell off.  My training was off, lacking clear direction (even though I have a very thorough race plan for the rest of 2017 & into 2018), life … Continue reading Monthly Review & Reflect – July 2017
