I am constantly looking for a ways to continue my improvement in my sporting endeavors. I believe that my consistency over the past 5 years has allowed me to have gains without changing or introducing too many new things, other than continuing to turn up & train, being consistent. I mean really, swimming, cycling & … Continue reading Introducing Pilates
I have discovered that I am now too old to simply turn up and race without the proper preparation. Years ago I could skip sessions, not stretch, eat literally anything, turn up and bank a solid race (nothing super special, but solid enough to be competitive). As the years have rolled on my body and … Continue reading The 4th discipline – my race nutrition!

So this weekend I am running a marathon and I can tell you I am more nervous than before any ironman. Why........ I don't see myself as a runner, I am a triathlete! It has been roughly 18 years since I last ran a marathon on its own and the thought of doing it again … Continue reading Sunshine Coast Marathon – What am I doing?!?!
I have achieved some big life time fitness goals recently! It all started again when a mate asked me to join him in riding a bike again (meant to be socially)! It had been 10 years since I last rode and definitely was not on my radar. I was unfit, not unhealthy, but unfit. So … Continue reading Helping myself by helping others!
So July has come to a conclusion and we are now well into the 2nd half of 2016! I didn't really have a specific focus for July!
