All things swim, bike and run!
So I jagged a couple of days off following Mooloolaba triathlon and it has proved very beneficial to my ironman preparation. The numbers are not huge but they are solid and I'm really happy with them given I now have 6 weeks to go! The count down is well and truely on. The week accumulated … Continue reading My biggest week so far!
So January is now behind us and I am now inside the last 13 weeks of my next ironman preparation, this stuff just got very real again! While my time on the bike and in the pool has been more than adequate my running injuries are still causing me some concern. I am still working … Continue reading January Reflect, Review, Plan & Move Foward!
Week 16 is complete and I am now inside the last 15 weeks of my next ironman training plan. I am still not running and am just starting to get a little nervous. Although my physio & GP both assure me I will be back running soon enough and will be fine 😉 I wish … Continue reading Week 16 Progress
So the week just past was my last week of my Christmas holiday & I made the most of it. I banked 5km in the pool, 244km on the bike & even a gentle 5km run (jog/walk), I'm still recovering from achilles tendinitis so my running is absent at the moment! Pretty happy with week … Continue reading Quality over Quantity….. Junk k’s

So before I launch into my plan for 2016, lets have a quick review of 2015. So according to my diary I have cycled 6883.9km, run 1087.2km and swam 126.3km, far exceeding my goals set at the start of the year! Strava also has been kind enough to put out a nice summary video as … Continue reading Failing to plan is planning to fail… My Plan for 2016!
We have a huge flock of bids that frequent our back yard daily. My father in-law has made a habit of putting out a little (native) seed for them every morning. We now have a large number of species from lorikeets, wood ducks, cockatoos and many others that visit. Recently watching him wander out early … Continue reading Habits, hard to form easy to break!
Well 2015 has been a very good year for me. I have completed my first full distance ironman triathlon, almost broken the 5 hour mark for a half (70.3) ironman and posting a very respectable time at Noosa Olympic distance triathlon. Having goals? What does that mean? Goals come in many forms, long term, short … Continue reading Goal’s Achieved! Now what?
Well that's my 2015 race calendar complete. The results are in and Noosa 2015 tops a very good year for me.

The results at all three races exceeded my expectations and Noosa was the perfect cherry … Continue reading Noosa 2015 – An Age Grouper’s Race Report
