Fear is not real. The only place that fear can exi

Fear is not real. The only place that fear can exist is in our thoughts of the future. It is a product of our imagination, causing us to fear things that do not at present and may not ever exist. That is near insanity. Do not misunderstand me danger is very real but fear is a choice. — @willsmith

Don’t let the fear of what if stop you from giving your best and having a go. Better to try and fail (is it really failure if you learn something though?) than to not have a go because you’re afraid to fail.

Enduring in sport changes you for the better.

I feel if every human got out and challenged themselves to go a little further, under their own steam, the world would be a better place.

Just imagine it for a moment.. instead of desiring more and more, just focus on getting out and exploring. Feel the reward of experience. We have such an amazing planet, it always leaves me in awe.

Head down and focused towards building fitness. It’s a slow process and I don’t really notice any changes.

Than all of sudden you realise how far you’ve come, when you take a step back and reflect on where you started. Progress not perfection 🙌

Snake and sticks. It doesn’t really matter my reactions are the same. Who’s with me? Ive lost can’t the number of times I’ve tripped avoiding what turned out to be a stick 🤦‍♂️ Although today I saw 4 red belly black snakes on the track today 🐍 All very much alive 😬 I can’t say I’m a fan, it always makes my heart rate spike. Can the weather cool, so snakes can go hibernate please?

Satisfying training.

It’s not always about pushing your limits, but rather just get out and enjoy this amazing world we live in.

When did you last train with absolutely no agenda? Just go explore or see where you your legs can take you in 20mins 😉

@indiethesuperbeagle is 12 now, so she doesn’t like to go more than 40mins these days! 😜

Pain makes things special.
What do I mean?
It’s not something you can do everyday (as it takes a lot of mental energy) but when pain comes and you embrace it you are doing something special. Going outside your comfort zone, and seeing what’s possible.

When you push past your limits, it is hard and it hurts! It’s also incredibly rewarding, as you realise how much potential you have!

My first adventure race, and what an adventure! We raced for the lead, made wrong turns, had a laugh, carried a kayak over sandbanks and I dropped my phone in the river 🤦‍♂️

Thanks to my teammate @martinhnztooz 👍

Practice makes perfect.. although Vince Lombardi said: only perfect practice makes perfect 😉

An aero position is a constant work in progress. Developing specific strength and mobility to be comfortable. Being able to see where you’re going. I still need to work at being and staying aero.

I highly recommend asking a friend or family member to take a picture or video of you when training. The feedback is valuable! What you think you do, and what you are actually do, can be quite different!

Another step in the comeback process. I did swim paddles today!

Paddles works on swim specific strength and gives heighten awareness of the catch. I could feel my shoulder and collarbone working from the increased pressure, but no pain. Shoulders/lats pretty tired post swim though 💪

If you’ve been following my stories you’d have seen I did an adventure race over the weekend. Kayaking was one of the race legs, which was challenging with my lack of shoulder strength. It had me a little nervous about todays swim, but it was all good 👍

I’ll hopefully get out a video of the adventure race this week 😉

Thankful 🙏 as I soaked up the finish line feels.

Endurance sports push me to my limits and makes everything raw.

My emotions as I ran towards the finish was firstly exhilaration (as I was going win)! It quickly turned to an overwhelming sense of gratitude, as my previous race ended in hospital.

When you lose the ability to do something, it makes it even more rewarding to get it back. Being able to swim, bike and run makes me feel thankful.

In summary:
Swim - chasing feet while trying to keep form
Bike - Surge fest. How many 400w bombs can I do and still keep riding?
Run - Stick to the game plan and dig in.

Don’t give up on being your best self. Improving is challenging, but it makes it all the more rewarding when you do.

The bike leg at husky was a challenge, with multiple key moments. I didn’t always make the best choices, but persisted.

Keep an eye out for my race report soon 😉

I can’t believe it! I didn’t dare dream about winning, but somehow I did!

4:10 for a 70.3 distance triathlon, is also a PB, and finally <80min for the half marathon run.

It’s been a roller coaster ride since worlds.. the crash left me feeling really depressed. I enjoy swim/bike/run and being incapable of training was hard. I had a huge question about whether I’d be able to do #huskytri today.

Being the Australian long course championship race, I wanted to make it my comeback race. So in Jan I got back on the bandwagon under the guidance of @ashcroft.bell.triathlon coaching.

We had 6-7 weeks to buildup my swim/run after a couple month hiatus to allow my body to heal (I started cycling indoors in Dec when my doctor said I could). It was hard, I wanted to do more, but I didn’t have the physical conditioning. My mobility was poor, my pace was slow and hr super high. I decided to take it a day at a time, it was what it was.

Each week I made steady progress and mid Feb I started to believe I could be competitive, maybe even a top 5 finish 🤔 but with hammy and calf niggles and then a cold in the final week I was really unsure.

I’d done as much as I could given my circumstances, so today was about celebrating that and seeing what my body was capable of. Mission accomplished ✅ and it blew me away 🤯

Thanks to the brands that support me. It makes racing better 🙏 @we_are_sungod @springenergyau @premax.co @castelli_australia

Finally thank you to all the supporters on course, and my family, in particular my beautiful wife ❤️

Race day tomorrow. #flatlay before packing everything. I think I’ve got everything 🤔 been a while since I did a tri!

Tomorrow will be my first tri since the crash in Oct.. so if I’ve forgotten something you’ve a few hours to let me know 😆

New kit day 🤩

As a huge fan of Castelli I’m grateful to be an ambassador for @castelli_australia

My first ever trisuit was a sleeveless Castelli number. Although I’ve tried many suits since, none have been as comfortable as Castelli.

Looking forward to going fast 💨 at the Australian Long course champs at Husky (what a mouthful!) this Sunday.

“One of the most common causes of failure is the habit of quitting when one is overtaken by temporary defeat.”—Napoleon Hill

Race week is here. I’m nervous and excited about the prospect of racing again. Fitness isn’t fully back, but I’m looking forward to seeing what I can do!

The goal is to get from a to b as fast as possible, and even if I’m being overtaken, just commit to the process of giving my best.

Who else is racing Husky?
