Running off the bike is always challenging. It exposes my weakness very quickly as the extra fatigue makes maintaining good form difficult.

Thanks @hanabanana_tri for the video, it’s really helpful to identify areas for improvement 👍 such as my hip flexors are tight!!

Constantly challenging myself to get better. I recently had a bike fit (couple months ago), which it’s been a few years since I did. However, getting a fit and then actually executing it on race day can be quite different.

I felt fast, and seemed to hold good speed relative to effort. Though when I see pictures there’s still areas I can certainly improve.

It’s the process of tweaking and finding small areas to improve that I find a lot of satisfaction in. I’m certainly not tapped out on my potential yet!

Finished. Completed. Done ✅
Post race feels are great. The support I get on course from everyone means a lot. But having my family makes it more special.

Endurance racing is challenging. I go through a wide range of emotions as I commit so much to it. I’m grateful to be able to share even a slice of my experience with my family.

It’s a long day for my kids, but they get inventive at times with their entertainment 😉

P.s. spoiler alert im not going to Slovakia.

1st in AG at the inaugural Challenge Canberra race.

Was a bit of a shocker race execution wise for me. I overcame a panic attack in the swim. Bike was quite a lot of fun, and run just lacked mental stamina to dig. Still had a good crack, and enjoyed the course + challenge of it.

All in all, a solid new addition to the Australian tri calendar.

I’ll put together a more detailed race report soon 😉

T-6 days to @challengecanberra

Have made some slight tweaks to my position. Hopefully will translate to being faster, as well as running better off the bike.

Will be interesting to compare positions from my last race (WS703 pictured) and the upcoming one - along with run splits. Just looking for progress not perfection 😉

Back running 💥 straight into 20x400 around the track. Slowest 81sec (first rep), fastest 76sec (last rep). Bit windy on home stretch of each lap but it’s character building. Just grateful to run without any concerns from my PF!!

Riding to my local GP for a referral. It’s over a year since I shattered my collarbone, and I’m hoping the next appointment with the specialist (in a couple weeks time) will be the last. It’s been a saga!

PS foot is improving each day. I’m almost able to walk normally again 😉

My running has been improving pretty well post Western Sydney 70.3.

Alas, I missed some on the subtle cues from my body and did a bit too much. A niggle quickly turned into plantar fasciitis over the course of 24hrs..

This happened Sunday. I could barely even stand, let alone walk. I’ve had this before though, so am being pretty diligent about it.

No running, staying off my feet as much as I can, stretching, and strengthening work. It’s a big wake up call about the importance of prehab (which I’ve been slack with, as my focus has been on rehab my shoulder), particularly as I get older!

Do you have an answer to why? When it’s hard, or things aren’t going to plan I almost always find myself questioning, wondering why keep going?

This last year, I’ve had some bad luck / bad prep / bad choices.. however you want to frame it. It’s changed my life, and my body forever. One positive thing though, is it has given me a definite answer to the question why.

Because I can, and I want to see what’s possible.

I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to do triathlon. I hope I never forget this.

Base layer. Very versatile clothing that makes cycling more enjoyable, therefore more fun!

150 days ✅ Ultrasound bone healing system
to help mend my collarbone. Unfortunately, even after surgery not all the fragments of my collarbone mended together. I’d two options: more surgery, or try this ultrasound healing system. I chose the later.

Only a few more days and it’ll be a year since I shattered it. I’ve got what I hope is final X-ray and follow up with specialist in a couple weeks time.

I’m ready to put this all behind me.. even if my hardware (plate/screws) will always be clearly visible for the rest of my life.

If you’re going through hell, keep going - Winston Churchill.

There’s something about not giving in, even when you want to. It’s like you go through a dark tunnel and you can’t see the light at the end of it. But if you keep going, eventually you see the light and you overcome what you didn’t think was possible. All it took was one step after another.

Magpies - increasing average training paces all across Australia 😅

There’s two that have been hounding me for the last couple weeks. One that greets me at the end of my driveway for my morning rides (great for a warm up!), and this fella on one of my preferred run routes.

They won’t hit you if you look at them, and yelling at them seems to somewhat help too 😜 I had a real good yell at it the second time it had a go at me.. this 3rd incident was pretty tame. Always seems to be the case when it’s on camera 🤣

Running is hard. Even more so after a bike ride. But I love running. Out of swim, bike and run, I find running the easiest to get in a flow.

If I can give one tip to improve your run, is breathing. Don’t let it control you, instead you can control it! By keeping a good posture it helps make breathing easier 😉

Bike fit with @3dbikefit today. It’s been years, and I’ve evolved as an athlete as well as different parts on the bike.

Some great advice, and I’m keen to practice the insights gleaned before my next race in Nov.

Busted out my old school @castelli_australia trisuit for today 😜
