Effort is just like toothpaste, you can always squ Effort is just like toothpaste, you can always squeeze out just a little more. — unknown 

I’m always trying to get that last little bit of toothpaste out, even like a week after my wife has moved onto a new tube.

I guess it’s just my personality type, I always try to do a little bit more.. sometimes it’s great, sometimes it’s too much. Thankfully, the body is feeling pretty good after having a little dig in yesterday’s race down the coast.

Tuck and push. 🚴 Trying to make up some time a Tuck and push. 🚴

Trying to make up some time after an average swim in today’s tri. Nice little club race to take part in and a beautiful spot to race. Grateful I be able to race.

There’s so many amazing places to visit and things to do even in our own backyard.

I’m grateful that we have the freedom to get out. Don’t take it for granted.

Also, feeling pretty blessed that we have public pools that are open and accessible.

Training is ramping up nicely, and I’m thinking Training is ramping up nicely, and I’m thinking about racing a tri this weekend (as part of training).

If you have access to races it provides excellent opportunities to practice and get experience to better prepare for your goal race. Plus it is a lot of fun just getting involved in the local club racing scene.

Ever been riding in a group and see people rocking Ever been riding in a group and see people rocking/swaying back and forth as they try to generate power for each pedal stroke? Maybe you’ve never even thought about it?

I joined some cyclists this morning (a lot of them far better riders than I!) and every time we came to a hill, a good percentage of the bunch would start swaying, like there on a boat out at sea. This shows a lack of engagement with the core, and the further you get into a ride the more pronounced the sway becomes. I know I start to sway as I fatigue.

But by engaging your core, you can generate power much more efficiently. Think about firing a canon on a canoe. Won’t work too well will it? You need to provide a solid platform to push from. Some food for thought next time you’re out riding 🚴

Joy 😃 That moment, when you you spot your fami Joy 😃

That moment, when you you spot your family and you didn’t expect to see them, until after the race.

It’s hard to explain all the emotions. JOY is a pretty good one though.

If your goal is to get from start to finish as fas If your goal is to get from start to finish as fast as possible; than you should consider getting up to speed on the bike before putting your feet in your shoes.

Wheels allow you to coast, and rolling along at +30km/h putting your feet in your shoes is far quicker than doing it at 10km/h. But make sure you’re comfortable with this skill. Practice being confident with your balance on the bike, it pays on come race day.

Be Bold, Be Brave, Believe Last night going to be Be Bold, Be Brave, Believe

Last night going to bed I had these words on replay. I’m not sure what it means, or whether it means anything.. but it makes for a solid race motto.

Do your best. It’s all you can ever ask of yours Do your best. It’s all you can ever ask of yourself. It’s what I teach my kids. It doesn’t matter what the result is or even if you finish, as long as it’s your best.
