Happy NY to everyone!
I hope you all enjoyed it and managed to eat lots, drinkt lots, and lose weight...
Figured I should do a wee update before I head to Auckland 70.3 next weekend (18th January) for the first and last time (the race is moving to Taupo in December).
It doesn't seem that long ago that I was on a plane heading to Ironman Malaysia and it seems like only the other week that I was on another plane heading to Challenge Bahrain. Time sure does fly!
Training has been going well, I am now almost 2 weeks in to my big work for Challenge Wanaka, with a easier week in and out of Auckland 70.3. I am pretty stoked that this year I get to race 2 of NZ's big races. With Wanaka moving to February 22, it has opened up this opportunity, but of course, Wanaka is my main focus.
Auckland will be a great tester and I am looking forward to racing hard and hopefull securing a few more points towards my Kona bid.
Below is my tentative race schedule for the year. With the introduction of the Challenge Triple Crown in the Middle East it makes things a little busier and tougher to decide. But, it is great for the professional side of our sport and you won't hear any complaints from me.
January - Auckland 70.3
February - Challenge Wanaka
April - Challenge Taiwan Half
June - Ironman Cairns
August - Challenge Oman Hlaf / undecided 70.3 if I need Kona points
October - Ironman Hawaii / undecided Ironman if I don't qualify
December - Challenge Bahrain / Taupo 70.3
*Plus a couple others here and there for good measure!
Hope everyones training is going well for their races coming up. It has been a great summer so far, so long may it continue!
Cheers
Dyl
