Post and Pre - Challenge Wanaka to Ironman New Zealand
Prost race recovery!?
So here I am, a week and a bit after Challenge Wanaka 2015 and a few days out from Ironman New Zealand 2015.
Wellington .kiwi tri series and Auckland ITU age group race
The time came after defending my Wanaka title to knuckle down a bit and line up another race.
Challenge Wanaka 2014
Hi all and sorry for the delay in getting this posted! I have been absolutely useless since race day and really need to give myself a good kick up the ass.
Writing this took me back to that day and I think I may have a little more motivation again... maybe.
This is where I am at 12 days out from Challenge Wanaka 2014
So, I am sitting here in Wanaka with 12 days to go until I try and defend my most prized possession, my Challenge Wanaka title.
Challenge Roth 2013
Roth is everything it is hyped up to be.
From the moment you arrive and are introduced to your homestay to the moment the massive fireworks go off to signal the end of another Challenge Roth year (and the volunteers party and after party!).
Challenge Wanaka 2013 - Iron-Distance Debut
Like so many athletes this year and at years gone by I was woken to howling winds early on race morning. The good thing was it actually got me excited for the tough day that was to come and to race in the conditions I had trained for.
2012 full US season wrap-up
So it is definitely time for an update after continually putting them off in the hope I could find some form and get some results.
Busso 70.3, 2012
So I flew off to Western Australia for Busso 70.3 after 5 weeks of the best and biggest training of my life and my final hitout before I head to the USA in a couple of weeks.
Singapore 70.3, 2012
It’s been a long two weeks here in Singapore building up for the 70.3 – Its hard on the mind getting out there everyday and feeling lethargic and generally bad all round in this heat and humidity, but in saying that, when i tested the body over these weeks it always responded well and therefore knew I was in good shape.
Miami 70.3, 2011 - Half Ironman Debut
I arrived in Miami Monday before the race, straight from Galveston. Miami isn't the ideal place to train, but this wasn't a bad thing as it forced a very light taper. A massive thanks to Pat Mac for hosting me and to Bevan for sorting it out. It was great having a guide to get things done and one of the big benefits of a home stay. Come Thursday though I was in to the hotel and in race mode. My mate from Germany, Horst Reichel, arrived Friday and gave me a few pointers on what to expect and how to get the most out of racing longer distance, mainly nutrition!
