A quick blog's a good blog!

Quick update on all things triathlon and training! After returning home from the US 6 weeks ago I had a few weeks break to recharge the batteries. When I have a break, I have a break! I'm really good at doing absolutely nothing...I do pride myself on that. So when it was eventually time to hit the training track again my body certainly felt refreshed and ready to go.

I have put in a good 4 weeks of consistent training and have started to get back into the swing of things. My first race of the Aussie season will be Shepparton 70.3 in a little over a weeks time. The 2010 Shepparton Half Ironman was my first Half Ironman distance triathlon. With 10+ half's now under my belt since my initiation to going long, I am looking at improving on last year's race and having a red hot crack!

When I finished my last race of the US season, the thought of doing another half wasn't so appealing, however with a bit of time off to refresh and re-energize I am really looking forward to getting out there, and I can't wait to be racing again!

In other news, I received my new 2012 Malvern Star Oppy C7 road bike last week and will be taking it for a spin on the weekend which I can't wait for (the rain has been delaying this ride...I don't want to get him dirty on his first outing!). It is one of the lightest bikes I have ever felt, so I can tell we are going to have many a happy day.



No other amazing news to report on...the battle with Melbourne's glorious rainfall patterns continues as do the ever present northerly winds.

I shall try my hardest to be more punctual with next weeks blog...the public holiday just through me out of wack this week!
