July Update

The last few weeks have been exciting, which have included the renewal of my Brooks sponsorship for season 2013/14, as well as the beginning of a new partnership with Avanti and Avantiplus Brunswick. My Avanti Chrono Evo TT is one amazing bike that I am super excited to be riding.

I also raced in Race #1 of the Brooks Victorian Duathlon Series yesterday to a). test out my fitness and b). take my new Avanti bike for a spin. The guys at Avantiplus Brunswick have spent hours putting the bike together for me and they had it ready in time for the race which I am very appreciative of, as I know it was no easy task! My setup also felt superb thanks to Paul Parker from Cycle Finesse.

The race went well and I managed to put in a strong effort over the 5km run/20km cycle/3km run to come away with the win. A big thanks to the organisers, Bayside Triathlon Club and Triathlon Victoria for putting on a great local event.

After putting in five months of consistent training, and with my body feeling great I have also had the confidence to put together a solid race schedule for the coming months, which all going to plan the major races will include Yeppoon 70.3 in August, Port Macquarie 70.3 in October, Mandurah 70.3 in November and Challenge Melbourne in February.

It's only six weeks away until Yeppoon 70.3 and I am just about to hit my final block of training for the race. The days are starting to get longer and the sun is slowly starting to get warmer which is definitely making it easier to get out the door :)
