mmmmmmmmmmmmmm  yummoooo....

Just been mixin up my yummy Red 8 electrolyte mixture!!  It is great for the hot weather here in boulder.  It really is amazing at just how much I can drink.  Especially after the long workouts.  Eating is not what you are looking for after sweating your butt off, but a really ice cold drink.....electrolyte!!! 

Well I feel a bit naughty that i haven't updated my website for a while....things have been a little bit hectic!!

ALOOOOOTTTT of training has been going on.  I guess that is what is the necessary behaviour of an ironman triathlete, getting ready for the World Champs.  The days here in boulder have been greaaaaaaat......the weather is perfect, maybe a tad too hot....but what is really hot compared to the lava fields of kona!! nothing.....or maybe there is but I sure aint been there.

So Today for me I think is going to have to be on the treadmill.....I am really enjoying my time here in Boulder Colorado, the weather has been greaaaaaaaaaaat but sometimes I feel it is a bit toooo hot outside to do an easy run.  So I am heading indoors for my run!!  I am loving it. 

Well all is going awesome here in Boulder.  I just love this place, it is soooooooooooo great to get outside, get outside and do sports.....I felt,even though we headed out today around 7am for a long run, that it was almost too late.  As the mornings here in boulder are just incredible.  The hot sunshine is not at its peak, and all the critters are only just waking up. 

10 days Before Ironman Germany

Well what an awesome day...................the crowds, the course, the competitors and everything about this race was amazing.  I just love it here.  The race has come and gone!

Well I am here in the Basque country...northern Spain.....and I am loving every second of it.

I arrived here safe and sound from a longgggggggggg trip, NZ to london, where I raced the TriGrandprix half ironman, I may have been asleep, but wow what a race.  It was hard, hilly and honest.  I had a great day, even though I felt like it was in the middle of the night.  I had done some solid training at home before packing up, and it showed on raceday.

Well that was a quick trip..........

Just got back from a great trip across the sea to New Caledonia.  What a great place and it is only a 2.5hour flight from Auckland.  That is awesome.  Cam Brown had suggested a month ago that we go across and have a weekend doing the  Olympic distance triathlon.  Sounded like a good idea so we contacted the race.....and sure enough a month later we are sitting at a restaurant over looking the calm, clear warm waters of Noume.
