Jo bags sixth consecutive Ironman NZ

Wow, I can't believe it has come and gone. The build up for Ironman New Zealand this year was awesome. After being away for so much of the year it is nice to do all your training from one base and even better when it is your own home. Training went fast, not too say that I went fast but the weeks just flew by, logging the hours, the intensity and recovery all just perfect. With all this fantastic training done, I was looking forward to having a solid strong race. The week before the race went smooth, doing all the necessary obligations with ease, not stressing too much, setting myself up for a nice pre race week. Only until Mike Reilly at the carbo dinner, mentioned that I was going for my sixth consecutive win, something that know one has ever done, ugh, that is when it all hit me big time.
