It was a fantastic weekend. Still feeling a little bogged down with flu but it’s nearly left my body. On the road to recovery now. The Blue Baggers knocked over Geelong at the MCG. My daughter was over there on Friday night at the MCG watching the match so I’m sure it was a magic [...]

Just been so unwell this last week. I recall cancelling my Spin coaching class last Friday mainly because I had a bad flu. I persisted with it on the Saturday AM ride. Guy Pritchard took this and we got in around 75kms of pretty hard riding, a lot of it TT style. Interestingly enough, we [...]

This weeks training has been low key at best. On Wednesday, joined what seemed like hundreds of people filing up and down Jacob’s Ladder. There from 5.30pm to around 6.45pm. It’s funny but if you haven’t done this for a while, you underestimate the impact of this exercise. I know I do - I was comfortable [...]

Yesterday was going to be a 21km bushwalk on the Bibbulmun however we decided, so close to Kilimanjaro, that Dee would be better served with some training where snakes couldn’t bite her and she could otherwise stay healthy.
We are still kitting her out for the trip, even now. Its funny but on Jacob’s ladder, Dee’s many [...]

The new year has seen a steady introduction to the sort of regimen I’ll need to sustain and build on to attain a sub 5hr Busselton Half Ironman. My swim on Monday at Riverton Leisureplex was only for 30mins but a swim nonetheless. My cycling into work has been honest. Caught up with Andy on my cycle [...]

Ok, it was around 4 days ago that I went with Dee to Jacob’s ladder. As I’ve recounted to you, she went up and down with her backpack no less than 20 times in just under 2hrs. I think I did around 25 ascents but I had no backpack on. I am just waddling around [...]

Well, surely the two most exciting events have occurred in the last few days. The first is that we have a Dome Coffee shop in Canning Vale now that has just open 100m away from home. That’s just manna from heaven. The second is my Gravity Zero wheelset. Thanks to Mike Aviet for the opportunity [...]

As we draw closer to Ironman WA it’s incredible to think there are 1200 individual competitors at Busselton Western Australia on 7 December for this epic event. There are also 72 teams of which our team, Three’s Company, is but one.
Tonight, I worked hard on my running with Front Runner. There are so many good [...]

It’s now only 4 weeks to Busselton Ironman WA. Friday night was Casa Del Amici, a little Italian restaurant just up the road from us, with some friends. Sat AM I met up with around a dozen ‘Cool Runners’ at the south end of Mt Henry Bridge for a 5km time trial anticlockwise to the [...]

Last night was a tough grind on the bike into a south westerly. A guy from work, Mark, shared the work with me and took the edge of what would have been a very tough ride. Today, I met up with some ‘Cool Runners’ at Deepwater Point and did a 5km run in 22mins. This [...]
