IMWA - 3rd!
I've just arrived home after finishing 3rd at Ironman Western Australia on Sunday in a personal best time of 9hrs 36mins 50sec.
Overall I had a great day, 3rd out of the water, 2nd on the bike early on then 4th off the bike and ran into 3rd. I had a couple of flat spots in the second part of the bike and on the 3rd of 4 laps on the run but was able to hold it together for a good finish.
Going to have a couple of weeks off and then schedule some races for 2011....

Advocate Sports Star of the Year
The 2010 Awards were held on Thursday evening and big congratulations to winner, Luke O'Garey (surf lifesaving). I was a top ten finalist. The night was throughly enjoyable and listening to Australian Netball Captain, Sharelle McMahon was an inspiring experience.

Well I can't complain so far about winter, although it's cold there have been some beautiful days for riding and running..... let's hope it continues!

5th at Busso
In a "quick" trip over to WA for the weekend I finished 5th at the Busselton Half Ironman. The race was always going to be challenging, having finished 3rd at the Australian Ironman only 5 weeks prior.
I had a slow start in the swim but rode well to come off the bike in equal second place. The run was then one of mixed emotions, starting well but fading in the second half, to be overtaken by some girls who were running strongly. I came across the line in 4 hours 32 minutes in fifth place.
I'm not sure if I was fighting something off at the time but I now have an awful cold so I'm going to have a bit of a break and then plan some more events!
