My First Go At Triathlon (Video)...

Heres a quick video I put together of the Orbea Half Ironman Short Course triathlon I competed in on the weekend in Maraetai. Was good to get an idea of what I am gonna need to work on before xterra in 3 weeks time (there's a lot of improvements to be made!).




I hope to continue these short videos through the off-season, instead of writing up an essay after each event. Keep things interesting.

2012 National Season Wrap-Up

There is one word that accurately describes my national season this year, and that word is 'consistent'. This years racing started in Dunedin early January moving its way up the country through Christchurch, Nelson, Wellington, Napier, finishing with Oceania Champs in Rotorua early March. For the first time since 2009 my legs had some spark, this is reflected in my race results achieving four 8th place results a 7th and a 12th. And going from 15minutes down on the race winner in Dunedin to slowly chipping that time down each race until I got down to 7:40 in Rotorua. With room to improve I am going into this off-season supremely motivated, ready to do some hard yards dabbling in some new disciplines to keep the 'training' fresh and exciting (and no doubt challenging), so that I can enter the 2013 National Season faster and stronger than before, ready to do shake things up!

I will endeavour to keep this blog updated and (most importantly) interesting, throughout the journey that is the 2012 Off-season.
