1st run of the season ticked off

My 1st run of the season was ticked off today, the Harbour Capital Half Marathon, i came home in 1hr 48mins, i was very happy with that time as I set out to run a 1hr 45 - 1hr 50min run so a 1hr 48min run was right in the middle of that target.

Next runis the 5 Bridges Marathon, 14 August...

Swim update: big technique breakthrough

I had a big technique break through on Friday during a coaching session with my coach Michi, Michi told me to speed up my leg revolutions and stroke less, in essence i had to slow down to speed up, this has had a huge impact on my stroke rate, i now can complete laps with an average of 17 strokes where before it took me 28, this means i will get out of the water fresher and ready to get on the bike... thank you for that michi...

Cycling update

Today I received notification from Paralympics NZ that the Performance Manager at PNZ Brendon Cameron is happy for me to do Ironman and it won't effect my chances of being named in the cycling squad going to World Championships next year.

I'm very pleased about this as it gives me the freedom to complete ironman then come back to the elite national cycling squad in March, get carded and make the team for World Championships in Cali, Columbia next year
