I’m on my second vino, so I’m a warning this could get a touch deep. Let me start with some cliche dribbling. I would far rather ride out the massive highs and massive lows of doing something a little different and prone to failure then be lying on this couch at 50 years of age wondering what [...]

I made a very late call to race Phuket 70.3. Thinking that surely at the end of the season with Thailand being a fair hike for any Western athlete the pro field would be a little low on quality and an easy race to turn a buck. A nice thought in theory but straight after I booked [...]
I’ve been forced to face the facts. I’m a bit of a tri geek. Not a tri-tech geek, or an avid reader of the brutal triathlon forums but I certainly do love the history of the sport. The Nepean Triathlon is one of only a few races where the organisers truly recognise and respect the history of [...]

The down side of getting yourself in the best shape you can for an upcoming race is that the body inevitably becomes very fatigued and your immune system comprimised. I finished up my last few key sessions a week out from potentially the most profitable race I’ve been involved with and only to have to spend [...]
Last year, I was pleasantly surprised with a 2ndplace at Boulder Peak Triathlon utterly shocked to out ride some of my idols including Matty Reed, Tim DeBoom and others. It was my first Olympic Distance as a pro having been a distance I’de stayed away from because I felt I didn’t have the swim to [...]
After a very literal pain in the butt that turned out to be a sacral stress fracture I got the all clear to resume training in March. Instead of going back to aerobic base building basics I decided to test out the ‘old school’ method of training that is racing a tonne to get strong [...]
I have now been lucky enough to race many races in Australia and around the world and I’m going to officially go on record and say that Busso 70.3 (and Busselton Half Ironman last year) is the most professionally run and competitor focused triathlon currently in Australia. It is hugely refreshing from a professional athlete’s [...]
