Back in blogland
Well I might have been slack with my blogging of late (considering I haven't posted for almost a month... oops!)... But I have been keeping up the training.
Specifically, my running is going really well. I posted a 10:52 at the PCRG 3km time trial a week ago and my long runs are coming along well too.
My swim is getting a lot better since I've started breaking down my stroke and doing some drills and I've been going pretty consistently. I still haven't joined a squad. But not because I'm scared, just because I'm not at the pool at the same time each week at the moment. Ironically, I don't think I'll join til after Mooloolaba now, when I'll be winding back to just one or two swims a week, mainly as recovery and begin a building phase for half IMs at the end of the year.
My cycling has been my slackest leg but I did take the very exciting (and immediately gratifying) step of buying aero bars on Friday (bike porn to follow soon I promise). They're Pro brand windjammers made entirely of carbon and they've got great pads and are adjustable in pretty much every direction. I love them. Just in time for Mooloolaba too!
So in short, things are plodding along nicely and I'm looking forward to capping off the tri season at mooloolaba and then cutting down my swimming and cycling to just recovery sessions as the big build-up for Gold Coast mara takes off.

nice mate - a few friends down here have the wind jammers too. nice carbon weave on them too :)
Owwwwweeennnn, you are looking super duper fit. I reckon that 10:52 in the TT has got some of our fast guys worried. And so they should be!
Mooloolaba is going to be so good. Are you going to go public and blog your goal time?
agree with Tesso, you are on fire mate! This is going to be a big year for you...you should expect good things in every event you do.
good to have you back on blog too
