    Less than 3 weeks to go!!!!

    Wow time is flying! And it feels like the last month has absolutely flown by!

    Had an epic time away at my coaches place in pauanui last weekend at our Kona camp! 3 days of extremely hard work!! A big swim 50k worth of running and 270km of cycling!

    Followed by a big training weekend just gone!

    It’s had definitely been a month of emotions and nerves as in 3 weeks time I would have just completed world champs! What an awesome experience to be able to embark on and I am so great full for all of you who are helping me to get there!

    There has been a number of unexpected costs that have risen so any donations will come greatly appreciated.

    Thank you all for you’re continued support x

    All I can say is!!!! It’s starting to get real now!!! Less that 5 weeks to go now until I get to race in a race that I thought I’d only ever dream of racing!! It’s definitely been one heck of a ride these last few weeks. Not much else going on except train work eat train kids sleep repeat!

    Training has increased significantly over the last 2-3 weeks with extra load ect but it’s definitely been so good for the soul to get outside on the bike with some nice sunny weather we’ve had recently. I have a training camp coming up in a week which will be exciting but also pretty brutal but will be great to train with others who are going to achieve the same goal. As much as I can sit here and say it will be brutal, it will test me, my mind and body will probably battle against me all weekend I know I’ll be smiling through it as it’s all beneficial and great to have others to support one another through training. So yes pretty short not super interesting update but thought I fill you all in incase people thought I’d dropped off the face of the wart or something

    Once again thank you for supporting me

    Hey guys!!

    So training has been very consistent the past few weeks!

    On the 5th of august I raced in the Taupo Marathon! The weather was epic but my lungs weren’t! And unfortunately had to pull pin at 30km! Still managed to come away with a PB for my half marathon pace which was a win for me!!

    Followed by an epic training camp last weekend with my coach Simon Cochrane from Athletic Peak! Was really good to get some feedback from him and a good weekend of productive training!!

    The weekend definitely left me feeling more motivated for Kona with only 9 weeks to go!

    No more events for me now as I’ll be really tuning into my training and focusing on my last build to race day!

    It’s all coming around so quickly and just really trying to push through all the highs and lows!!

    Once again Thank you for all the support every bit helps and I appreciate all of you!!

    Wow we are nearly in August!!! Which means only 10 weeks till race day!!!

    Two days in Tok was a Great event and close to the heart being a local event! Was so good to see so many other out there giving it a go despite the weather.

    Next event is in 10 days which is the Taupo marathon, this will be my last event before Kona as I’m heading into a big build now!

    I want to thank each and everyone of you who has supported me throughout this journey. It has definitely been a tough one especially winter training with all these colds and flus also with the kids dealing with them too.

    Thanks!!!!

    P.s here’s a pic of how muddy it was at two days in Tok!
