    It’s just over four months to go until Ironman New Zealand!!!! Unfortunately a few weeks ago I tested positive for covid and this has slowed things down a bit and interrupted a few events I have going on now. I am well on my way to recovery and focusing on being back to full training shortly. Thankfully there is still time and getting the baseline mahi done now is the focus. All three disciplines are now part of my weekly routine! Covid and endo fatigue have provided a killer combo and I am working through that too. But onwards and upwards!!!!

  • Almost six weeks post op

      12 May 2022

    I've almost reached six weeks post op now! I've been taking things slowly with getting back into training under the guidance of a physiotherapist. It's been a great opportunity to feel no rush and rehabilitate properly. Having an 'off season' after a race season of no races feels weird but also it's important to respect that I trained very hard over summer and my body needs a break.

    Going forward it'll be a gradual return to training and prepping for what I think will be an amazing 2022/2023 event season! My endometriosis is along for the ride, and it'll no doubt keep throwing some hurdles, but I'm excited to get back into it!

    Surgery all done and dusted this week! Feeling all the emotions and sore but recovery in full swing again. I’m so happy to have this one over with and can now look back towards focusing on Ironman New Zealand. It is also giving me a chance to rest some other niggles and correct those as well.

  • Postponement of IMNZ

      17 February 2022

    So, unfortunately, Ironman New Zealand 2022 has also fallen to the Covid-19 restrictions! Ironman made the responsible decision to not hold their event on the 5th March 2022. They have set a postponement date in December 2022. However, as I am due to have more surgery in April, I want to give myself as much time as possible to recover and train effectively. With that I have made the decision to defer to March 4th 2023. I will keep fundraising and hope that surgery number 4 brings more relief in pain and better training!
