Training camp and races!

It's been a while since my last update mostly due to plenty of small races, a training camp, raising money for movember and a booming business!

Racing

Last month i raced my first Triathlon in over 3 years and was happy with how i felt. The race was the first in the CPS Credit Union series here in Canberra and otherwise known as the "Spring Fling". The skills are still there i just need some more specific training and equipment adjustments and i'll be ready to mix it up a little more. I tell ya, Canberra can cultivate some outstanding athletes! Look out for Elliot Wise, coached by one of the best Triathlon Coaches around (Ben Gathercole). Once this kid improves his swim he will rip limbs off other athletes!

1. Elliot Wise 50:19

2. Luke Grattan 50:39

3. Lindsay Wall 51:01

4. Ross Blake 52:45

Other races i've done of late have included some of the local crits with the canberra cycling club and the act cross country club. These races have just been training hit outs but with some faster sessions over the next few month i'll be ready to start having a crack..

Jindabyne Training Camp

At the start of December i headed up into the hills for a week end of leg bashing with Joshi Q and Ross H! That's right, there is nothing better then doing your total weeks riding klms over 3 days to kick your ass!

The weather was pretty up and down as was the terrain. We rode a bloody tough climb called "Dead Horse Gap" on day 2 which took 90mins to ride up!! It was an 11klm climb which should give you an indication as to how steep it was....

Camp details:

Day 1 - Ride 90klms (East Jindabyne - Berridale - Dalgety Jindabyne - East Jindabyne)

-30min Run

Day 2 - 135klms (East Jindabyne - Thredbo - Tom Groggin - Return)

Day 3 - 100klm (East Jindabyne - Charlotte Pass Return)

Big thanks to the Elvin family for providing us with fantastic accommodation!!
