I have now been in Girona, Spain for a little more than 2 months and there is no doubt that I am still loving it here. I find that it offers the perfect location to train. We have a nice 50m outdoor swimming pool and also the lake of Banyoles that is only a 15 minute drive away for open water swims. For riding, there are endless unused roads to choose from and the further...
After competing in my last race, Gold Coast WTS, I was very eager to return to Melbourne to get down into training. There were about 5 weeks between Gold Coast and Yokohama which was perfect as it allowed me to get in a block of hard work. I quickly returned to my usual training routine at home as the Melbourne weather slowly turned into its wintry trend. The cold brisk air that lurks around during...
After competing in my first WTS in Abu Dhabi, I had been looking forward to making a return to the scene of racing at this level. Gold Coast was my next opportunity to do so and I felt every bit prepared for it. Abu Dhabi was the perfect introduction into this high calibre of racing; it allowed me to get a taste of what it was like to compete against the athletes that dominate the...
Out of all ITU races that I have done, Devonport has been my most recurrent race location. Competing in Devonport this year made it my 5th time racing there (2 as a Junior and 3 as an Eilte), which was quite a nice realisation once I had added the years together.For those unaware, Devonport is located on the Northern part of Tasmania, an isolated island which lies off the south coast mainland Australia. This meant...
Congratulations on making the start list for WTS Abu Dhabi to represent Australia. And this is how it all started! After finding out that I had been selected to race Abu Dhabi WTS I knew that a month of hard work was waiting for me, but it was easy to find the motivation as I wanted to prove myself in the first WTS race of my triathlon career.As I expected, my training continued to be...
Another few weeks have passed which means another main training block has been completed. There have been some big sessions throughout these weeks both on the bike and on the run. Some days had me struggling significantly, but I only came out better from those ones. I would have to say that it has been my biggest training load in a very long time, potentially ever. All this training has me working towards my first...
Escaping from sharks and starting 2017 from the topNow that 2016 is finally finished, it is time to concentrate on the New Year and begin to prepare the body for a big season ahead. The past couple of months have mainly consisted of getting back into the swing of things. The start of December saw myself, Coach Danielle Stefano and training companion Joel Tobin-White in Lorne. The scenery down there is stunning, there is the...
