I decided to do a post about exercising and pregnancy. Now as a disclaimer before I write I want to reiterate that I am NOT medically qualified. Do NOT take what I write as the only way to do things and most importantly before starting (or continuing) an exercise program when pregnant CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR!!!

I can’t believe that the Tour de France is finishing this weekend. I have really been into it this year. What am I going to do in the evenings now….
I have watched it in past years and enjoyed but nothing like this year. Thankfully the timing has been perfect with regards to work and stuff. I finish [...]

I started this blog post so many times today and each time I have deleted what I wrote. I don’t want it to sound about me. I also don’t want it to sound like I am just writing something because, well, just to write something.
A top local cyclist died on the road yesterday – Kim [...]

There are [...]

I got my bike out of transition and headed for the road. My goal for the bike was to average about 26 km/hour. The course is 3 loops each of 60 km. The first section is a “gentle” climb to the highest point on the course. There is then a very nice down hill, and [...]

The problem with being away from the internet for so long, especially when so much is going on that I want to write down everything but can’t. Also it would make for rather boring and confusing reading.
So, the summary is:
My sister arrived safe and sound.
I completed Ironman
I went hiking
Yes, this has been a busy [...]

I finally found the photo’s from the Sunshine Coast Triathlon. I knew they had been taken by Rob Pollock Photography but up until now they had nothing on their site. I also knew that they were up in a shopping centre in East London, a little bit too far just to look at photos. But, [...]

No wonder I thought I was going to die on some of those ups! This is a profile of the cycle route from the triathlon on Sunday. Look how it starts. I suppose at least they don’t go on for too long.

We went to East London for the weekend to help celebrate a friend’s 40th but when we phoned another friend to ask if we could stay with him, he said it was fine, but he had entered a triathlon on the Sunday morning so it could not be a late night. Woo Hoo! I did not [...]
