I am back and everything I have ever read about the Whale Trail is true! It is FANTASTIC. I had an awesome time and would well recommend it.
I will post pictures and more info shortly. All I will say for now is it must have some of the nicest and best equipped hiking huts in [...]

Moaning Monday seems to be catching. First it was Rambler, then Shayne and now I just can’t help myself.
I am absolutely livid!!! I think that MOAN might be a bit of an understatement. It might just turn into a full on rant.
I was in a rather good mood this morning, weird considering it was Monday. [...]

So I thought I had better do a general update post – what is going on!!
Well I suppose the quick answer would be nothing much. Which is probably why I have not been posting? But seeing as have a blog I suppose I had better put something on it! I have been blogging for nearly [...]

On Tuesday night I went and ran with the running club again. It reminds me how much I miss running along the beachfront. This is the view from the club house and was taken just before we went for a run.
It was a stunning evening, if a little cold (as far as PE goes).
We did [...]

I loved being on holiday, and I am loving all the public holidays at the moment.
There is only one problem. It reminds me how much I like being at home. It makes coming in to work very difficult. I have been mumbling and moaning for the last 2 days (yes, that is all I [...]

So I am back at work. At least it is a VERY short week. I might just manage……I had a fantastic time off though and it was a great break. Of course the best part was seeing my sister, but the rest was pretty good too.
Other than Ironman, we ate lots of sushi, went to [...]

Here are some photo’s of the marquee that blew away during the Ironman South Africa run. I am not sure who took the photo’s as I got them on email.
Thankfully nobody was seriously injured, although quite a few people had to get stitches and things. It could have been a lot worse and I think [...]

After handing my bike to a young guy in transition I ran into the tent. I was not changing again, except my shoes, socks, sunglasses and hat, but I wanted covered in sunscreen again. I also needed to go to the loo. The volunteers in the tents are awesome but besides the sunscreen I did [...]

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 [...]
