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!!!

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 [...]

Well at least, I keep telling her she is faking it. She is just scared that I might actually beat her in the next race so has decided not to do it. Hmph, given that this might be the time when I am at my absolute fittest and is probably the best chance I have [...]

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 [...]

I woke up and everything was fine! For about 10 minutes, then I seized up again. CRAP, CRAP, CRAP! But as I had woken up fine I decided that it was NOT an injury, I must just be stressed and as soon as I stood on the start it would go away. However, just incase, [...]

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 [...]

It’s Friday!
And being the last Friday of the month also means it’s casual day at work- I love wearing jeans.
Also seeing as it is Friday, we have a sea swim planned for later this afternoon. It will be one of my last before IMSA, although when my sister gets here I know she [...]

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, [...]
