Just some ladybirds to brighten your day #humpday
A throwback to happier times. Wishing like no tomorrow that we were lining up to race New Plymouth WC today, but right now the world has bigger problems 😔🦠 Looking forward to the day we can do this again!
Racing; only last weekend but what seems a lifetime ago. Today I’m starting the trek down to Canberra in an attempt to evade the virus and keep on training but almost without a doubt it’s coming... The whole saga is so crazy it almost feels like a perverted game of chasey with the aim to keep going as long as you can; get hit and you’re out 🤒, get caught in a chain of contact and you’re confined for 2 weeks 😷, you can change locations in order to better your chances but must serve out 2 weeks in confinement to do so 🌎. Good hygiene buys you extra time while hanging out in groups feels like winning but is sure to backfire imminently and hoarding essentials is just plain not playing fair. Unfortunately this is no game and as time wears on it’s becoming more and more apparent we’re in for the long haul and need to take this seriously. Keep your heads up peeps and stay healthy ✌🏻
A moment of calm as the world turns to chaos
A solid yet frustrating race for me yesterday. I set myself up well with a great swim-bike and was feeling good but the run legs just didn’t show up. With weekly improvements on the run I’m hopeful for bigger and better things to come later in the year. Sadly though @mooloolabatri marks the end of part one of the season. No one knows what part 2 will look like but we’re all glad of the ITUs decision to take the guessing out for now and shut things down until after April 30. It’s crazy times, and a tough time to be an athlete (among many other professions) but there’s no doubt community health must come first and we’ll come out the other side, probably with excess toilet paper.
Mooloolaba Triathlon through the years. Practically a hometown race these days. Lining up for my 8th this weekend! Excited to let rip! @mooloolabatri @mybikeshopmitchelton @trekbikesau @sailfish_triathlon
