(post 24)In Preparation For The Season Ahead

Australia Jan 29th

It has been raining here for the past week but it hasn’t stopped me from training, its been quite a relief to have the rain on my back instead of the sweltering heat.

My training partner has arrived Billy Parker Brown and he gives me a run for my money on the bike and when swimming. Michelle (coach) is teaching him to run faster.

I’m trying something new this year and that’s getting a massage every day and it has really helped my recovery and giving Michelle very sore arms. I’m very lucky to have a girlfriend that coaches, massages and loves me.

I was out running in the forest a couple of days ago on my long run and I had to jump over a snake which was a first in my history of being down under but was something I will never forget.

Nothing much more as happened here, its all about putting the head down this time of the year in preparation for the long season ahead.
