40

Back In The USA

So I’m back in the US doing some non drafting races in my lead up to the World 70.3. My next races is the Malibu triathlon which attracts some of Hollywood’s greats for the age group race and is also quite a special race for me because its in such a lovely place.

I was selected for the World Champs on the Gold Coast but decided to give it a miss. The Bike course at Worlds is flat and fast with very little chance of a break on the bike and it all coming down to the run.

I would struggle to make the top 10. I am doing three non drafting races in the lead up to the World Half Iron Man world champs in Clearwater Florida. I am really excited about the World Half Iron Man champs and I have-not had this excitement for a World Champs event in years and this is really going to motivate me to train very hard.

One month before Clearwater I will be training at the USA High performance centre in Clermont Florida. This will help me get used to the hot and humid conditions. I have trained at this place before it was prior to the 2002 world Olympic Under 23s in Cancun and was 3rd so I have good memories for this place.
