Hey Guys ,

Monday night here and quite tired after the weekends trip and racing in Lausanne . I didn’t feel to flash leading into the race , a little bit crook even . So just kept telling myself it that the race was only 1hr not 2 ! So I’m pretty happy to come away with a 5th place at a Sprint distance World Championship . I´m progressing back to some good form slowly

We also had a good team for the Sundays relay format and got a great start . But unfortunately our 1st guy came off his bike which set us back to a position which was impossible to catch up .

So back in Aix again now . Haven´t been 100% so having a few easy days to refresh and then the countdown to Budapest is on . Home in 3 weeks ! yeehaaa

Hope all you are all training hard .

Saturday – depart and return to Somerville House (6am for the 20km +

Sunday – depart from and return to The Melbourne Hotel.

Fingers crossed Flick's Switzerland experience matches that in 2006

Hey all ,

Back in France again . Kitzbuhel was great and turned on the weather for us luckily!

So a recap on the weekends race : 15th place Just missed front pack . Bugger . Pretty technical bike course .Had a decent run to follow .
All in all I’m getting it all back slowly . And in all reality I never would have thought I would be back and have raced 5 World Champs races . I’m pretty satisfied so far .

Have pulled up ok so far . Just a bit sore and tired . The usual a few days post race . Its more the early start and travel the next day that’s draining when the body is still trying to recover .

Only the Grand final of the World Champs Series to go . Budapest In 4 weeks .

So it’s wednesday here and between training I’m getting ready to pack up for a road trip to Lausanne to race an ITU sprint race on Saturday and then a teams race on Sunday . Last little race hit out before Worlds and should be interesting to see how the speed is ! short stuff is never really my forte and we’ll see how I back up on the quick turnaround . However the race is on part of the course where I got bronze at World Champs in 06 . So I do have great memories of the place .

Now only 4 weeks exactly till I’m home . Yes , it is lovely over here but I still get homesick ! Plus it’s a mega long time to be in camp with the same people and do the same thing . So a countdown is on . Can’t wait to join in on some of our SBTC club rides and runs I’m getting all these invites to! And more importantly the breakfasts after! I hope the weather back home is starting to warm up and it’s getting lighter in the mornings .

Well better go ,

Peace

Key dates and initiatives that all SBTC Members should look out for in AUGUST 2010:

• 14th August Monthly SBTC Sweat Session powered by Fitnance. Think free boot-camp for Triathletes!

Getting back into training can be arduous so why not networking with fellow triathletes at our weekend sessions.
