It's good to start the season off with a long course race and the Forster Ultimate triathlon on October 15th was an excellent event. A 2km swim, 120km bike and 20km run was a really good hit out. The 45kph headwind on the bike made for a good workout and the hot conditions made it tough going for many on the run. The annual Nepean triathlon in November is an iconic event and one of my favourites.
Last weekend I raced in the Asia-Pacific 70.3 Ironman triathlon in Canberra, the debut of a fabulous event in a top location. Weather-wise we had everything from sun to rain, clear skies to thunderstorms. I was very happy with 4th place in my age group.
My next major event is the inaugural Ironman Asia-Pacific triathlon to be held in Melbourne in March. I'm really looking forward to racing on this new course which starts in Frankston and finishes in St Kilda.
