I am looking forward to the Tour de Femme in Nelson at the end of December.
 
I will be competing in many of the Tri NZ Contact Cup races over summer, building towards the U23 qualification races in Wellington and Moloolooba.

I hope to get some overseas racing experience next year - can't wait!

I recieved a nice suprise in the mail yesterday....
A letter saying I made the finalists for the Auckland Junior Sportswoman of the Year.
It was a suprise as I had no idea I was nominated, and nice because I was nominated by the Auckland City Triathlon Club, so a big thankyou to them!

This morning a group of us rode from the workshop out to Karekare. We went down Karekare rd, then back up Lone Kauri rd (off the main rd out to Piha). I cannot even remember the last time I drove down there, so cy...

Raced the first Stroke and Stride on Wednesday night, 500m/5k. Had a good swim and happy with my solid run to finish 3rd. Not so happy that I hurt my calf somehow and now I can't run for a week or so. But thats ok! Looking on the bright side I get to swim and bike more....

It was great training and fun to get out of the city. Also it was great exposure for Ben, as we were all riding in his Performance Bicycle Tuning kit.

Whoa, two weeks turned into four weeks... Here is my late race report from World Champs.

Overall I was pleased with my performance in the World Champs race. I had a strong swim, leading the entire 750m.
 I made an early break on the bike, with one other competitor. We managed to maintain the break over the first two laps; however we were caught by the following group during lap three. I felt strong on the bike and comfortable riding in the pack.
Both transition 1 and 2 went very well.
I was disap...
