I came across an article recently that discussed how food is known to directly influence consciousness and feelings. According to the author, vegetarian yogi,...
Yesterday was the 33rd Blackwood Marathon Team Relay. I have no idea why it's called a marathon, its an adventure race really, with a 12k run, 8k river paddle,...

So it's nearing the end of Week 7 of my 16 week program to the 70.3, and I am very happy to report that the patella support knee brace seems to be working and I have managed to get through a week ...
It must be fate... a few weeks ago, I was invited by a friend to attend a workshop for triathletes about swimming biomechanics. Not one to avoid an opportunity to soak up new knowledge about ...
It's been a challenging couple of weeks again but I'm still hanging in here! I've had a few people comment that they enjoy reading my updates so I'll try to put a bit more detail in but as I've ...
This was scheduled to be easy week but given my modified running I figured I'd only knock back the ride and swims but try to keep forging ahead with my running....
Sunday I had to miss my long run (cough cough) as we had a 4am start to get our expo stuff setup at the Point Walter Men's Only triathlon (work)....
[gi]50124,
Week 11 didn't start so well and had various ups & downs but by the end I'd completed 10hrs 47 of training, with 1 full rest day. 3 running sessions, 2 swims and 3 rides....
Last Saturday (22nd October), I found myself in the Sorrento Challenge as part of a team with my friend Kate. The Sorrento Challenge is a bit like a triathlon starting with a swim and ending ...
Today was the 33rd anniversary of the Perth Marathon. Well done to all those who competed - either the full marathon, or team relay. Here's the course:
Club Ride #4 - route from Joondalup Maccas, down Joondalup Drv, Ocean Reef Rd, Hartman Drive, and backstreets to Mariginiup, then Old Yanchep Rd,...
Today was my second ever entry into a triathlon - the "Fun" category. 4.50am the alarm clock went off for a 5.15am depature. For the first time ever,...

I've been to 3 previous Busso Half Ironman races, but always as the spectator/supporter for my husband. This year was my first time in the event but not yet as an individual racer,...

This was my first Olympic Distance race so I had been very nervous in the lead up. As most of you are no doubt aware, Perth was bracing for Cyclone Bianca and so the weather was a bit unsettled on ...
So here I am at Week 16 - race week but I am a bit behind with my blogs so I'm going to do a few quick retrospective blogs, starting with this one for Week 13, which was Easter....
Week 14 started with the Coogee Triathlon on Sunday 15th April - plus I had my biggest volume week of the season. This is PEAK Week!! (so too, should last week have been, but that didn't happen)....
After a very solid Peak week, Week 15 started with some weariness but that's great as it's also week 1 of my 2 week taper. It started with 2 days of rest although that meant baking as this is ...
This is a followup to my last two blogs on my quest to lose an excess of 5.5kg that I gained rapidly over 5 weeks when I took a family trip to the USA....
Lately, I've been getting sudden, acute dizzy spells. At first I only got them when rolling over in bed. It is such an intense dizziness that its hard to believe its over within seconds and then ...
After 5 weeks in the USA with no bike, nowhere to swim and only a few runs I managed to pile on a few extra kilos. So I thought I should start blogging regularly with my plan to take it off and ...
Since I made such a song and dance 3 weeks ago about my intentions to train off the weight gain, I thought it was time to write a little update on my progress to far....
