As I’ve admitted, my blogging has been at best, poor over the past couple of months, but that’s not to say that I don’t have anything to blog about. Quite the opposite – it’s probably been the most busy and fun 60 days I’ve been lucky enough to have because of triathlon! I thought I would do a post mostly of pictures with some quick captions to cover some of the period …

Racing along the Pacific Coast Highway during the Malibu Triathlon on Sept 18th – for the relatively ‘boring’ concept of an out and back - its one of the nicest I’ve raced; the waves crashing and the surfers running to catch them is kinda cool I think.

Careful, don’t you go falling off that chair now… I mean it! – It’s been a ‘lenghty while’ shall we say but I’m back on it and ready to give you some race reports. Promise, but I can’t promise anything regarding the quality control processes in place. I’ll try my best, as always

Post race last Sunday here in Austin; with old Trek/K-Swiss team mate and race day winner ‘by a country mile’ Michi Raelert and good friend Richie Cunningham. I’m staying with Richie for the next month whilst getting ready for my Ironman.

Well, I really must start off with an apology for the distinct lack in material on my site of late … truth be told i’m just having too much darn fun to find the time to blog! Excuses excuses… I know. However, I am going to start to fill the ‘race report’ holes from the past 2 weeks or so over the next few days – I promise. Cronological order will have been thrown out the window in order to achieve that goal, but I feel thats allowed. Right? – As long as I finally update my blog and keep you up to date in some way, i’m off the hook I reckon??

First up is a look back at some of the training I have been doing out here during the past week. – I arrived here to train with and support my with my team mate Joe Gambles as he prepares for his Kona debut. It is a kind of role reversal; last year he was on Kona supporting my first race on the Big Island, so I am really enjoying being able to return the favour.

Myself tracking my Trek/K-Swiss team mates Joe Gambles (right) and Matt Lieto down from the infamous Hawi turnaround point on the bike course. – A photo doesn’t do it justice, but it is always windy up there, believe me!
