Menzies Classic coming up....

Well now that my founded passion is over for the season (triathlons don't start again until Sept) I have been keeping busy training and cycling with Eastern Goldfields Cycle Club. I am getting very excited. In a few weeks a group of us are heading to Menzies for the Menzies Classic, a road cycle event held every year in the Goldfields. This year it is said to be Australia's richest road race with a few elite cyclists headed our way. Cannot wait for the long weekend to come sooner. For more information head to the EGCC website... http://easterngoldfieldscycleclub.myclub.org.au/

Well the last triathlon race for the season was a lot of fun. I ended up completing my largest distance yet - the Short Olympic Distance event which is equivalent to the longer distance normal events. Gave me a bit of confidence that I am capable of doing these longer distances so I might give them a bit of a go towards the end of next season. Was happy to take minutes of my PB again. I set myself goals to go faster than before and was pleasantly surprised by what I achieved. My times are slow compared to nearly everyone else but I am happy with what I achieved - and really it is about racing yourself (well for me anyway :))

The highlight of the weekend was getting to meet and race with pro triathletes Kate Beluga and Guy Crawford. Kate spends half the year in Australia and the other half in the US racing and keeping up with sponsorship deals. Kate is an Ironman Champ and Guy is a short distance specialist - both legends in my eyes. They provided us with a presentation on their lives and nutrition and loads of inspiration. I was lucky enough to even get to time them in their distances for the pool - I could not get over Guy's swim - it was awesome. I was totally saturated by the end of it though despite being out of the pool - his turns are quite powerful. Kate seemed to have an awesome run on her too - was fantastic watching the competition over the weekend and the rivalry that Esperance tri club gave us - coming up for the day. The best part I loved of the whole day was just how nice Kate and Guy were - not only were they inspirational as sportsman but as people they were so friendly and helpful with anything you wanted to know. Had to show off my pic with Guy and Kate after race...

On the scrap booking front I have completed a few Websters pages I wanted to share...

Thanks for looking...
