CLEARWATER 70.3 6 NOVEMBER 08
Hi I hope everyone is well and healthy. Just a quick note to fill you in on what's been happening the last month.
First stop was Kona, Hawaii for the World Ironman Championships. I stayed with the Specialized team for the week and we had a blast, even though I did have one of those weeks from hell. I dropped my cell phone in the pool, I broke my hand riding my bike down town for breakfast and I was not even under the influence of Alcohol. I got a job on race day as a spotter out on the course which meant I got to see the race from the front the whole day which was a huge learning curve. I stayed in town for another 3 weeks to train in the sun but the VOG (volcanic smog) was killing me, so off to Clearwater, Florida a few days earlier than expected to get some clean air.My last key workout on Friday on the race course went well, so now I am counting down the days, 4 more to go. The healing of my hand has come along well but I am still have to ride with my splint on.Last but not least I would like to welcome my newest sponsor onboard, ARX by Healthy Directions. ARX is a recovery pill that I have been using for the last couple months. In a world where recovery is so important and can determine your outcome on race day, ARX helps speed this along. My legs to be able to bounce back after hard workouts so I can train harder more often. Check it out at http://www.fastertomorrow.com/.
Saturday 8th November is the World 70.3 (Half Ironman) Championships here at Clearwater Beach, Florida. 6:45am kick off time which is 12:45am back home in NZ, so you all better be up watching!!! Just kidding, I will try get an email out soon after the race so when you wake up on Sunday morning you should know the result. If you do wish to follow the race you can do so on http://www.ironmanlive.com/ hopefully they will have respectable coverage.
Thanks and will report back soon
