Lead up to Busselton 70.3

Its been a little while since I blogged, so thought I should give a little update.

Firstly I'd like to announce two new sponsors in 32Gi and SportsMed Subiaco. 32Gi is a low gi energy drink and energy chews which is perfect for endurance events. SportsMed have been responsible for getting me back up and going after breaking my hip three and a bit years ago, plus many other smaller injuries. I'm very happy for their support and the support of my other sponsors.

On that note
Need any last minute gels, a Skins trisuit or Brooks Shoes....Go to Sportsfever!
Any super last minute gear needs or if you just enjoy a good coffee....Go to FatDuck Cycles + Espresso (might even see me there)
Recovery massage with Bodyright massage next week is good recovery too

Since Karri Valley I got a fair bit of solid work in and am pretty happy with were I'm at. Its almost weird having a good build up to this race with the last few years being constantly interrupted by injury. Even the top of my hamstring has settled down. I haven't felt it since early March, which is awesome as it had been constant for 3+ years and I'd resigned myself to putting up with it forever.

Only hiccup was running into a car door on my bike two weeks ago, but got away from that incident amazing unharmed with just a few bruises and the bike had no damage. Those moments before impact, when time slows down, were horrible! All the hard work you've put in.... about to be ruined by some muppet who opens their passenger door into a bike lane without looking or thinking. Luckily it ended ok, but I've been on edge on the bike since.

The race on the weekend has a pretty solid pro field and I'm looking forward to the challenge of mixing it with them. Hopefully the WA pro's can all be up there!

Have a great race if your competing on the weekend! Especially the STC and Pursuit PT crews! Thanks for the motivation!
