World’s most expensive backpack… thanks to @im World’s most expensive backpack… thanks to @imvh encouraging me to “register anyway and get your backpack”… great weather at the moment and looking forward to cheering on all my @perthtriclub clubmates tomorrow!

She loved him, he loved her, and she would very occasionally gently let him know that he was being a bit too rough. Unfortunately this weekend we had to help him through his first experience of grief, as well as dealing with our own. She was a beautiful dog, the perfect companion for Kian… and now sleeps peacefully without pain. RIP Marble.

The long weekend trip wasn’t just about good foo The long weekend trip wasn’t just about good food, great company, beer and gin... we also managed to fit in a triathlon as well! @perthtriclub had strong representation in the senior long course event, and as the only club rep in the short course, I claim a club podium finish LOL. A great time was had by all, we enjoyed the hospitality of club member Andrew and his family, the Corrigin locals, and the fantastic @coppenclan Corrigin Hotel At training this morning, there was already discussion about painting the town green white and black next year! 💚🤍🖤 #lovemyclub #triathlon #trilife #corrigin #countrywa
Started the day with a @perthtriclub group ride. I Started the day with a @perthtriclub group ride. It was an undulating route, which my weight amplifies to make it full-fledged hilly, rough surfaces, a strong wind that seemed to get you every which way, and I was not sad that it was over... However... it was great to ride in the wide open spaces, and even the character-building aspects of the ride will be positive long-term. With a farm tour and lunch now sorted, the obvious thing to do next is take part in a triathlon @🤣🤣
First time I’ve ever ventured out on the Brookto First time I’ve ever ventured out on the Brookton Hwy - a little road trip with some @perthtriclub crazies to have a few beers, laughs, a bit of training and to take part in the #CorriginTriathlon
Training always goes in cycles, and there are days Training always goes in cycles, and there are days when you feel like you’ve bitten off more than you can chew. There are other days when things click and you feel on top of the world... Today was one of the latter, on the back of a little bit of the former... albeit with near-perfect conditions at Coogee, I realised after my first full lap of the shark barrier that I was on track to go sub-60 minutes for a 1.9km swim for the very first time! And that’s where it landed - with 2 months to go before @im703busso where I will need to complete the 1.9km swim in under 70 minutes, a swim in calm conditions produced a sub-60! Average pace was only just above 3 mins per 100m too - so how long before I start seeing pace start with a 2 on a consistent basis? 🤔 These little wins and milestones are so important with a long-term project like this; they motivate, they let you know that all that work really is paying off, and they provide such a confidence boost! Now to keep fingers crossed 🤞 for calm conditions in May 🤣🤣 #nomoremrfatguy #smallsteps2greatachievements #ptcaccountability #trilife #triathlon #ironman #ironmantraining #roadtobusso

I’ll miss the old design, but it’s not gone forever... I have an unworn 2XL that will fit me one day - and then I’ll be going retro 🤣
Compare the pair... almost 4 years ago, probably a Compare the pair... almost 4 years ago, probably at least 30kg lighter... slightly different river loop route, but half an hour quicker and average close to 25km/h - makes for a very real and tangible goal to get back there this year 😊
It may only be walking, but clocking up the kms, r It may only be walking, but clocking up the kms, re-establishing habits, and having more consistency in training is part of the rebuild, and will pay dividends over time. #nmmfg #makelifeamazing #smallsteps2greatachievements #trilife #triathlon #roadtobusso

It was only 3km, and a slow run/walk (albeit the r It was only 3km, and a slow run/walk (albeit the return 1.5 was all uphill) but that was one hot and sweat session. Also the first time I’ve cycled and run the same day for ages (outside of actual events and bricks) 3 months to build up to the goals marathon distance - no excuses.
