» Taupo 320km Enduro (02/12/2009)
Just a quick update.

After having a an easy 3 weeks of training to refresh before the NZ Season, I kick started my training by racing the 320km enduro part of the Lake Taupo Cycle event on Saturday. It is an event I have always wanted to do and I felt it would be a good start to my Ironman build up. I did surprise myself not expecting to ride as strong as I did and managed to come away with first place and a new course record by 8min finishing in 9hr28min.
I had a lot of fun at this great event and I really enjoyed the night riding. Although not a typical night and day in the office for me this has given my form a real QUICK boost.

Now its time to knuckle down and get into some big miles before the christmas pud and if I recover in the next few days I will hit the sea and asphalt at the Famous Olympic distance Tinman triathlon on Sunday.
