Bloody tough tonight - I was STUFFED. Really did not have the energy and struggled my way through the class. Still, I was there and I worked hard with what I had to give! That's what Ironme...

I usually love running along the Taupo lake front, but this morning the waves were crashing in on the shore and making it hard to concentrate hoping that they would still get to run the 70.3 rac...

Only a short swim so I could hang with the kids in the hot pools..... We were meant to be watching an Ironman!!!! That had to be the suckiest weekend EVER! Anyway, I managed 250m swim, 500m pul...

With the impending STORM looking at wiping out Ironman tomorrow, I really wasn't in the mood. Blahed my way around..... very nothing ride! Waste of time really.

Just had the stem on my road bike changed so really wanted to try it out - got wet.... bike is better though!

Wasn't meant to be..... but was!

Although, I have to admit it was nice not to feel oppressive humidity! Did x5 small hill reps and the ran up the Beaumaris Extn road - hard yakka! Paul ran up past me like I was standing still.....

Tough class tonight - lots of nasty ab work at the end.... I've just got boobs and belly, not abs! Makes it slightly uncomfortable but I am working on getting rid of those so BRING IT ON.....

Abit cooler today too.... what's up with the sudden Autumn feeling about the weather - it's only Feb. Man this summer has been short! A few hills today. Still a struggle but will keep ...

Was the kids turn for an event this weekend - and I had been HANGING OUT for my day off.... kids did great and it was a beautiful day in Taupo for it.

After the mugginess of the last few weeks in Tauranga, it was abit of a shock to the system! Good run though, bloody windy. Ran from Lake Terrace up to Kiddle Drive - 5mins uphill run. Damn slow...

I am loving going out in the dark, nice and early, no traffic, very peaceful! Another good ride. Very pelased with how this is progressing right now. Feeling better already!

Wicked class - I was sooooooo wound up when I got there. A couple of things had just pissed me off in the half hour before the class started so lets just say that the boxing bag got a fairly goo...

Didn't fancy doing a run at all today - starting to feel pretty damn tired.... have decided that the programmed runs I am doing are too long. 45mins is enough right now.... anything longer ...

Di dragged me along to this class at the gym - boy oh boy, won't be able to sneeze or cough tomorrow - damn good tho!

Did a bit more spinning rather than hills. Felt blah today - am tired, sore from pump, and just felt uncomfortable. Need to get a shorter stem which might stop the hand pain I get all the time f...

It hurt - was meant to do 45mins but I just couldn't do it. The legs have given in to the training of the last week and the gazillion lunges and squats last night didn't help! Oh well,...

First one of these classes for YONKS. Man it was hard. There are always so many god damn lunges and squats!!!!! Legs will be feeling it tomorrow! Great class tho and good to be back (my absence ...

Man, this morning was soooo weird. Rode in and out of a heavy shower on the same road!!!!! Absolutely pi$$ed down!!!!!!! Did a few reps up and down Carmichael Road/Miller Road. Starting to get s...

Ran around Daisy Hardwick this morning. A bit stop start as I kept bumping into people I knew and had to say hi..... By the time I got to an hour I was getting pretty tired I will admit, but I ...

Man it was nice out there. Went out at a very leisurely 8am today. Tua of Matua and Bethlehem today. Have a great ride!!! Feeling good.

The main aim of this run was to do it NON STOP. So, started slow and ended slow - therefore a very slow run!!! Was a bit rough around the 30min mark but I made it. A few wooplas to myself when ...

OMG it was soooooo hot and the class was super super full. Ended up with a guy which is fine on the bags but when you are trying to hold the pads up for him it can get a bit rough. He was being ...

High rpm recovery ride. Felt weird and tiring. Very unused to spinning so flat out these days. Was all good tho. Enjoying going out with my hubby actually - his rides are slow though - woops!

Man it was hot.... we both came back sweating buckets! Very slow run as it is abit stop start, up stairs etc... haven't got the strength to run up the hill out of home yet! It's bad en...

Around Bethlehem/Otumoetai. Paul and I were out together looking like a bunch of moving Xmas trees. Can't be too careful. Very very warm out there.

early morning run - very muggy. Feeling much better after a good sleep last night. Thank god we are home this weekend!!!! Be the first one since early Jan.

Was meant to start back at Pump Boxing class tonight but instead I had a wee melt down that ended up with me leaving work early and sleeping for 3 hours instead. Think this mind of mine was just...

Big day with the athletes on camp today so no time for me to do anything but help them! That's what I'm there for right??

Not a very good run - legs felt fine, but I bought a new bra that can cross over the back and I've been trying that - absolutely killing my shoulders and neck so it was THAT that made it ha...

Wasn't a particularly serious ride, just a tootle around the Ironman run course to check on Jodi - and I didn't find her I might add.

Got out REALLY early this morning lit up like a flashing xmas tree - awesome morning for a ride! Very warm; hooned about the place in Bethlehem and really really enjoyed it. After Kinloch on the...

Early in to work again and by the time I finished I was hot, bothered and had lots to pack for the weekend. So we had McDonalds for dinner instead. NAUGHTY!

This week is going to be full of days off as work is a major stress this week. Went in at 6.30am and left at 6.30pm today - probably the same again tomorrow. Fancy people wanting to be PAID for ...

Lots to do to get ready for camp, so after packing our over loaded car with gear and kids we headed into Taupo to check on the Ironman ride & run course, then home to Tga to unpack and start rep...

God I was soooooo nervous about doing this race. I knew the bike was just gonna SUCK. I was right. Have never been so close to turning around on a hill and going home. But, I sucked it up and ca...

I looooooove being here. It is stunning. Damn legs are tired tho.... I think I'm in for a hard time tomorrow!

Woops, how do I get myself into this pickle?! No swimming for weeks, and there is an event this weekend - oh dear!!!!! Oh well, all good - just as well I am part fish and the water is not reall...

First box class in nearly 2 months and it bloody felt like it too!!!!!!!!!! Thought I was going to throw up at one point - so good to be back lol

Still feeling pretty grotty so just a walk today. Nice morning for it though

Think the body is revolting against the last 2 weeks of holiday food and alcohol. Feel like CRAP. Stomach is a mess.............

Home from camping with my last hangover for a wee while. Time to dry out, lose weight and get fit enough to be able to do Yeppoon half ironman in August! Even though holidays are great, it does ...

Had to at least be on my feet for the full 45mins, even if I didn't run it.

Paul dropped me 5kms out from the campsite and I ran back. Man it was a mind over matter game to keep running the whole way. But I got there. The entire run was supposed to be 45mins but I was d...

Great ride - tried not to use the easiest gear when on the hills making them harder. Trying to do some preparation for the big bastard hills at Kinloch on the weekend! think it's gonna be a...

Great ride this morning - really tried to push myself and enjoyed it. Just got to keep on keeping on and it will eventually get easier. Great way to start the day!

After drowning my sorrows in a bottle of wine last night, I struggled to get out of bed for the planned brick session, so instead I just ran. Did it at the beach and it was lovely, sun coming up...

This training business is admittedly turning into more of a head game than a physical one for me right now! But, I will keep going until I'm all sorted! PROMISE.....

Over to Shelley Bay to watch them break up and try and haul in some containers - 9 people, only 2 actually doing anything!! hmmmmm. Very warm walk but enjoyable.

A minute slower but christ it was windy - hard hard work!
