This week has been a fairly heavy training week, but with gale force winds outside today, just couldn't face doing my long road ride. Body feeling rather fatigued after this week, but did hit a milestone with my swimming - 2.85km session - the longest yet in my quest to learn to swim. This week will be tiring, as want to watch Team NZ races live on TV - the trouble is I can't get back to sleep easily after it so takes it's toll on me during the day. Go Team NZ!

Wow - on 21/5/07 I was advised that I was going to be sponsored by Alpe d'Huez Clothing Ltd for the NZ Ironman 2008. Both excitement and panic set in. Excitement of being chosen and having more people to support me, and panic as it was further pressure to keep on training and get to the start line. Thank you Alpe d'Huez for this opportunity.

14 June - my training programme said to cycle hills for 1:30 so off I went, despite having a dislike of hills. Then off to physio to get more acupuncture on my achilles which is now almost 100% after experiencing tendonitis. Thankfully body holding up at this stage and the winter weather hasn't set in too much yet in Auckland.
