First event of the season – Never Say Never
https://neversaynevernz.wordpress.com/2015/12/31/first-event-of-the-season
December 31, 2015. First event of the season. I didn’t give the cramp another thought until I came out of transition after the ride. My ride went well and I did a PB of 3:08 for the 90km. Despite it feeling like a really hard day, I did manage a small PB. Post race there were the usual celebrations and commiserations with fellow athletes. After a year of doing triathlon I have made some awesome friends. This entry was posted in Uncategorized. Broken bikes and new bikes. January 5, 2016 at 10:56 am. Enter...

It’s been a long time between post… – Never Say Never
https://neversaynevernz.wordpress.com/2016/03/18/its-been-a-long-time-between-post
March 18, 2016. It’s been a long time between post…. My second Ironman is now done and dusted. I’d planned to write regular posts leading up to the event, but training and work got in the way. Last Saturday was my second Ironman New Zealand. Although it didn’t have quite the buzz of the first (There’s only every ONE first! It was memorable and I will be going back for more. My accident three weeks prior to the event, did not seem to have any impact on the day. This entry was posted in Uncategorized.

Broken bikes and new bikes – Never Say Never
https://neversaynevernz.wordpress.com/2015/12/07/broken-bikes-and-new-bikes
Broken bikes and new bikes. I had intended writing this blog post five weeks ago, on completion of Training Camp in Taupo, but a lot has happened and time has flown by. Here it is, the beginning of December and the ‘summer’ events have already begun. The next day, was a race simulation on the Taupo Ironman course; a 90km out and back. It was a relatively good ride which I complete in just over 3 1/2 hours. This was followed with a 14km lap of the IM course. About to head off around Lake Taupo. You are co...

Moving on to the next training phase – Never Say Never
https://neversaynevernz.wordpress.com/2015/10/25/moving-on-to-the-next-training-phase
October 25, 2015. Moving on to the next training phase. This weekend has been similar to the last, but the double run day was yesterday and the double Wind trainer day is today. During yesterday’s morning run, on fresh legs compared to last weekend, I managed another 10k PB and am now within reach of a goal wondered if I could ever reach; 10 km in 1 hour. The afternoon run was hard, but not as difficult as last week. There is an interview with Dr Stacy Sims from Osmo Nutriton. Her interview is well worth...

Never Say Never – Page 2
https://neversaynevernz.wordpress.com/page/2
September 12, 2015. Satisfaction on the bike. A friend asked me this week, ‘Which your my strongest discipline? I’ve had three runs this week; none of them over an hour. I’m finding that I can run my target half marathon and 10 km pace times on tired legs. Although it’s not easy, I know the good this is doing me, with my end goals in mind. September 6, 2015. Keeping my head above water. August 29, 2015. I asked coach Louise to give me a light training week last week to give me more time, but I’m ba...

Revisiting Broadlands Road – Never Say Never
https://neversaynevernz.wordpress.com/2015/09/20/revisiting-broadlands-road
September 20, 2015. This Saturday, my scheduled long ride was a flat ride (3 /12 hours), to be done in a big gear. Finding a ‘flat’ place to ride, near Rotorua, is impossible unless you plan on doing multiple repeats of the same circuit. I decided that the best solution was to drive down to Reporoa and ride up and down Broadlands Road. This entry was posted in Uncategorized. Satisfaction on the bike. Holidays are a time for …. →.

Holidays are a time for …. – Never Say Never
https://neversaynevernz.wordpress.com/2015/09/27/holidays-are-a-time-for
September 27, 2015. Holidays are a time for …. School holidays began on Friday. Along with celebrating a friend and colleague’s birthday, I started my holidays with a two hour Windtrainer session. There was a time not so long ago, when ANY Friday afternoon training was daunting. Now it has become a part of my normal routine. In the past, coffee at Capers Epicurian was my Friday afternoon reward. How things have changed. This entry was posted in Uncategorized. Rest and Recovery Really Work →. On Keeping m...
