CHV Reunion and back running...


The CHV re-union last night bought together our training group from Perth in the early to mid 90's. The array of success achieved in sport and life is a credit to all the guys and it certainly was great to catch up and talk about the great times we have had in the past and catch up on everything in between.


Personally, I am happy to say it is all good on the injury front and now the training commences in earnest for 2009.

I am back running and looking forward to getting a head of steam up by late January and starting the season with some Tri's in Feb so I hit Europe with a full head of steam.

Running Regards

Seb turns 1...training again but no running


Well the start to training for 2009 hasn't gone as smoothly as expected...but does anything ever go exactly to plan?


I had some shin pain just before the Anaconda race on Nov 2nd and thought it would settle with 2 weeks scheduled rest. Unfortunately, the injury was actually a low grade stress response and I am still not running and won't commence till after Christmas.


Every cloud has a silver lining though and I have spent more time with Lianne and Seb and that is time that I wouldn't swap for anything. I have also been busy riding and with work at The Body Station Clinic and with the Front Runner Squad which continues to grow and expand (http://www.sebsports.com.au/) .


My plan for 2009 was to build a bigger bike base so I am currently doing that and will be knocking out around 400k/week over the month of December which is 50% more than last summer. I am confident that with all my years of running base will mean it comes back quickly once I get cracking in late December.


In the biggest news of all my little man Sebastian turns 1 next Wednesday so we will be having a party this weekend and the little fella is trying to walk so should be any day now......


Ciao
