Living and Training in the Masif Central

This is a great video from our time in Clermont Ferrand. Yohan (Yoyo) and Martin (Bib) are great friends, training partners and racing buddies and I will miss the fun and relaxed time spent with them and the Clermont "PEC" Crew. Bib put together this video of a day training, climbing the Puy de Dome (Seb's first mountain ascent!) and enjoying the sunshine.

Under Armour from Powerplay Sports

I am pleased to confirm that in 2009 I will be wearing Under Armour clothing courtesy of Powerplay Sports in Subiaco. These technical clothing products are massive in America and Europe and they have recently expanded into the Australian market.
The company is closely aligned with Chris McCormack, 2007 Ironman World Champion and I am really looking forward to getting their products exposed in the market place.

Team Carboshotz win Anaconda

It was a perfect finish to the racing year at the Anaconda Adventure Race at Dunsborough on the weekend. Brilliant location, perect weather and a tough course all rolled into one.

Well done to the 1550 individuals and teams for getting through the race- it is one of those rare events where nature is in complete control of your performance for parts of the event and that is what I am sure will keep people coming back for more!!

I personally realised my goals for the event by helping our Carboshotz Sports Nutrition team to the overall victory in a course record time and also winning the run prime and breaking the course record.

Now it is time for a short rest before setting the base framework which will allow me to realise my goals for 2009.

Well done again to everyone on an awesome weekend and thanks to the organisers and sponsors- in particular Darryl and Steph from Carboshotz

Signed on for Mekong 2009 and Anaconda this weekend


Well as my last race for 2008 fast approaches, I have confirmed my first race for next year will be the "ITU Mekong River Multi-sport festival" in Nongkhai, Thailand, from March 27-29, 2009.

The event has been my season opener for the past two years and I am really excited to head back to Thailand for this sensational and unique event on the beautiful Mekong Delta.

Vijitr and his team of volunteers and helpers do an outstanding job organising the Aquathon (27th), Duathlon (28th) and Triathlon (29th) and that is the main reason so many internationals keep coming back!

Updates will be available soon at http://www.thaitriathlon.org/ (they will be in English also when up)

This weekend at the Anaconda Adventure race www.rapidascent.com.au , Team Carboshotz will look take back to back titles. I will be joined by Tim Bennet (MTB), Andrew Mosel (Swim) and Michael Baker (Paddle) in a formidable line up.

Skilled Engineering win Blackwood




The 30th annual Blackwood Marathon was held this weekend and once again it was a sensational event and party. The unique multi-sport race is steeped in history and I was fortunate to be selected to run for the Skilled Engineering Team- event winners for the past 6 years.

I was joined by Ray Boyd (Team Manager), David Bergland (cyclist), Travis Nederpelt (Swim-Olympian), Reece Baker (Kayak) and M'Liss Henry (Equestrian) plus Ray's cousin Justin who organises local logistics and is publican at the Greenbushes Hotel.

The run went well and I handed over to Reece with a solid lead and the fastest ztime of 37.02 for the 12km course. From there, the team continued to build a 5 minute victory margin at the finish and another successful race for the Skilled Engineering line up.

This event is definately worth making on your calenders for 2009. Big thanks to Skilled, Ray for his help with logistics and organisation and all the team
