Putting a HALT to training

Posted by admin

So there I was…all pumped up and focused on completing a good solid 20 weeks of training in preparation for the Port Macquarie Half Ironman on Nov 9.

Obviously I realised that I had a few other commitments during that time, but generally I thought I would be able to train with minimal disruption

WRONG!!!

Who would have guessed that a wedding celebration would throw such a spanner into the works.

In hindsight I guess I should have known….after all IT WAS MY OWN WEDDING!

So on the 2nd of August (and a couple of weeks either side of that day) my training came to an abrupt halt as I became the very proud husband of Joanne.  As this picture shows….she is stunning and it was definitely worth it. 

My beautiful wife

I only hope that I can still muster up those same thoughts on Nov 9, rather than curse at lost time on the bike, in the pool, or pounding the pavement!!!
