One month ago I won the Arafura Games Olympic distance race in Darwin. The day after I decided to go to the doctor about a cough I had which turned into pneumonia. So with two and a half weeks off training, laid up in bed, I am now back into swing of things and ready to race.
Packing the bike yesterday I was getting nervous about the race, but with a late call to go into work, I settled down and started to think positive. I got on the plane today talking to a couple of people and started to get excited about this. Going in with no expectations and trying my best. Having as much fun as I can possibly have.
Set the bike up today and it going like a dream, Thank you to Dingo at K9 Cycles and Specialized Bicycles for all your help and support. Anyone who is in Cairns I suggest you go and check out the Specialized tent at the Expo and see the new selection have set up.
Nice quiet one back at the hotel tonight and getting ready for a big day tomorrow. Have to somehow get out to the race site to check the bike in and then get back. A little difficult but I will see what happens.
