City to Surf
August 11th, 2009 | No Comments
hi Everyone,
I’ve been going well since Roth, very motivateed for Hawaii after the solid race in Germany. I’ve also got a few races before Hawaii and have been back in training to go and make some money on a 3 week OS trip to philllipines 70.3, a week and half in singapore training and coaching, then a half ironman in Gerardmere, France.
So 4 weeks after Roth, with a good 10 days training, then 6 days taper I raced the City to Surf 14km fun run with 75000 competitors. I had an ok run and finished 18th in 44:41. It was my first ever attempt at the course and am much wiser having now seen it. It’s hilly and tough. The crowds line the course the entire way and is a great experience.
My legs are still sore today 2 days later, but I have been for a ride and will swim soon and looking forward to a great race in Phillipines. It will be a great event with many top professional trithletes there to compete and to take athletes on organised runs, rides, swims, and Q & A sessions before the race.
I’ll be in Singapore running a triathlon camp, one on one swim sessions, and tagging along on their bike rides for about 10 days and am looking forward to the heat! Sydney is great, I love training here at home, but it will be a nice break to get into hot weather and Hawaii like conditions.
Hawaii will go well this year.
Take a day off,
Pete
