Race 2 of the Canterbury Duathlon Series. The sun was shining ☀️. This series has 3 races each 2 weeks apart. We compete for points, but it’s also fun to compete against myself since it’s the same course each time.

This week felt slightly harder than the first race. There was a little more wind on the bike, I started a little too fast on the run and I’m probably in a worse cycle week than the last one.

Aside from all of that, the times were pretty similar it just hurt a little more today 😜

I’m looking forward to race 3 and currently sitting in 2nd for my age group 🥈

The inaugural !

Chilly start but a fun beautiful and challenging course. I knew we would climb over 450 m but I wasn’t prepared for how steep it was. The 1000m decent was controlled chaos as I felt like I was hanging on for dear life at moments 🤣.

My goal was under 2 hours since it was so hilly and I was very happy with the result. 4th in my age group is even more exciting ❤️

The food at the end was amazing! Akaroa Salmon tacos ❤️❤️❤️.

It was a great race! Sign up for next year.

March and this summer weren’t all about gym, run, swim, bike…my other love is waterskiing. I got a new ski that I love but am still trying to get used too. Imagine driving a regular car around a racetrack which is challenging enough and then driving the course in a race car! That’s how it feels, it’s too good for my skills but it’s fun 🤩

I like to joke about still skiing at 80…it’s a great goal to have ❤️❤️

What amazing thing would you like to still do at 80??

Just because I wasn’t posting doesn’t mean I wasn’t moving:)

Our gym put on “Move it March” and while I didn’t need any encouragement to keep moving, I enjoyed some of the extra challenges.

Specifically the Stair climber was such a KILLER!! Has anyone done that before? It was 100 flights in about 17 minutes, I was dripping with sweat! Thistle Fit NZ

On top of this was all my regular workouts with triathlon and gym sessions!!

“Smoke on the water”

A Thursday morning swim at Lake Rua with the ducks. The water didn’t feel too cold so I stayed in for 30 minutes. However, when I got changed and in the car it took me an hour to warm up!

That might be me for the open water season sadly 😢 also the Jellie Park outdoor pool has closed for the winter, such a sad time of year for swimming!!! I am aiming for one swim a week at Parakiorie when the 50 m pool is set up. Usually Tuesday and Thursdays 🩷

Anyone else swimming this autumn/winter??

Happy 🐣 Easter ✝️

It’s been a long month without FB, to be honest the main thing I missed was posting on this page and the accountability that posting gave me. I miss chatting to yall about races and routes and challenges. I miss researching topics to share and getting feedback from friends about how I motivated them to do something hard! All the positive amazing parts of FB.

This week I will recap some cool things that happened over the month. Staring with a long run yesterday when I looked up and saw a stag, we just sort of looked at each other ❤️.

I am training for Run Akaroa which is a new race. It’s a half marathon distance ❤️
