Singapore not to be

First of all thank you to everyone for the good wishes leading into Singapore 70.3. But unfortunately time was not on my side and I was unable to make to start line. I only made the hard decision not to race two days before I flew out. But looking back, I definitely made the right decision. I have now had plenty of time to rest and am now back into running and riding pain free. The injury has taught me a big lesson that I need to take more care of my body. So since the injury I am now doing 4 core/glute sessions a week, 1 gym session a week, weekly massage, heaps of stretching and even thinking about taking up yoga. All of these things I have been neglecting in the past.

So for me it was a total different experience watching the race, but also very enjoyable especially with such a large group of West Australians competing. There were many amazing result by the West Aussies especially –

Rachel Smith 7^th Female overall

Kelly McCombie 1^st  30-34 and first female age grouper overall

The entire 18-24 male age group podium was made up of West Aussies

1^st Matt Burton, fastest age group bike split and 2^nd fastest male age grouper overall

2^nd Andy Tyack

3^rd Mark Luckin  

Caitlin Bridgeland 1^st 25-29, first female out of the water

So for me it’s time to look forward to Busselton 70.3, I have a few running races and TT I will be doing in the lead up to get me back into shape and am really looking forward to a big race on the 7^th May.
