I recently had the opportunity to compete in Africa’s First official Ironman 70.3.

One may argue that my season got underway at Ironman Western Australia but in my mind that was the end of my second year as a triathlete and following a month long break, I was looking forward to getting 2008 underway with a mad dash at the Spectrum Sport Standard Triathlon.

Greetings fellow triathletes, all the way from sunny (yes that’s right) Auckland New Zealand. Having made the decision to emigrate based on personal and family reasons two years ago, we finally arrived just more than 6 weeks back.
