Winter Training

The training is now well under way. It was good to have few weeks off after my last race of the season. I needed to recharge batteries, just chill out, catch up with friends..... Now I am back in the training mode - building a good base for the upcoming season. Luckily New Zealand winters are training friendly - we don't have 2 feet of snow on the roads to deal with, it is not -15 degrees, and the lakes do not freez over. It has been fun so far - good long MTB adventures with Lucy deep in to the hills, getting a kayak lesson from Ian Edmond, sweating on our new fluid wind trainer.... So far everything is going well. From August my coach Matty Graham is going to be looking after my training. Looking forward to that.
