Latest NewsOperation Hawaii - Weekly Update 13: Brought to you by Velocity Sports LabDate: 30 August 2010It was back to Ironman training this week as the day of reckoning slowly approaches. With only six weeks left till the big showdown in Kona, the time has come to put in the big miles again. READ IT… Operation Hawaii - Weekly Update 12: Brought to you by Velocity Sports LabDate: 24 August 2010This weeks’ blog gets to include a race report (yay!) after two and a half months of training, getting sick, trying to put back on the 5kg I lost before ITU Worlds in Germany (by eating anything and everything I could lay my hands on - must say, Burritos with refried beans are good), trying to train again whilst having about as much power as a kitchen blender, and then obviously trying to get in any sort of quality training done in this heat.

Slowly but surely we’re getting over the jet lag (not that sleeping is ever a problem at any time of the day), but more importantly, bodily functions are starting to catch up with the 9hour time difference (so no more getting out of bed at 1am to go to the loo).

READ IT… Operation Hawaii - Weekly Update 7: Brought to you by Velocity Sports LabDate: 18 July 2010Another week gone, another good week of training. Under clear blue skies most of this week, and temperatures between 30 and 36 degrees Celsius, I had two key sessions in my preparation for World Champs in just 2 weeks time.

Immenstadt, the near southern-most point of Germany, is a breath taking, beautiful area, with snow capped mountains in the background (yes, the alps are so high that they still have some snow on top even in the middle of July), and hundreds of hills and lakes for running, riding, and swimming.

We’ve been blessed with extremely hot weather this week, most days at around 30 degrees C and this weekend at 35C. The hot weather meant the swimming pool water heated up to a non wetsuit manageable training temperature of 25C, but unfortunately also meant hordes and hordes of non swimmer types trying to keep cool.
