Melbourne

Well, I had a week in Melbourne and kept up my training.

The bike I hired for my Sunday ride had 21 gears but weighed more than me.The cycling was a bit hazardous with the tram lines and the hook-turns and you had to look out for hippos on skateboards but apart from that I kept up the routines. Swimming was at the renovated City Baths which are hopefully what the Teps will look like in 10 years or whenever they manage to finish the refurbishments.

I was there when the Aussies were taking us to the cleaners in the Cricket and so took a bit of flak. Should have stayed another week!

There is much to talk about on the Triathlon scene and my New Year’s resolution is to do more posts on the Blog for my “many” readers (6197 views all-time and 97 on one weird day in September!)

Have a great Christmas and don’t eat too many mince pies that you’ll have to carry around at Kinloch, Taupo or Wellington!
