As a huge cycling fan, I really enjoyed watch the final two stages of the Tour Down Under on TV over the weekend. I'm a absolutely over the moon that not only did Simon Gerrans win but that GreenEdge had a race win in their first outing as a Pro Tour team. However this joy does leave me with a little bit of concern. Yet again an Aussie has won the tour. My fear is that with the race being...

Last week I read Macca's I'm Here To Win. Talk about a page turner. I'm not a fast reader but the fact that I couldn't put it down meant that I read it cover to cover in less than two days. One of the things that I really loved was the fact that Chris grew up in Sydney (my home town), discovered triathlon and ironman by watching the same Wide World of Sports broadcast of Kona and started...

It has been quite a while since my last post, over 7 months! But lots has been happening. Let's start with the biggest August 28th saw the birth of my daughter. Her first 4 months have been an interesting ride. Learning to be a father has not been easy. Especially while training for the...

So many would be forgiven for thinking that I have fallen off the wagon again, after not having posted anything in some time. Well, I'm pleased to say that I haven't. Actually if you follow my Facebook or Twitter feeds you would have heard some more (though not much more) from me. Anyway, I...

Updated 7th May 2001: Added link to Brad's website It has been a busy last 5 days on the fitness front. It all started on Saturday when I met Brad McCullough a new client for my website company. The backstory that lead to my deciding to meet Brad (I don't usually get to meet our new clients at...

The biggest thing I decided at the end of last year I wanted to work on most this year is balance. In particular finding the way to do everything I want to do without letting anything slip. My wife will tell you I'm trying to be Superman and doing too much, but I truly believe I am capable of...

From the outset I should mention that this post is inspired from a great friend of mine, Simon, who wrote a recent post "Of Athletics" about taking his kids to try athletics. I first started "Little A's" just before my 7th birthday, and right from the beginning I enjoyed it. I was always tall...

Happy news, I have managed to get on the scales and be under 120kg's. This is a first at least a couple of years. So progress is definitely happening. At this point I should give full disclosure and mention that I was 119.9kg's, so certainly a bit touch and go really. However, my scales also...

Shall we try that again? When I started this blog in June 2008, two and half years ago, I was planning on finding some balance in my life and loose weight and get back to being generally organised. However as you can see from some of the early posts to the site, just after starting the site, my...

I'm planning out the relaunch of my site and this is a test as a part of it.

So it is fair to say that the fitness thing hasn't been going too well in recent months, as with the blogging too I guess. There are always a million excuses but lets just say that I am mightily...

I am blessed to work with a lot of truly amazing people and these last few weeks have been no exception. A few days ago we went live with stage one of a new website for Kate Nankivell's new Force...

Trijuice have just put up an interesting article about a new meal replacement and hunger supression product designed especially for athletes. The weight management product for athletes, is the...

As training progresses achieving goals progresses. What I mean is that it is not possible to put in the training and not be achieving a few milestones along the way. Following on from my last...

Forming new habits can be very difficult. I have been back from Europe now for almost two months and I really have been struggling to get any kind of consistent training in. If you are reading this...

As previously mentioned I have been lucky enough to be at the Tour de France this year and of course there has been drug problems again. Everybody says they are doing everything they can and that...

A dream come true. For almost as long as I have followed the tour, I have wanted to be on Alpe d’Huez to watch a stage of the Tour de France and today I did it. Not only did I do it but I...

This is the first post on my new and first ever blog. On the about page you can read my history and what I am planning. I will have some events and goals pages coming soon so that you will be able...
