Catching up on February……….

February was busy month.  It started on the 1st with my first duathlon for the year….  The last MORE FM triathlon/duathlon to be held in Hamilton run by Shane Hooks.  It was a good day and I finished in a great time.  Unfortunately I think both the ride and the last run were shorter than they should have been!  The following weekend was both my birthday on the Saturday and Cameron’s Weetbix tryathlon on the Sunday.

Cameron did well. Last year he had problems at the start of the swim and ended up being pulled for the whole swim.  This year he swam just about the entire two lengths of the pool.

READY!

In there somewhere!

Off to transition

This year he also had no problems finding his bike, and was soon off.

He was thrilled as 2 All Blacks had signed his shirt

The weekend after was WET.  It rained and rained and rained, and for some fun Rob & Tim went off and did THE BLACK STUMP.  They had to stop a couple of times to clear the mud from between their back wheels and their frames to enable them to keep riding!

a bit of mud!

more mud!

already had a wash!

The following weekend was the REAL Duathlon.  It was a lovely day! It was the first time that the family had managed to come and see me.  I took longer than I wanted to, but I had a great finish!
