So it's been an eventful few weeks.

After my win at the Albany Half in January I went back to my home town of Auckland New-Zealand for the Inaugural Asia Pacfic 70.3,
However this time Is was to help out my long time employer and sponsor "blueseventy"
A few pics attached from a shoot we did. (The Awesome Brendon O'Hagan does some magic stuff)www.brendonohagan.co.nz



After helping at the expo, meeting up with the family and spending a crazy weekend at home it was back to Perth to get stuck into some training.
It's been a great 6 weeks with some real consistant hard training. I'm pretty sure I could sleep on a concrete slab right now!!

In January the Aussies put on some serious fire works to celebrate Australia day (which for you America's rivals that of the 4th of July)



I swam in one of the biggest open water competitions the world has to offer "The Rottnest Chanel Swim" a 19.7KM swim.
I competed in a 4 man team and we ended up finishing in 3rd place. (In our catagory)
I was keen to swim it solo in coming years, It takes the best swimmers 4:35:00 to complete the crossing. But its the cold and chop that can really mess you up. (Alot of Triathlete's compare it to doing an IM) So i'll be putting it on the TO DO list!!
The amount of boats in the water was incredible, like nothing I've ever seen before. (Hopefully the photo's give you a rough idea)



In other news I've had the joy of signing to the coolest brand going "Wattie INK". It'll be an exciting year ahead and the momentum Wattie INK is gaining in the triathlon community will make for an awesome 2013. I'm super pumped to be on board this year!!
I'll be hard to miss me in this custom kit thats for sure!!

I have also signed a multi year deal with Infinit Nutrition.
I've struggled with Nutrition in the past and the team at Infinit has been great in changing my nutrition plan for my races from Olympic through to Ironman.

Also I'm very happy to say that I have offically partnered with ISM Saddles. I've been using there saddles since 2008 and I'm stoked to offically call them a sponsor!! (couldn't do it on any other seat)

To top off it off I'm lucky enough to have 110% PlayHarder, Adding compression and recovery in there unique way to my team this year. (Thanks Rach)

Everything is falling into place and I'm calling 13 my new lucky number!!

There's alot going on and this weekend Kate and I are off to Albany for an Olympic distance race. We'll see if there is any speed left in the engine!

A huge thank-you to all my Sponsors and supporters New and Old. It's been said before, but without you this isnt possible.
