Well the first World Cup in Mooloolaba was last weekend and went okay. I finished a solid 19th in a strong Olympic year field, less than a minute out of my top 10 goal. I made few mistakes in T1 (which I managed to recover from) and T2 (which put me onto the run back of the lead girls, oops!), but I had a decent run (37.46) for how I felt on the day! It was a rough swim and a hot bike and run. Only going up from here!
Now I am off to New Plymouth, New Zealand for a week and then to Japan for the next 2 races. I'll try to get on for an update there but you might have to wait until after Japan (or until the Tokyo airport!). Thanks for all the supporting e-mails and comments--they keep me positive and working hard!!
Take care back home...I gotta go pack!

Update!
Hey long time no blog!
Just a quick update again: Raced a couple times out here, the Gold Coast tri and the Splash and Dash 4 Cash! The GC race went well until the run, I had some muscle spasm/cramping issues, so I pulled out after 5k. The Splash and dash was fun and I missed out on the win by a few seconds but was leading upto the last 300m and came in second--still dashed my way to some cash!
Now it is the final push into Mooloolaba World Cup! So far everything is going according to plan and I'm feeling great! 2 more hard weeks and then it's taper time!!!
Anyway, hope everything is going well in the Northern Hemisphere!! Talk to you soon--I'll post some race pics soon!!
