So far the biggest hurdle we’ve struck heading into Cairns is our head space, while Leanne has a slight tear to her left meniscus, it’s taken me a little longer than I’d thought to get my breathing back under control. Therefore we haven’t trained on as well as what we’d like & motivation has been … Continued

#Melbourne Ironman result

After 16 hours & 35 minutes I finished Melbourne Ironman 2014 in one piece. I was hoping that we’d have a pleasant day with not to much wind, we ended up with 14c overcast & windy, but that’s Melbourne. The water was icy cold when I first hopped in but managed to keep breathing under … Continued

“Whether you have asthma or COPD managing your condition can be difficult but it can be done. Take your medications and exercise as much as you can, eat a healthy diet and keep the weight down. Set yourself a goal to help keep you on track and always remember no matter how tough it gets there’s always someone doing it tougher than you. Put simply, the body will do what the mind tells it to!!”
