Who are those helpers?
Ever wonder why someone would get up in the middle of the night to hand out bottles and gels and collect .. well, you know ..

European Cycling Tour
Anyone feel like coming over here to do a bike race in France this dummer?
Just thought I’d let you all know what myself and a Scottish mate are up to in case you’re interested in joining us:
Am planning on these 2 races:
http://www.csportsmegeve.com/index.htm 10 June (did the 160km race last year and it’s a blast / goes over some famous Tour De France mountains)
http://www.ardechoise.com/index_en.php3 21-23 June (few options here including a three-day 600km stage race – not sure which one to do yet. Is touted as “the most beautiful bike race in France”)
Ironman Switzerland (Zurich) 24 June – not doing this one but may go over to watch three Aussie friends who are doing it (1 from Perth/ 2 from Qld)
Tour De France – believe it or not it is starting in LONDON this year !!! On the 7/8 July then heading off into France. A MUST to see if in UK at the time

Ocean swims - Big Swim + Cole Classic!
Congrats to Amanda who competed in the Big Swim on Sunday.
The 2.7km course runs virtually straight out from Palm Beach, parallel to the coastline, around Little Head and into the centre of Whale Beach.
If you're keen to get your feet wet next weekend, the 2km Cole Classic is set for February 4th at 10:30am in Manly. If you're really keen for a swim, the 10k event starts at 7am!!

Triathlon dropped from Commonwealth Games
The Commonwealth Games Federation confirmed the list of 17 sports for New Delhi with tennis and archery replacing triathlon and basketball.
Triathlon attracted large crowds in both Manchester – where it made its Commonwealth Games debut – and Melbourne, but one of the problems with staging the sport in New Delhi was apparently finding a swimming course safe enough for competitors to use.
The chief executive of Triathlon New Zealand, Dave Beeche, said the International Triathlon Union advised national bodies last year it was unlikely the sport would be on the New Delhi programme.
"They were doing everything they could to get it into the programme but they just couldn't find anywhere for the swim. The conditions of the road might have been a challenge too.
"We've been speaking to the ITU about trying to find an alternative event to keep the sport in the public's mind, but haven't seen anything firm yet.
"It's disappointing not to have triathlon on the programme after doing so well last year. We will have to work hard to make sure the sport's profile stays up there."

What did I say about the Wind?
We've all heard it - whatever the weather on race day, it's the same for everyone. And so the previous two Saturdays of wind at Kurnell were embraced by most of us. What can you do.
Unfortunately I wasn't in as embracing a mood today, and the wind knocked me around at will heading away from the Caltex station, and I would have eagerly swapped my bike for a bottle of Coke and a chocolate bar.
But the key is that we got through 150km of training on the bike in weather that will make us fitter and stronger at the end of the day .. and it came on the second last day of three solid weeks of effort.
There are far more positives than negatives to take from the ride. And perhaps next week I'll finally get the `really good' stuff and hammer through the time trial. So hold onto your handlebars and keep spinning. It's a month to Malaysia and the same to Huskisson and not that much longer to Port Mac.
``If a man does not know what port he is steering for, no wind is favorable to him.” Seneca

The Art of Going Backwards
Without warning, it struck me - I was going backwards. It wasn't something that I was conscious of. I suspect it's a phenomena that most of us have experienced at one time or another.
It was a tough day at the office for me. Oh well. Tomorrow is a fresh day. And there's another time trial on Tuesday!!!
Some thoughts on `going backwards':
“Technological progress has merely provided us with more efficient means for going backwards.” Aldous Huxley
So I could have simply drunk water and had a similar effect, but nope, I had to drink some high priced ``energy'' drink - except the manufacturer forgot to add the energy.
One final thought:
“Standing still is the fastest way of moving backwards in a rapidly changing world.”
Lesson: Keep spinning (forward)!

Revised UK Tri Site

``You could be forgiven for being a bit suprised if you thought that you were going to land on the old familiar Triathletes Homepage site but we do hope you'll hold on for just a minute before hitting that Back button! You see, you really are in the right place -- we just had the movers in, did a bit of re-decorating and extended the place since you last popped in!! Yes, this is still the home page for triathlon in the UK but now we are running it as a full-time operation we thought that a new name would...''

Hill Takes Oz Day 5K!
John Hill, undaunted by the extension of the Brat 5k course by about 150 metres, ran a strategic race to take line honours at the BRAT club's Australia Day classic at Centennial Park.
In third, another Brit, Oli Lamb, found someone to pace himself the entire way.
Solid efforts from several others in the group. Who will recover in time for the third 60k time trial?
No shows: Damo, Dingo and Lisa. Though perhaps some slack can be found for the latter two who will race the Olympic distance event in Canberra on Sunday.
