Aloha from the Big Island.
I like to write my report a few days post race. It gives me the chance to fully dissect and look at the race from every possible angle! And to experience every feeling; the happiness, the disappointment and finally the less emotional rational viewpoint. Being rational is also a lot easier when you’re not totally smashed!

Kona 2009
The results are in and it was a superb day for the four from FAST!
The wily veteran John Hill captured fourth place in his division with a sterling bike and run.
Oli Lamb ran away in the final few kilometres to take line honours with a 3:15 run split!
Kudos also to Stephane Seguin and Daniel Thompson on outstanding debut performances on one of the most intimidating race courses in the world.

Protection against Heat Illness
Protection against Heat Illness - from TriNSW newsletter
We all know that vigorous exercise places some people at risk of heat illness, especially in hot weather. If untreated, heat illness can lead to the more serious and potentially life-threatening condition of heat stroke. But by understanding the causes of heat illness sports event organisers, coaches, players and anyone involved in sport can help prevent heat illness.
Sports Medicine Australia (SMA) provides advice and guidelines for sporting organisations to help them protect their participants against heat illness. Using the advice provided in the fact sheet helps to minimise the risks. SMA's updated Beat the Heat - playing and exercising safely in hot weather fact sheet involves simple rules of common sense. Listen to your body and stop or slow down if you feel unwell. This is particularly important for children. Make sure that you have access to cool drinking water, wear a good hat and take particular care in the hottest parts of the day or year.
The target audience for the fact Sheet are all Australians who undertake sport and physical activity, but they will be particularly useful to sports administrators, coaches and fitness leaders. The fact sheet can be viewed on: http://www.sma.org.au/pdfdocuments/beat%20the%20heat%202008-email%20version.pdf

Pain is temporary
"Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever."

Belinda rocks the Rockies!
*Ironman Canada
After a solid swim that put her out of the water just a minute behind former All-America swimmer Andrea Fisher, Belinda Granger put on a cycling show that has never been matched at this historic race.
Her record-setting 4:52 split was seven minutes faster than Julianne White rode here in 1992. It also happened to be more than 11-minutes quicker than the next fastest cyclist in the women’s race, Ali Fitch.
The women many considered to be Granger’s most likely competition, Heather Wurtele and Lisa Bentley, found themselves starting the ride 19 and 30 minutes behind the Aussie.
Granger cruised through a 3:26 marathon (which she even split) and an impressive victory.
