I decided to bite the bullet and enter Ironman 70.3 Sunshine Coast! After Hawaii, my love for the sport was confirmed and I was left itching to do it all again! This event is in early Spring, so my thought process is that it will be a much more pleasant weather!
The Sunshine Coast happens to be where I grew up before moving to Melbourne in the early 2000's. Nothing like racing in your home town!
Thankfully I kept the training up since Hawaii, albeit a little lighter and with only 2 months and 6 days to go until the big day, I will still have ample time to ramp up training (and of course taper off).
I'll keep posting my progress on here. The weather in Melbourne has been pretty average the past couple weeks (cold, wet, and windy). This weekend saw me purchase a Smart Trainer and sign up to Zwift - I think I will get some use out of that!
I'm also signed up for the TriDot Pre-season Project so will be interesting to see how that goes.
I also conducted an FTP test last night and I'm sitting at 240W. I did a practice one the night before, so my legs weren't as fresh as they should have been. I know what I'll be doing this weekend :)
