Out and about in Oct

lunch down at Collaroy.

Happy to see summer is starting to settle in - that means beach time.

Fiesta during the "Crave Sydney fair". This is a month long festival celebrating good food and life in Sydney.

We went for a Sunday Afternoon bush walk.

Sri Chinmoy Peace Triathlon

Headed off to the nation's capital Canberra to complete in the Sri Chinmoy Peace Triathlon.
The race was a 'training' race to gauge how well my Ironman preparation is going.





The race is a long course triathlon
Swim - 2.2 km
Bike - 80 km
Run - 20km


Due to the water temp being 13 Deg wetsuits were compulsory.


Exiting the water after 37min - happy to be out of that cold water.

After a quick change I was onto the bike for the 80km bike leg.

This was the last race for my trusty steed (Phoenix) as he has be demoted to position of training bike.

This is my new steed a Felt B2R - Juice has named it - Spartacus

At the finish after the 20km run (1h48) - very happy with that!

I completed the race in 5h13:48. It turned out to be a great "training" race for Ironman WA.
