Currently trying to give the State Series another bash as it is very good $$$ even though it’s just low-key racing, but I’ll only do 4 of the 6 races. I’m leading after doing 3 of 4, but think I’ll get pipped into second if one competitor does both the next two.
Got a good excuse for missing the main finale though, I’ll be in New Zealand. Not yet entered or said it on here and I debated back and forth a little while but we’ve planned the holiday around me racing Ironman Taupo on March 4th. We had the holiday initially lined up for 2020 before covid stopped it and Taupo is definitely my bucket list race so hugely looking forward to it and the next 6 weeks.
After that it’s a very empty feeling sporting year, but I really do need to think about career progression too so not such bad timing. There’s nothing in triathlon in Oceania that hugely excites me and I’m busy the Cairns weekend.
Thought about doing a long swim as that’s always been a dream and there are some amazing ones here like Rottnest Channel, but there’s no 10k events in South Australia I could use as a qualifier to do a long one, plus don’t know if I could get a support crew organised to kayak.
There are a few hills locally used as Everests, and that appeals so maybe once it gets back round to Spring I’ll look at that.
