The ride 🚴‍♀️ Whether you’re an Ironma

The ride 🚴‍♀️

Whether you’re an Ironman pro, a cycling veteran or a total newbie - 180kms on bike is a very looooong way.

As I got going, I was just so grateful to be out of the water and doing something that felt more natural. Through years of endurance running, I had the self belief that my legs were strong and I could do this. That belief was tested several times.

Two laps of a 90km course. Lap one was all about getting to lap two. Lap two was where it got super difficult.

119kms in i started singing to myself to pass the time, everything hurt (and I mean everything) so I needed a distraction. I realised my brain was mush when I couldn’t remember the words to my favourite songs. I somehow managed to combine a Disney song to the tune of AC/DC 😂 at one point, I thought the shadow of a tree was a brick wall!

It was hot, and I could feel the salt water and sweat crystals on my skin. I was sunburnt and probably dehydrated but very determined.

About 165kms down and 15kms to go, I felt like I was on a dysfunctional merry-go-round. When you’re clipped in, your only option is to either get off your bike and quit, or just keep peddling. I went through a moment of absolute desperation to finish the bike leg, to complete elation that I was almost there. I cried a sense of relief about 6 times. Talk about an emotional rollercoaster!

Heading towards to dismount line, I slowly jumped off and went into transition - with a smile on my face knowing that I finally would get to run (even if it’s a marathon!)

LESSON - resilience isn’t a talent, it’s earned. Through every moment we push beyond what we think our limitation is. Now matter how hard it gets.

…now let’s run and get this done 🏃‍♀️

The swim 🏊‍♀️

My least strongest discipline, and I knew it. I was terrified. 3.8kms just seemed so big in my mind. What if I can’t do it? What if it’s too rough? What if they have to rescue me?

I hit the waters edge full of self doubt and uncertainty, and with a lot of courage. The first of two laps was ok, I struggled but kept pushing. I found some space and got into the flow.

The second lap was very hard. The wind picked up, the water was choppy. I was overwhelmed. My goggles filled with water, my arms were heavy, I drank too much ocean water. I went the wrong way, was pushed around, people grabbing my feet. It was like a salt water mosh pit.

Just breathe. Relax. Pull yourself together. This is what I’ve trained for, I can do this. Just keep swimming 🐠

After an hour and forty nine minutes, I hit dry land. I did it. I overcame the very thing I was scared to do.

Lesson - you CAN do the things you are afraid of.

…now time to get on the bike 🚴‍♀️

A great result for a steady (and conservative) race today. I was super stoked to experience my first triathlon, in preparation for the full Ironman in Busselton in 3 weeks! 🏊‍♀️🚴‍♀️🏃‍♀️

A huge thanks to my support crew @philsteny @bonnie_lee_12 @sharynvan 🙏💚

A massive shout out to my sponsors @patrolapart_navarapart and @debortoliwines whom without them today would not have been possible 🙏💙

Thanks also to my amazing coach @rebekahkeat_teamsiriustriclub and my training partner @trailruna 💜

I think I like this triathlon thing 😆💁‍♀️

A few training highlights of my current program, preparation for @ironmantri. From ocean swims, to trail runs, really loooooong rides to nutrition. It all counts.

My current focus
⭐️ complete every session (even when it’s not prefect)
⭐️ adapt to my body’s needs
⭐️ find my rhythm in each session
⭐️ have a training partner as much as possible

On the tough days, I sit in the pain and push through and on the easier days I’m enjoying the process.

I’ve got this 💪

Training progress ➡️
A big bowl of hard work, mixed with hours of dedication and sprinkled with tone of effort.

Training for Ironman isn’t easy, but it is worth it. Our dreams always are. I’m reminded today that it’s often right in the crux of difficulty, when it’s all uphill that we find another gear we don’t know we have. I’m all about pushing the limits and finding a new level.

What’s hiding in your potential? Time to discover it.

Ironman training underway 🏊‍♀️🚴‍♀️🏃‍♀️

9 weeks into a 23 week program, we’ve laid down a solid foundation to build on.

Making the transition from ultra marathons to the multi-discipline triathlon is challenging, and it’s pushing me way outside my comfort zone ☺️

From learning to swim in open water to the fine art of a bike run brick - I’m loving the process! 🫶

A massive thanks to my coach @rebekahkeat_teamsiriustriclub for her expertise and support, I’m blessed to learn from one of the best in the sport 🙏

The key goal is to debut the full distance Ironman in Busselton on Dec 3 🎯

Let’s go the distance! 👊
