Canberra - Australian Olympic Distance Championships

I promised one Miss Laura Siddall that she would get a mention here...

Laura and I left the scorching heat of Sydney for the scorching heat of Canberra to race the Olympic Distance and Sprint Distance races.

A great morning for racing - and after the extremely hot conditions, it was unexpectedly cold on the start line, and there were a fair few jumpers, and goosebumps visible.

After Laura recently completing Busso Ironman in December she has done a quick turn around to become a sprint triathlete. She did an awesome job in winning her age group and coming 2nd overall in the females in the sprint distance.

It was a great day, and i think the new bike had a lot to do with me getting a 13min PB. Having only done 2 Olympic Distance races now, I can't wait to do Mooloolaba in March.
