32Gi - NUTRITION SPONSOR

After trialling the product over the last month, I'm happy to announce 32Gi as my nutrition sponsor in the lead up to Busselton 70.3 and beyond. I've had a history of fluctuating energy levels in longer events and training sessions and the low GI features of the product will help prevent the spiking in my blood sugar levels to provide me with longer lasting energy and higher levels of performance. I've been using the Energy drink, Chews and Recovery drink over the last month in training and a number of test events with success and looking forward to the partnership going forward.

BUSSO PREPARATION

I'm really looking forward to my main race of the season at Busselton 70.3 of 5 May. Busselton is my favourite race on the WA calendar and gets bigger and better every year. This year looks like its going to be a stellar field with the likes of McKenzie, Bell, White, Berkel and Shortis on the startline.

In the lead up to the race, I've been focusing on making my bike leg as strong as possible to give myself every opportunity to start the run leg in a good position. In one of my test events of the weekend, I comfortably managed a 1.58 (41.5kph) 82K time trial at the state champs in Wandi in flat almost perfect conditions with a solid run off the bike at my Busso target race pace.

Prior to that, my string of 5 wins in a row came to an end at the hands of one of my athletes, Jimmy Lewin, who dusted me in the Telstra trievents race at Hillarys a few weeks ago with a great swim/ride combo - well done Jimmy!!! Despite my 2nd place at Hillarys, I have still been able to wrap up, for the second year in a row, the Telstra Trievent series as well as the WA Triathlete of the Year series before the last race of the season in Busso.

For now though, I've still got a few long rides and long runs to get through before the big day.
