Coach

Over the last week, I have had a change of coach. Katie and I have decided that it is best if she focusses on her new job and her elite quad training. I am extremely grateful for the help and encouragement that she has given me. The program that she gave me an excellent kick start and her enthusiasm has been awesome. THANKS HEAPS, KATIE.

My new coach is Geoff Williamson (see Niggles and Wisdom). I am really looking forward to working with Geoff as he, more than anyone, knows the limits of my body and my level of ability as he is the one that has to clean up the aftermath of my training and racing. He is my massage therapist afterall. He is also coaching a number of other atheletes (not sure that I should say other, that implies that I am an athelete) and is a successful athlete in his own right so I know am in good hands. He's also training for the Lake Wanaka Half (part of the Challenge Wanaka event) and Ironman New Zealand so it will be fun to compare our relative progress - not that I am going to be anywhere near his level.
