Being a Jafa - Day 3

Takapuna Beach, Sunrise
Another beautiful weekend in paradise. Mum and Dad are in town, arrived Friday night. Mum is coming with us to the Coldplay concert!.

Saturday morning, sneaked away for the normal Brick session.  Take a look at the view, sunrise over a flat sea off Takapuna Beach.  Awesome! Approx 60 club members out this morning, practicing dolphin diving, running in and out of the water and drafting.  Its dam hard running in and out, much harder than just swimming.  We had a increasing number of spectators, we must have been a sight for those taking a stroll along the beach.

BRICK Transition
A quickish transition onto the bike, a couple of us headed out up East Coast Rd, up Albany Hill, along Lonely Track then back down East Coast.  Approx 90min ride.  Today I was determined to go for run off the bike, so headed out running towards Milford.  Luckily ended up running with someone, otherwise I would have stopped long before I did.  Anyway the plan was to complete all 3 disciplines but not be out all day, after all we do have guests.


Coldplay Concert
Coldplay concert, although forced to go due to the wedding vow promise "at least one rock concert per year".  I really enjoyed it. Well done Liza.

As we didn't get home until 1am, getting up early for a ride just didn't happen.  Buggar!.  But I did go for a run!!

  1. Hey, Good to see you had a good weekend of training. I'm gutted I missed training on Sat as weather beautiful all weekend. I was working at the Fast 5 World Series tournament - looking after the Malawi team. Was thinking of you guys. Saw a couple IronMaori people on their bikes while on my 'guilt run' later on Sat AM by Milford/Takapuna. Still recovering from my rock slip at the warm-up at the 1/4 Ironmaori last weekend. Foot/toes strained, swollen and top of foot grazed, plus two very large blisters to balance the pain out. Sucked it up and still raced. Back to it this morning but where is the sun gone?!?! *Kellie*
