I was keen to do another event after the disappointment of Busselton, and Challenge Wanaka, although only 7 weeks after Busselton, represented as good an opportunity as any. I was assuming that the calf wouldn’t take too long to heal with some rest and further Biosymm treatment and I was right. Two weeks after Busselton I ...

Race Report – Ironman Western Australia
As most of you may be aware, I was having trouble with my right calf for a month prior to Ironman Western Australia. I did manage 2 five kilometre jogs in the last few days prior to the event, but I knew something still wasn’t right, and this was a major let down. As I am an optimistic ...
Brad Wall – Hawaii Bound Again
Brad has done himself proud again with a magnificent performance in Busselton on the 4th of December. Victory in the 25-29 age group in Ironman Western Australia has seen him qualify for the Hawaii Ironman World Championships for the 4th time. While a little disappointed with his cycle, he swam and ran the house down to ...
Still no joy, but optimistic (as always)
I would be lost without the Biosymm support. I certainly wouldn’t be attempting to defend my title on the 4th, that is for sure and certain. As it stands now, if I can get some running done in the next week, I will be ok, and I think that will be the case. I had a 4th needling session ...
Make that three 5 kilometre jogs…….
Walking home is starting to wear thin. Made the call to Kieran – more needles tomorrow. Grrrrrrrrr!...
Update November 15th

Congratulations Brad Wall – National 25-29 Ironman 70.3 Champion
My boy, Brad, has done it again with a sterling peformance in Port Macquarie last Sunday. His finishing time of 4.24.18 was a credit to him on such a challenging course. He had the fastest swim in his age group – 24.56, the 4th fastest cycle – 2.29.00 and finished it off with the fastest ...
Race Report Hawaii Ironman
I have to say that I was a little fortunate to be toeing the start line in Kona this year after rejecting my July qualifier slot. I developed a stress fracture in my heel bone at the end of May and this put an end to my mid year US racing aspirations and my ability to accumulate points ...
Vegas 70.3 Worlds
Vegas baby!……… yes Vegas Unfortunately the race was situated closer to Henderson, so we didn’t even take the time to “drive the strip”. Actually, I had already driven the strip with a friend of mine, Josh Nottle, in my first trip to the US way back in……ummmmm, not sure really, probably about 2002, or thereabouts. ...
