Out of the last 12 months I have been racing for 10. October 2017 and the April just gone have been the only two months where I've been race free. Some might say I am crazy, but I definitely don't think I've overloaded myself or have hindered my ability to train and improve. Since landing here in Perth around five months ago I have seen vast improvements in my swimming, biking and running, all thanks to Stu, Bon and the team at Eclipse. From the first week or two I knew this was the place to be and in the last three months that has been proven. Racing in my first Continental Cups, setting a new 5km PB and achieving numerous other smaller goals within training. Now I'm sure that for all of you reading in England; friends, family and followers, you might have a question on your mind...when are you coming back?
Good question indeed! And for once I have an answer. I will be landing in London on the 6th June (feel free to organise a welcome home party at Heathrow ;)) and I have to say I am pretty excited to be returning home. There are a lot of people I have missed and not seen for so long. Of course I will miss everyone in Perth, but I won't be spending long in the UK as I've got 3 or 4 weekends of racing planned with most of those being in Europe and six weeks later I'll be back on a plane to Perth (feel free to organise a leaving party at Heathrow ;)). These six weeks may be my last in the UK for a long time, as I will be relocating permanently to Perth on my return.
Before that I still have just over five weeks before I board the plane back to England and between now and then I have a few things planned. First up is Ironman Busselton, down the coast south of Perth. I will not be doing the race, don't worry, but I will be racing the 1km swim and the 5km run on the Saturday so I'm hoping to firstly avoid any sharks or sting rays in the swim and then maybe set a fast time (hopefully a PB) on the run. Who knows what will happen though. Follow my socials to find out!
After this race I'd like to try and race in a few cycling crits, if I can figure out how to enter them! And if my bike decides to start working again (long story short ... she doesn't like to change gears it seems), but hopefully if all goes to plan, in my next blog I'll be able to tell you all about some successful racing.
But now it's time to head back out into the sun and top up my tan while I can.
Thank you so much for reading, please feel free to leave any comments perhaps about what you might want to hear in the next blog?! I'm open to suggestions ;). Once again, thanks for visiting my site and have a good day.
See you soon,
Sam
