Every day, every hour, every minute..
One of the hardest yet most valuable traits has to be the ability to view every doubtful dispensation, as replete with latent good. It’s a technique that allows some to venture further than others when you stumble on one of the many certain obstacles you’ll face in trying to achieve [...]

The highs and lows of a professional sportsperson… we all have them that’s for sure. One’s success can be determined by learning how to take the bad, remain dedicated to the process and wait for the good. Much like I’ve done in going to Europe on a budget skimpier than Lady Ga Ga’s G string, [...]

With the lake being closed and the bike course adjusted, omitting the major hills for the 10th anniversary of the Canberra City Half Ironman, I was initially a little disappointed. The swim and the hills were what I thought would be my best opportunity to get a break on known runners, Paul Attard and Luke [...]

Hi Team,
 
Sunday’s Gold Coast Half Ironman was exactly what it was cranked up to be… the depth of the field made for a very fast, close and aggressive race in the some of the most disgusting weather conditions experienced by all. The torrential rain and wind on top of the pressure we were applying to one another was enough to [...]

As one thing draws near on end, the birth of something bigger and better might just be around the corner awaiting. One of the great beauties in life is this element of the unknown and it’s essentially what keeps us ticking. I mean, the satisfaction of aiming, believing and achieving would surely be spoilt if [...]

Up and coming Australian triathlete Ollie Whistler had a great race on July 24 at the Belgium 70.3 in Antwerp. Ollie placed 6th overall in a time of 3:49:10, 3:55 behind first placed Bart Aernouts. In June Ollie raced in Switzerland in the Powerbar Ironman 70.3 and placed 22nd. This time, in Belgium, Ollie put together a [...]

People chasing success will never get there alone. Goals are rarely set or met by one person on their own. As important as it is for the individual to have faith in the end product of a clear vision, unforgiving hard work and patience, it is equally important for your support network to share this [...]

Danke schoen! This is a word becoming very worn in my small but growing German vocabulary. Whilst this sounds more positive than it’s opposite, my last few weeks haven’t been without its dramas. I must really consider myself lucky there is so much goodness in this world to thank!
After suffering a bruising to my soul [...]

Finally the second edition of M.Y Times… As pathetic as the name is, it is scarcely as pathetic as my ability to produce a newsletter full of controversial bollocks on time. My excuse is that I am actually very busy from day to day trying to get in my required training and recovery. Throw in [...]

Welcome to volume #1 of M.Y. Times,
Mmm, yes struggling for names on this one and I’m certainly not going to be writing to provide nations with breaking news and financial reviews. For those who’s brain work on a lower frequency than mine (god forbid if that’s anyone), this is the first of many little newsletters [...]
