I’ve always said that as soon as triathlon stopped being fun, I would stop doing it. I think I’ve finally reached that point.
Geelong 70.3 Race Report
This was one of the best courses, and most enjoyable weekends of racing I’ve ever had! Whilst not stoked with my result (9th in my AG, time of 5:06), it’s what I deserve and has provided a good benchmark which I know I can improve on.
