Here Goes EPIC

Just about to get on the plane and head down to Christchurch for the start of Epic so time for a quick Blog...
As an Epic Newbie the main reason for doing this camp is really just to get out there and share this awesome sport and county with others. I find it's often the case with endurance sport and especially Ironman that people do too much of their training alone and end up leading a bit of a lonely life, things are so much better when you experience them with others... to get all philosophical on you: a coconut falling on a desert Island doesn't make any noise unless there is a human being there to listen to it.
In the same way you can do all your training and racing alone but no-one will really care or want to be bored with your stories or endless slideshows etc just getting out there and being part of the whole triathlon family is just wicked and that's whats cool about this sport!

So see you out there... just wondering whether I can wear all my clothes on the plane to cut down on excess luggage, they should make an allowance for us skinny underweight triathletes... wearing my wetsuit might be pushing it, better go pack!

PS Big up ya to all you Rotorua Massive, keep training, having fun and keep the lakes warm (but not with wee!)
