Anne MacGowan is a swimmer who is based in Tasmania. She will shortly be heading up to Noosa for 3 weeks of training. Nice :-) Anne will be in Sydney for some swim coaching from the 10th-12th November so you might meet her then!
Congratulations to Wendy and Emma, who completed the 100km Oxfam trailwalker in the small hours of this morning. Emma's team posted an excellent time for their first attempt, just outside 20 hours if my memory serves me correctly Wendy was in an all female team of experienced trailwalkers who 'won' this year's event and placed 13th overall with a time of 17 hours 8 minutes. Oh by the way, its not a competition, the event is all about taking part ;-) YEAH RIGHT! We all look forward to reading your race reports girls :-)
Anne Besser is with her husband Michael over in Switzerland making her final preparations ahead of the Triathlon Age Group World Championships which are held in Lausanne next weekend. Anne suffered some pretty huge challenges during her preparations for this race. Well Anne's broken elbow has healed, she had her best 2 weeks of training right before she left. Making it to the start line has not been an easy task for Anne but she is feeling relaxed and ready. Enjoy your day Anne, we're all going to be following you online!
Andrew is beginning the next chapter of his Half Ironman campaign with 10 weeks to prepare for the challenge Port Mac Half. He will be joined by Wendy once she has recovered from her bushwalking adventures and caught up with her homework assignments.
Emma will be building on her solid base of running throughout the winter as she steps up for Noosa. As part of her preparations she will line up for Sydney Half Marathon alongside her father.
Well that's all for now. Don't forget to check out the 'Human Growth Calendar' link at the top right of this page.
