XOSIZE Tri Series 09/10 - Race 5 Brighton Report

My 2nd Tri completed but with my new toy and I bet my previous time, all of 5 secs but hey it's better!


I must admit the swim was the hardest part today I just didn't have fun, but out on the bike and run not a problem.


Lisa managed to see me after swim, on my bike and running! Only issue according to her is they need more coffee machines! "One and queue a mile long is just not fun"

New Toy - Giant Defy 1 Road Bike

For some time I have been toying with the idea of getting a Road Bike and after my first Tri I felt that I should run a road bike in my next Tri. Today I purchased (need a fitting, etc which is happening tomorrow) Giant Defy 1 from the guys at Freedom Machine in Port Melbourne
