Making the Olympic team... A dream come true and my new "When were you most proud to be a New Zealander" moment.
13 Days until the final selection race in Sydney, and my final opportunity to give the selectors every reason to select me for London 2012 New Zealand Olympic Team.
Its the year of 2012 and no doubt could possibly be the biggest year of my career so far.
Looming in April is the final Olympic selection race in Sydney, the final showdown, the final chance to prove to the selectors that I want to be in London on the start line in August! To do that requires a lot of hard work, and the training ive been doing the past 10 weeks is more than keeping me busy!
Last weekend I was lucky enough to be part of the ITU Auckland World Cup Triathlon in downtown Auckland's CBD.
The event itself was one of the best I have ever done. Being at an advantage with a home crowd, the atmosphere out on the course and before the swim start was absolutely amazing. The crowd 3-4 deep around the whole course was just great to see and I thank the organisers and the spectators for coming out to watch as it truly does make the race even better!
Wrapping down the 2011 season means a final push towards the Auckland World Cup on the 20th November.
