It's only been three weeks since my last race which was Ironman New Zealand but my recovery has been good so I've decided to give Melbourne another crack. I had a fantastic race here last year racing along side 3 x World Champion Craig Alexander right up until the 37km mark on the marathon and was so close to going under the magical 8hr mark recording 8:00:12!
This year is a little different with having just completed Ironman New Zealand which was a full Ironman unlike last year when the weather bomb over New Zealand forced the race organizers to shorten the race to a half Ironman, that was a great build up race for Melbourne but this year is totally different. I have never done another Ironman so close to just competing in one three weeks ago so I have no idea how my body will feel until race day. The field is stacked again with over 45 professional men on the start line, race day kicks of at 7:30am (Melbourne time) with all the action on www.ironmanlive.com or www.ironman.com
Here's hoping my body will be ready this time around.
