Happy New Year and Update

Hi All,

Happy New Year. I wish you a successful and safe racing season. May it bring new trips to lovely locations (and hopefully you can stash the bike in for a race :) ), much fun and happiness, and continued good health.

I am now settled in Newcastle. Training has been going great. All sessions have been completed. I have had some extra time for training of late as '3 Sports' closed in early December. I have also made good use of the time to spend it with Sam and Frankie. I have ridden all over the Hunter district taking in some good challenging rides. Running at Glenrock State Park with its numerous trails and hills has kept me interested and without need for music tunes. I destroyed my back wheel on a 4hr ride and limped home on the weekend. But I must thank Brett from Hadley's Cycles for organising a quick fix so that the bike was fully serviced and returned in less than a day.

I am presently job hunting in the Newcastle region for some Physiotherapy/Personal-Gym Trainer rehabilitation work. I am also looking for new sponsors due to my sponsor 3 Sports closing its doors. So, there is a lot on the table at the moment organisational wise.

Frankie is growing and seems to become more aware each day. It is amazing how much children pick up from what you do and others around. She is now 60cm long and 5.3kg and we have daily play conversations/mumbles. I now have some Frankie photo's up on my facebook page but am yet to be able to post photo's here due to Telstra taking there time in fixing wireless for us at the house. It has been since late November since we were told 4 days and it would be on. Hopefully, wireless will be on soon and I can post more.

I will be racing in Goondawindi at 'The Hell of the West' triathlon on February 1st in preparation for the New Zealand Ironman Triathlon on March 7th. All training is directed at a good performance in NZ and I am looking forward to successfully executing a great race.

Train safe,
Bevan.
