Update

Hi Guys,

Firstly, apologies for the lack of photo's of Frankie and news of late. We have had no internet or phone connections for the past 3 weeks. All should be complete by next week and regular updates will follow.

It has been a big few weeks. Between moving out of our Surry Hills warehouse apartment to a house near Newcastle's Bar Beach area, closing up the "3 Sports" business in the Sydney cbd due to the lease not being renewed, the new "fatherly" duties and attempting to get Frankie into a routine, travelling to Sydney every day for work, and trying to get the training hours back up again, there has not been much time for anything else. All seems to be falling into place now though and Frankie is getting into a better routine. The training around the Newcastle region is fantastic. I have a choice of two ocean baths within 5-10mins jog/walk from our house. There are great cycle crews around and I will be racing criteriums plus road races with them to get some more efforts in. I have been running around beaches or national parks the last two weeks enjoying the scenery and trail runs again.

I am racing in NZ this weekend at a half ironman triathlon on Saturday. I am flying over this Thursday and returning on Monday. It is a hard hilly course with some off road parts to the run (including a run up a lighthouse staircase twice). This will be a great test to mark my condition for the coming season. I will also be staying with my coach and going over my programs/races for the next period and lead into Ironman NZ in March. I am looking forward to the hard hit out and then continuing on with training through this festive season. I cannot wait to train in this Newcastle/Hunter region this summer and log a large amount of hours.

Frankie is absolutely amazing. Her smile can make your day. She already has me wrapped around her little finger. She has grown another 2.5cm and 1.1kgs. She is going to be a very tall, thin blonde according to the midwife and predictive graphs. We have some great photos and I am just awaiting the home internet connection to place these up. Frankie is absolutely gorgeous, but I am a bit biased ;) .

Cheers for now,
Bevan.
