7th @ Hell of the West Triathlon

Hi Guys,

Race report and some awesome photo's to follow. Quick summary. Came 7th overall, road to be leader of bike after 5th in swim, leader at bike/run transition, fastest bike split. Long road trip made fun with Andy from Hide Tide Photography who took some fantastic photo's that should end up in Australian and USA magazines. Recovering well and ready to hit the speed work in the lead up to Ironman NZ.

Cheers,
Bevan.

well done Bev!! that's just awesome. I wish I got some swim training off you while I had the chance. I'm thinking of doing my bronze medallion and the swim part sounds daunting for me! LoL

congrats on your family.
Steve.

Cheers,

things have been better mate, feeling ok though. I have had another MRI scan...this time not of my brain...my hips!
I've been suffering from bad pain in the left hip and the docs said maybe it could be from the high doses of Methyl Prednisone (side effect hits yours skeleton) paid off...I have badly pitted ball joints in the hips, left being the worst. Will need a hip replacement one day in the future. :-)) cool eh :-)) will get a titanium one!! LoL
still have bad pain in the back of skull where they did a brain biopsy. Trauma to the occipital nerve. I have nerve blocks done in RPA hospital from time to time...killing us money wise. Thankfully the government gave out some cash!!!
Love living at beautiful Port Macquarie!! Kids and Dee love it too :-)
If you're ever up this part.....DROP IN!!!!

stay cool Bev,
your mate always, Steve
