 Post race antics in Miami were fun this year in 2010

 Doing Interviews around the USA is common nowadays at most of the events we compete. Here I appear on the morning show in Florida to talk about my MaccaNow foundation and our work with Breast Cancer

 The winners of the South Beach Miami Triathlon 2010

 We raised over 12k for Breast Cancer at our chairty night. AWESOME. It was great fun aswell

 View from the front of the class. I tell you it was a tough session. Spin for Life Charity class night in Singapore raised more than 12k fro Singapore Breast Cancer Foundation

 3 instructors, 60 in the class, 15 Breast cancer survivors and a room full of energy. Awesome night

tim Marr has become a great mate and is a top 10 finisher in kona for sure in the next couple of years. A great easy going guy, who shares a very similar personality to myself, we get on really well. He was a big help this year in Kona and ironically I raced in his race number this year. He finished 15 the year prior which was my start number this year.

Ok I did not win the race and that was a little disappointing. But to be honest, I have never been happier with a perfromance. At one satge in the race I went from going to win this event comfortably, to wondering how I was going to survive these killer cramps. To fight back, and claw a 4th place finish with all that going on. The face says it all.

With my girls now at school, and a sport that is conducted primarily in the Northern Hemisphere, time away for racing is always tough. This year I was away from my family a lot preparing and racing events. In years prior it was so easy as thhe kids would travel with us, but stability for them is something that Emma and I really believe in. Life on the road with your kids is good for us, but not the best for them. They were my motivation this year and every race I do I have a picture of my two girls on my handlebars to remind me of the sacrifices we have all made. Looking at them makes me smile when I race.

I always like too try and enjoy every race I do. I was very comfortable on the bike this year  in Kona and just wished I was in the front bunch after a terrible swim. Here I am aboout to catchh the front group with the press around. We all had a little laugh.

That was a day of Roller Coaster emotions. Not my second World Title in Kona but definately one of my best warrior performances.

I have never been prouder of a performance in my life. Not the result I was after, but everyone who raced me today, knows I have many huge fights left in me. Bring on 2010.

At mile 12 my race was about surviving these cramps. I lost 6 minutes in 2 miles as I had to walk and went from winning this race to wondering how I would finish it. Rasmus Henning caught me towards the energy lab and I had gone back to 7th place in the race. I had walked, vomitted and shuffled for 4 miles but was now back in the hunt. With 9 miles left to run I went back on the chase.

The downhill run towards Lu Lu's was where the first big cramp hit me hard. My conncerns started to grow here. I was 5 minutes down on the race lead and still 3 minutes ahead of the pack at 8 miles. This cramp really pulled me up on this downhill. I took a mental note, dont stride out on the downhills and stay controlled. More salt, more salt more salt.
