The count down to Vanuatu is on – two days before we fly out of a (forecasted) snow-chilled Canterbury, making a bee line for the tropics! The islands look mighty inviting at present.

Having shaken-off the shoulder injury (more or less) I’ve spent quite a bit of time in the gym recently, working on strenght and flexibility. It will be interesting to see what impact the change in training routine has on my times, and the way I feel in the water.

The Takapuna swim (apologies for failing to report on this earlier) was AWESOME. I didn’t quite make the time I was after, but I did meet all my other goals. Now that I know I can comfortably swim my ‘own’ race, it’s time to focus on getting the best time I can – so I’ll be aiming for the hour in both Port Vila and Santos.
