Afternoon team. Another cold day in Melbourne and I’m using my thigh compression to keep my head warm!!
Seriously though, not only are these things good as a beanie, they’re great for injured athletes. I have just spent 7 weeks rehabbing my hamstring after an operation to repair the tendon. That’s coming good, and I’m about to sign up for some second half of the year racing (Tour de Timor, Gold Coast Half, Shepp Half and IM WA). Looking forward to seeing the ironman scene again in December, afer what’s seemed a long abscence. Today’s sessions have been a couple of hours on the trainer and a swim…and I’m up for some intensity on the bike in the morning.
Take care out there, Mitch

So I’m here in Boulder living and Training with Matty White!
Things have been going well, Just getting ready for Challenge Copenhagen. We
finished a hard training camp in Breckenridge With Matty, Mitchy Robins and
Adam jetlegs Holborow. The Socks and Quad have been great, keeping the legs
fresh! Will  update you on how Copenhagen goes!

Easy 2hrs ride in St Raphael for me, then short but fast swim session in the pool. This afternoon, timeto pack everything, I’ll fly tomorrow to Germany for ITU long distance W.C

For the past three weeks, I have been on training camp in the Pyrenees in France. The first few days were difficult to adapt, with the lack of oxygen in the air it definitely makes training more of a challenge for example, in swimming training, my 100m times are around 5 seconds slower than at sea level. Being at this altitude has meant the total hours I was doing was less than other training camps but you really need to listen to your body more. I had to be careful not to over do it as recovery in this climate takes much longer. Thanks to my Compressport my training and especially my recovery have been going really well.

Spent the day with Matty and Mel recently at Bondi Junction Fitness first.

These  guys have put together two CD’s for the Fitness Industry. I think they could really give some of us a run for your money in the high energy sessions

Matty white and Tim Berkel continue on there amazing journey through the USA.

Tim was recently beaten after coming off his bike by Terenzo. 50 secs only and who knows what would have happened without the bike crash.

Matty this weekend came second to none other than Alexander the great.
