Well it's time that I put the tool belt on and start to build me a bridge!! ( and unnamed person told me that yesterday while riding !!)
So after a week of being hard on myself, I realize that there is nothing I can do about last weeks race other than learn from it and let it go!
I have decided that I will give todays run at the "G" a miss and enjoy the blue sky of Sunday, read the paper, drink COFFEE and just relax.
As tomorrow is the start of my training toward Ironman OZ ( with a few races in between being Geelong 70.3 and a couple of sprint distances)
So my mind will now focus on shedding 4 - 5 kgs, improving all 3 disciplines and building my mental strength.
I have gained a massive amount of information from last weeks race which will hold me in good stead for further racing ( Not all things go to plan as you want them too - Just look at the All Blacks - they have just lost the quarter finals to France in the Rugby World Cup and they were just about unbackable - proves anything can happen if you put your mind too it ..... or if you don't!!)
Geelong 70.3 is 126 days away and Ironman OZ is 154 days away so I have the right amount of time to step up, put in the additional hard yards and enjoy my days training.
Step 1 - the construction has started!

Caff Boy,
Some smart thicken there - nothing can change the past only lessons can be learnt - live is like that. How we would like things to be don't necessarily happen that way, but sometimes it can all come together. Acceptance is a great lesson. Once you learn this you can really get on and bath in the glory of all your achievements, large and small. Now onto your bridge.

It's good to see this Bridge now under construction. There are way more positivies than negatives to come out of the Gold Coast. Without doubt you were extremely hard on your performance and a bit unfair on yourself (I think:))
Port Mac for you now with Geelong on the way.
As for mental strength... You got plenty.
