Adelaide Tour Down Under

This week has certainly been a big one. Im down in Adelaide South Australia training and also experiencing for the third time the Santos Tour Down Under. We follow the race everyday and we (Dad, his girlfriend and myself) usually end up riding through the hills.

Yesterday was very unfortunate for myself as I was descending down a very long hill return to Adelaide from the end of the stage. It was very unfortunate that someone had crashed after a team car was handing out drink bottles at about 50km/h. One lady was taken out by a young rider and I went over the top of her and ended up on the road.

Despite that, I was able to get back on the bike today after only receiving minor cuts and grazes. This experience will only make me stronger and more aware.

One week of training remains before state triathlon in February. Im very excited to continue my hard work and determination leading into the race and following the Santos Tour Down Under
