Nutrend Supplements

Three blogs in a week is a clear indicator that I have way too much free time on my hands and that limited training is being undertaken.  While this may be the case as I am recovering not only from a fall earlier in the week but also a nasty flu that I have just not been able to shake, I do come bearing more interesting news than just my progress in terms of recovery.Anyone paying close attention to the details of this blog may have noticed a few alterations in the layout of late and while I have further plans to enhance the viewing pleasure, there have also been a few changes to the sponsors, suppliers and supporters section, as well...

All that is the Noosa Triathlon

The Noosa Triathlon and Multisport Festival has been and gone for another year and in a similar fashion to every year not only was a great event put on by USM Events but a thouroughly enjoyable time was had by all.  We arrived at Noosa on the Friday to what wasn't exactly the best weather and as much as I wanted to get down to the beach to soak up the atmosphere and cheer on the swimmers in the Eyeline 1000, staying dry and inside was the preferred option.  There is always plenty to do at Noosa so the smarter option involved checking out all the new gear on offer at the expo.  I had a great catch-up with Neville from Ryders Eyewear...
