Yesterday was one of those very special zen life moments. I have paddled the Port of Echuca many times, but yesterday I swam with hundreds in the mighty Murray River past paddlesteamers, framed by beautiful rivergums dappled with afternoon sunlight and with flocks of cockatoos flying overhead. Uniquely Australian. Swimming with the current in an ancient river. Full of energy and pushing me towards something great. Can’t believe I did this race. And probably wouldn’t have, had it not been for the love and support of my awesome friends and family. To them I say thanks. Josh, Michelle, Mike, Jenny, Jac, Ben, Neil, Jan, Justin and our gorgeous kids.
My first sprint distance triathlon
