I call this race heartbreak race and it always is. Seven cracks at it now with the one victory back in 2009. In the weekend I was runner-up for the third time, but yet I keep coming back because I so much want another victory one day at my home Ironman. I love racing in Taupo. I find it really challenging, the cold in the morning, the mental aspects of riding 180k time trial; just me by myself on the bumpy roads with a stiff head wind which builds up to really hit you on that last 45k, and then that hilly run course when your legs are completely smashed from the bike ride. It's a pretty brutal course. But I love the swim, I love the crowds on the run, I love the community of Taupo and the race is always so well organised and the IMNZ team always looks after us so well. Plus in the weekend my son kept telling me how much he loves Taupo, the swimming pool especially and the Rotary train ride the day after the race, so I am sure we will be back!I wasn't disappointed in my race. It was one...
