Hi All,

YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRIATHLETE WHEN …

… you are following the “what will Crowie ride at Kona story” closely
… you have already said to your partner that you would like a new bike (Garmin, helmet, cycle shoes, tri suit …) for Christmas
… your body has a “gu o’clock” in built alarm.

Safe Training,

Cheers,
Robyn
