HE IS the "nearly man" of the Noosa Triathlon - an athlete who has a deep connection with the event and a burning desire to win it after two previous podium finishes. For James Seear, who as a teenager got his first taste of the sport at the Noosa Triathlon, the famous annual event is more than a race. http://www.sunshinecoastdaily.com.au/story/2011/10/26/chasing-top-level-on-the-tri-podium/

This year has been a hard one to swallow, between inconsistent results and constantly trying to play catch-up on my training and gaining fitness. My broken collarbone prior to the season commencing was a setback but, with Olympic selection on the line this year, I knew I had to put it behind me quickly and look positively towards the season ahead. Simply, I had no choice but to race and train through the peak season with the hope of finding my best form quickly, in order to ensure that my ITU points were high enough to get starts. After some bad results, which remain difficult to deal with, I had a very hard decision to make.

I am just sending out the design for my 2011 cycle kit, it stands out in the crowd and has got some great feedback so far! If you or anyone you know is interested in buying my unique cycle kit please send me an order. I have put a link to the design as well as a link to the sizing chart below. The design is the same as last year but I am using a different manufacture. The kit will be made by Sugoi, using their top of the range RS jersey and Pro Bib knicks.

I am pleased to report that I am now into the start of my 4th week back into full training load. My recovery has passed quickly and I am currently a few weeks ahead of schedule. I am still being careful though to avoid any niggling problems, which could slow progress down.

I thought I should update you all on recent events! I returned to training after my end of season break and was enjoying being back into the swing of things. I was down in Northern NSW on a bike ride during our annual summer camp. We were, unfortunately, not blessed with great weather. Indeed, it was at its worst with torrential rain and flooding. I was struggling a bit during the ride and was sitting 8th wheel in a group of 9 whilst riding along the Tweed Valley Way. A snake slithered out onto the road as I was riding past and before I knew it my back wheel had slid out and I smacked into the ground quite hard.

I sit here on a train leaving La Baule on the west coast of France heading to Frankfurt in Germany and as I sit here with Jimi Hendrix Playing excessively loud I think to my self that my last 2 weeks has been an enormous journey.

During the Mooloolaba Triathlon Festival, Triathlon Australia hosted its annual awards evening in order to recognise the performance of its athletes during the year. There was a great turn out, and attendees included many world class athletes including 2-time World IM Champion (and general legend) Craig Alexander. Not unexpectedly, Craig was awarded Athlete of the Year and Male Performance of the Year, with Emma Moffat taking the award for Female Performance of the Year. The sport’s leading juniors were also recognised, with upcoming stars Holly Aitken and Drew Viles leading the way.
