Seasondebut in Takapuna, NZ

My first race for the 2009 season will be today in Takapuna, NZ. There will be a very strong field with the  kiwi athletes like the Worlds No.1 ranked athlete Sam Warriner, Andrea Hewitt(no.9) Debbie Tanner, Nicky Samuels but also fellow internationals like my trainingpartners Kate Roberts (SA) and Zita Szabo(HUN).

The race will be televised live in NZ1 (www.tvnz.co.nz) and they also offer live streaming on their homepage. For more articles about the race go to  www.triathlon.org.nz

As I have been suffering from a sore knee for quite a while now I haven’t got very high expectations for the runleg of the race. My biggest aim for today is to go out hard and see where my swim and bike is at compared to some of the best triathletes in the world.
