c'est la vie: Control

http://cestlavie-kerensamarie.blogspot.com/2012/05/control.html

A lot of people have been asking me how I'm feeling about racing; am I nervous/excited/stressed/anxious. Am I worried about what could happen with flats, nutrition or heat. An equal number of people (admittedly most from work) stare at me like I've actually lost my mind when I explain what the race entails and simply ask various forms of "why on earth are you putting yourself through THAT?

c'est la vie: So where the bloody hell are you?

http://cestlavie-kerensamarie.blogspot.com/2012/05/so-where-bloody-hell-are-you.html

So where the bloody hell are you? Sigh That would all be true if the plane diverted to Hawaii. In the 24ish hours since landing, it has been cold, windy and has rained non-stop. Never mind, I thought, this can't bring me down! And I live in Melbourne.pfft this is nothing. Then I remembered I'd need my wet weather gear. It's excellent I remembered this while at Cairns airport when said gear is still at home. In Melbourne. Should" is not "will" and in my line of work is the sort of language we use when eit...

c'est la vie: January 2012

http://cestlavie-kerensamarie.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html

To all the weekend warrior males of Beach Road. I've been patient with you. I've been polite and I've tolerated your ridiculous behaviour for months now. But today was officially it. The beauty of blogosphere has given me a voice and it will be heard. 1 Oh hello. Did I invite you to sit on my ass? No friend, no group, no triathlon mates. Just me, my Garmin and my bike. Ever think there might be a reason for that? 2 See this bike? It's not like yours. Notice that my bike is different to yours? Wind sucks&...

c'est la vie: December 2011

http://cestlavie-kerensamarie.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html

There's no place like. Palm Beach - first day of Xmas holidays :). Being home on the Gold Coast for Christmas has been so good this year. Unlike last year (where it rained, none stop, for the entire 8 days of my break) the weather has been pretty good - plenty of sun, lots of heat, LOTS of humidity and enough token showers to squeeze in the afternoon sleep. Not this time. I used this as a challenge. What a great environment to really test things out, push those barriers during the tough interval ...So it...

c'est la vie: That's why there's "I" in tr-i-athlon

http://cestlavie-kerensamarie.blogspot.com/2012/06/thats-why-theres-i-in-tr-i-athlon.html

That's why there's "I" in tr-i-athlon. One of the reasons I love triathlon is because it is an individual sport. You don't rely on anyone else, success or failure is all up to you and almost solely in your control (race mishaps or mechanicals aside). You can't hide behind anyone if you're having a bad day, wait for team members to correct your errors. It's you, making the small decisions each step of the race. Saturday, June 09, 2012.

c'est la vie: February 2012

http://cestlavie-kerensamarie.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html

BUT I'M NOT ONE TO SIT AROUND. The nut bag in me kind of likes the novelty of squad again. Turning up and being subjected to some cruel form of torture, not knowing what you're in for. I like changes to training, it keeps like interesting. So I've got big hopes that this cruel torture will pay off. Just me and the open road. On that note, 2 weeks until Victor Harbour and tomorrow is another solid weekend of training. Starting to get very close, 11 weeks till race day! Me finishing Sufferfest - happy days!

I'm not a doctor, or a coach or qualified in any respect to talk about returning to sport from illness or injury. But I have been on this journey a couple of times now and learnt a few lessons the hard way about how these things need to be approached and some of the thoughts that can crowd your mind in the process:. Everyone's been training so much while I've been off sick/injured. They will be so much better then me on race day. Crap Based on what? Were you absolute equals before that? Once time has pas...

c'est la vie: August 2011

It's officially 62 days until Noosa and it all starts today. Discipline, committment, consistency. After recovering from my poplitus injury, I went to go for a light latte ride last Thursday and promptly strained my hamstring tendon. I mean, COME ON. Am I looking for a message in all of this? So - swimming tonight, Khan in the morning (who will congratulate me on being such a good patient, give me the all clear so I can go to windtrainer tomorrow night - here's hoping! Sunday, August 28, 2011. I thought ...
