Energy Link Coaching update - October 2014
Hi Team,
There has been plenty going on with the season well upon us. Huge congratulations to Ironman legend Beryl Wilson on her Ironman World Championships result. Beryl’s preparation was tough this year due to having a bug in her system that really knocked her around. It was another tough day of racing in Kona with the famously windy bike leg and a hot run! Congratulations Beryl … you are amazing!
For those heading up to Port Macquarie 70.3 or to the Yarrawonga multisport festival this weekend, we hope you feel strong and race well!
To everyone racing - We really love to get your race snapshots and to here about your race so please don’t forget to send them through anytime!
