December and November were busy months with athletes racing all over the country, state, and the world! In the coming weeks I will be posting race reports from Adam Rowe on his 130km Ultra in Oman where he conquered over 7,500m of elevation and qualified for Ultra Trail Mont Blanc in Chamonix, France in 2020. This will include some information about how we prepped for this race and some of the challenges we encountered along the way (like having to find elevation in relatively 'flat' Perth...)
Another report will be coming through from Hilton about his comeback from his collarbone injury 4 months prior to racing and winning his age group at Dwellingup Xterra, qualifying him for the Xterra World Championships, while also placing second overall (including the Elite/Open wave) in the event.
I've certainly been a proud coach these past months with all of my athletes racing; some doing their first half Ironman, others getting worlds qualifications, and many athletes performing above and beyond their own expectations.
