Prue Oswin: April 2008
http://prueoswin.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
What I've been up to, where I've been and what's coming up. Monday, April 07, 2008. Port Macquarie Ironman 2008-04-07. 4th Female, 10:00:02. It wasn’t a good swim. I knew as I approached the chute that I’d had a longer than usual experience in the Port Macquarie Water. I’d got a bit scared in the churn, there had been a current. I hadn’t been going to swim squad. I had chasing to do in this race. That bad swim, had to be made up with by my legs. The race leaders were out in front and getting furt...I jus...

Prue Oswin: July 2007
http://prueoswin.blogspot.com/2007_07_01_archive.html
What I've been up to, where I've been and what's coming up. Sunday, July 15, 2007. Noosa Enduro - July 15th 2007. 100km Mountain Bike Race (almost 6 hours for me). Http:/ www.usmevents.com.au/enduro/gallery.html. Links to this post. Saturday, July 07, 2007. Finally, after running the Gold Coast Marathon earlier this week, I can testify from personal experience that they aid recovery. Some of the aching in my legs was removed immediately when I put them on to sleep that night. I can't explain why ...I'm n...

Prue Oswin: September 2008
http://prueoswin.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
What I've been up to, where I've been and what's coming up. Tuesday, September 09, 2008. 7th Female, 10hrs17mins. I probably should have been concentrating harder on navigating my way around the buoys in Monona Lake and trying to find some other swimmers but at some stage my mind drifted and I started thinking about walruses. If there was a walrus in this lake, it would be laughing at me now and I have no right to complain, I laugh at them. Have you seen a walrus move on land? I like the Ironman Wisconsi...

What I've been up to, where I've been and what's coming up. Monday, October 13, 2008. I battled the headwind into town feeling really tired and attaching my focus to one happy thought, sitting down in the transition tent. All I knew was I was going to get to that chair and I was going to enjoy it. I didn't think about the marathon, only the chair. 160;I thought of my favourite placard held up by a specator at Wisconsin Ironman "If it was easy, I would be doing it." . Sunshine Coast Tri Club.

What I've been up to, where I've been and what's coming up. Friday, July 04, 2008. INSOMNIA 24 HOUR MOUNTAIN BIKE RACE. Http:/ www.geocentricoutdoors.com.au/insomnia/index.htm. June 2008 - 1st Place Solo Female. It was a joke but really I think it was the joke that got me through in the end. It was my first real experience of talking myself up and then being in the unenviable position of having to deliver. Of the good day I had, to that positive mindset. I quite enjoyed riding the slowest lap ever on my ...

What I've been up to, where I've been and what's coming up. Monday, May 12, 2008. MATRIX - 6 HR MOUNTAIN BIKE RACE. First Place Solo Women. I was looking forward to this race. Six hours might sound like a long time but after doing a 12 hour race and attempting a 24, 6 hours seemed like a sensible amount of time to spend on a bike. Break it into three 2 hour blocks, nutritionally, mentally and physically: it all adds up to a nice day in the forest. 8221; i said. I think the race was a bit of an equalizer ...

Prue Oswin: November 2006
http://prueoswin.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html
What I've been up to, where I've been and what's coming up. Thursday, November 02, 2006. It was an unusual build up to a race. I flew to Hawaii the Sunday before and just after landing, our upbeat, American pilot mentioned something about the airport power being out. We were stuck in our plane for two more hours and gradually the story became more dramatic. There was a major earthquake off the coast of Kona and all power to the main island was down. Not many memories from the actual run, my mind shuts do...

What I've been up to, where I've been and what's coming up. Thursday, October 09, 2008. Merida Mexico to Kona Hawaii. Our bus left Merida at 11pm, it got us to Cancun by 3am and from there we made it to the airport. We arrived there at 4am. It might seem strange to some that in Mexico they request that international traveller's arrive 3 hours before their flights whilst the airline staff (who check you in) arrive two hours before the flight. We had a...From Cancun we flew to Houston, from Houston we f...
