Just concluding an excellent weekend of training. Was off training ill for most of last week but had another excellent physio session with Kylie on Friday; always come out of there feeling really good :-D. Work has been pretty mental with the first week of the new term so I put in a few extra hours to get on top of things.
Saturday was a recovery ride - a 170km loop around the Hawkesbury valley starting at Turramurra & taking in: Galston Gorge, Maroota, Wisemans Ferry, Gunderman, Spencer, Mangrove Creek, Peats Ridge to Calga along part of the ATTA time trial route, then returning along the Old Highway (Mt. White, Brooklyn, Pie in the Sky) and back to Turramurra via Hornsby.
Its a beautiful ride, it was a perfect day, Ursula was running smooth and we had a great crew (10 of us). Click here for pics and maps! Thanks to Walter Stanish for 2 of the images.
Stats were as follows: Distance 170km, Average 27 kph, Total Time 7h, Total Dist Climbed 2000m, Time in Re: 2h10, Time in E1 3h05, Time above E1 17 min (oops!), Average HR 118 (right between Re and E1 as it was supposed to be :-D).
On Sunday I ran 16km over to Manly for the Cole Classic.
Met up with my mates Mick, Tony and Piers for the 2km Classic Challenge. Good results all round for the 4 of us:
Michael hasn't been training much but cruised home in the 20-24 wave with a 20 second lead (although he is a bit of a swim freak and won the whole event in 2002). I'd only talked Piers and Tony into it the night before and they both had awesome races. I was really happy with my swim but somehow managed to end up in the 13-15 Category with an extra 5 min on my time!!! LOL. Interestingly enough I wouldn't have made the top 10, not even in the 13-15 girls!!! Click here for results
Sydney is an amazing place to train! Bring on some more :-D

The Little Differences
Its often the little things that are different here in Australia; a few weeks ago I was doing a swim coaching course and discovered that the innocent child's song, "The Hokey-Cokey" somehow transforms itself into the "the Hokey-Pokey" somewhere over the equator!
Some quick research on Google revealed that something we use to teach co-ordination and "left / right" to young kids was actually invented by Protestants who were ridiculing the Roman Catholic tradition.
HILARIOUS!!!
If you have too much time on your hands you might like to check out a couple of sites that clarify (???) the situation.
The original Google search
... a very informative article...
...explains connection with hocus pocus...
... apparently American GI's were to blame!
... gets a little rude!
... another perspective...
ABSOLUTELY PRICELESS!
Thanks to my new friend Lydia for pointing out the difference after she read my blog!

Aust Swim Teaching Course
Last weekend I went along to Ravenswood School in Gordon to complete the 2nd part of this course. 0830 to 1730 on each day proved too much for some, especially on the Sunday, with a few taking impromptu 'power naps' during the theory sessions. You know who you are! Anyhow, it was really useful to get some ideas to use for teaching kids to swim. I learnt a whole load of fun games and now I also know the words to the 'Hokey Cokey'! The course was packed full of information about water safety: did you know that 80% of the 270 people who drowned in Australia last year were male and heaps of them were washed into the sea from rocks?
Our facilitators Sonya, Melissa, and Karina were really enthusiastic and did a great job of getting us through all of the mateial we know in order to pass our exam and become qualified swim teachers. Click the link to see photos and a video of some of the pool activites we did which were really good fun. I thought that there should have been more emphasis on some of the personal qualities that makes a good swim teacher such as being a really positive person who loves swimming & teaching it and how to build a good rapport with kids. Perhaps this is something that is a pre-requisite for being Australian and that's why it doesn't need to be covered! In any case, all of the people on the course seemed like they would make great swim teachers anyway! GO YOU GOOD THINGS :-D
I'm a Total Immersion coach. We run weekend workshops with a 100% focus on freestyle technique where we use underwater video footage and teach a clever sequence of progressive drills to transform the swimmer's stroke into a more efficient one. Last workshop there was a guy called Steve who improved from 22 strokes for 25m at the start of the workshop to 10 strokes at the end. AWESOME! It was good for me to see that some of the key TI concepts are present in the Austswim way of teaching, but I felt that the concept of 'balance in the water' should be introduced at an early stage in the teaching progression and emphasised throughout as it is probably the single most important consideration for efficient swimming.
I had a very constructive discussion about 'principles of movement' with Melissa Rickwood and she asked me to demonstrate one of the TI drills we use to teach swimmers how to 'lean on their lung' and 'hide their head' in order to swim downhill (ie in balance) rather that uphill (head out of water and legs sinking). On the TI workshops we have a teaching ratio of 1:6 or better and we give very specific feedback to our participants. Next summer I'm going to organise a Total Immersion Swimming Camp For Kids and I'm looking forward to implementing some of the Austswim ideas.
In the meantime, all you soon-to-be swim teachers should definitely sign in and leave me a message on this blog. Its really easy and it would be great to hear how you are all going with your swim teaching! ;-D

Why ... is Dunstan ... lucky?
Click here for photos: WARNING - NOT FOR THE FAINT HEARTED!
The Stack...
On Monday Eve I rode up to Pennant Hills to get things at work ready for the painters to do their thing. I was riding across the Sydney Harbour bridge towards the city on the cycleway from N. Sydney; past the middle and heading downhill with a tailwind so probably doing about 40-45 kph. A girl was coming the other way on her MTB and we were reaching an extra narrow section so I moved over to the left to give her plenty of space. Just as we crossed I hit a bit of metal that was sticking out from the pipes on the handrail. The first I knew was I heard a metallic 'clunk' (actually the sound of my brake lever hitting the bit of metal) and then I was flying through the air in a 'Superman' position.
The Aftermath...
I came to a rest after sliding about 10m and dead opposite where the security guard was. My initial thought was to get back on my bike and ride on to avoid embarassment but I quickly realised that wouldn't be a good idea. The guard helped me off the cycleway and Wendy (the girl on the MTB) cleared my bike out of the way - I later discovered that I'd clipped her as I came off but fortunately only lightly so she wasn't hurt. We were soon joined by another security guard and they called an ambulance. I knew that I had a big hole in my elbow and suspected I had broken my forearm. At this stage I was sitting on an old tin of paint with my back against a wall. I began to have some really lucid thoughts and then everything faded to white (why do they call it 'blacking out'?) for what must have been a couple of seconds. Then the security guard brought me round and helped me to lie down. The 4 of us were soon joined by Elaine - she had been leading a Bridge Climb group and had seen me sliding along the path! Elaine covered me up with her jacket to keep me warm and she, Wendy, Sam and Paul (the security guards) were great company; even agreeing to a few photos! I called Ali, Hani and Jane and they co-ordinated arrangements to pick up my bike.
The Hospital ...
Once the paramedics (Nathan and Kylie) arrived they put my arm into a sling and helped me to my feet. I felt a lot better by this stage and was able to walk down the stairs unaided - getting a round of applause from Elaine's boiler-suit clad group on the way past. The rest is less interesting: lots of waiting around in the hospital, Some X-rays, a clean up for my wounds and some more waiting. Al, Hani and Trudi came to see me in the hospital and brought me a heap of goodies :-) The 4 of us had been planning to go to a Tango class in Broadway and I was really grateful to them for cheerfully downgrading their evening to come and keep me company. Great news when I got the all clear as far as broken bones - so relieved!!! By the time it came to the stitches Hani was the only one who didn't feel squeamish (good job being as she's a vet!)
I must have been feeling the benefits of a whole load of adrenalin and endorphins 'cause it actually didn't hurt too much, even though I had persuaded Mike (the doc) not to use anaesthetic, much to everyone's bemusement! Good choice - I certainly felt alive and anyway, I knew I'd need a good cold beer once I got out of the hospital!
4 stitches and a few dressings later I was discharged.
Why am I lucky?
1. I met some amazing people who really went out of their way to look after me and check I was ok. Thanks Elaine, Paul, Sam & Wendy.
2. My friends and all of my housemates were great - its nice to feel truly cared for.
3. Because it happened during a maintainence phase of my training and not before a big race.
4. Not to have broken anything! A cast would need 6 weeks and my serious training starts in 3.
5. That I didn't bang my head!
6. My bike isn't as bad as it could have been.
7. I managed to stay in control mentally. That's gotta be a good life experience!
8. I ended up wih a great story and some cool pics for you, the blog-reader, to check out!

Forster Half-Ironman '04 Race Report
I had a pretty good race - my dumb goggles filled up with water in both eyes (despite a perfect seal during my warm-up swim) about 100m into the swim so I discarded them and felt my way around the rest of the course as best I could! It is good to know that I can get through a swim like that without goggles, without too much stress and all importantly without losing my contact lenses! I Swam well for my current ablility and clocked just under 29 min. My investment in Total Immersion swimming is definitely starting to pay me some good speed dividends!
My bike leg was strong - I caught and passed heaps of people but couldn't manage to get away. At the first (24km) turnaround I saw the race leader and eventual winner, Jason Shortis out on his own (phenomenal rider) then a 'chase' bunch of 10, then a small group of 3, including my swim coach Steve Croft and training partner Paul Morris. I also realised that there were about 40+ people right behind me, despite my best efforts to break clear on the hills. After 35km I used an aid station and a sharp pinch to get away from the bunch. Determined to stay clear, I was able to bridge the gap to the group of 3 within about 10km :-)
Crofty was riding strong - we worked well together but stayed legal, again determined that we wouldn't be swallowed up by the big bunch. At the end of the ride we were still a couple of minutes clear. My plan for the run was to settle in for the first 5km and then see what I could do. Well as it happened I didn't find my running legs until 14km in and managed to finish 15th overall and 3rd in my age group (the other 2 both made it into the chase bunch).
All in all it was a pretty hard day; especially knowing that I was too far away to run anyone down + trying to hold off the faster runners behind me when I had nothing left in my legs. I learnt a lot from the race - It was the most tactical triathlon I've ever raced and I really enjoyed that aspect. One of my main aims now is to work another couple of minutes off my swim so that I'm not forced to play catchup from the start of the bike leg!

When ... is Dunstan ... racing next?
This weekend is the Forster Half-Ironman .
This will be my 3rd 1/2 IM this season. Yeppoon was a real breakthrough race for me back in mid-August, I won the 25-29 age group and was 5th overall. Gold Coast was at the start of October, I won my age group again and was 7th fastest on the day.
At Half-Ironman and Ironman distance triathlon competitors are either Professionals who race for money (regardless of age) or 'age groupers' (like me). So far this season I've only been beaten by 3 age-group athletes; I'd like to keep it that way and am aiming to win the Michael Atkins Memorial Trophy this weekend for the fastest athlete outside of the Professional category.
My coach Mark has kindly lent me a full-carbon Trek with full Dura-Ace for the race. Its a bit lighter than my trusty old Cannondale and feels a bit more responsive on climbs too!

What ... is Dunstan ... taking to stay fit and healthy?
Right now I'm fitter than I've ever been in my life. The training that I'm doing overloads my body, which then repairs itself to be stronger than it was before. Three things that accelerate this repair process are stretching, sleeping and sound nutrition.
I'm just about to start a 60 day trial of a nutritional supplement called 'Lifepack'. The twice-daily tablets contain vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients. Carotenoids are one type of phytonutrient which occur naturally in fruit and vegetables and help the body to fight the effects of free-radicals.
The cool part is that they have recently developed a laser test which measures the amount of carotenoid that is stored in your skin. My skin carotenoid was measured at 42 000 during a normal day. There are 4 bands, 10 000, 20 000, 30 000 and 40 000+ so that was a 'good' score.
I'm told that the carotenoid component of the supplement will build up my body's reserves so that the free radicals released during intensive training sessions and racing will be better absorbed and cause less damage to my body.
I'm pretty excited to see what effect the 'Lifepack' will have on me but I'm going to be as objective as I can be. I'm going to have my blood vitamin levels tested before and after and also Iridology - where a photo of your iris is taken to reveal information about your health. The whole thing should be a really interesting learning experience.

How ... is Dunstan ... enjoying the Sydney weather?
The spring weather in Sydney has been pretty chaotic during the last fortnight. Last week there were a couple of days where the the wind blew from the NW and brought 38 degree heat from inland. Last week it was mostly rain and drizzle; which is unusual cause it normally seems to hose down for a couple of hours and then fine up again!
I'm not complaining though, the winter felt cold but it was really dry - generally pretty good for training on the bike, although not that many people were out on the roads!
ROLL ON SUMMERTIME IN SYDNEY!!! ;-D
Check out the Australian Bureau of Meterology website if you want to know more!

HOW OFTEN ... is Dunstan ... training?
Thanks Haggis for the question!
Those of you who knew me well back in the UK will have been aware of my adddiction to physical activity. I took up triathlon in 2000 with the Cambridge Tri Club , and used to ride my bike to and from work when I was teaching at Saffron Walden as part of my training.
Well since I arrived over here in Sydney the quality of of my training and racing have risen to a new level. Over the next month I'll be completing 13 training session per week, a total of over 20 hours per week. Most of the training is 'base conditioning' at this stage - maintaining a low intensity over a long distance. My weekly totals will be up to 450km on the bike, up to 62km for running and up to about 15km in the water.
With these mileages recovery is obviously really important, as is the correct timing of all of those sessions to allow my body to rebuild itself stronger and faster. I've been training as part of the Human Endurance Racing Team (HERT for short) for about 10 months now. A wealth of knowledge, experience and support from my coach Mark Newton and my training partners in the squad has made it possible for me to 'step up'.
I'm loving the challenge and want to see how far I can go in the next 4 years

WHERE ... is Dunstan ... working?
I work for a company called Numberworks which provides after-school maths tuition for pupils.
Check out www.numberworks.com
I'm the manager of the Pennant Hills Numberworks centre which is close to Hornsby, towards the North of Sydney.
Its a 40 minute train journey to work so I take Nemone (my iBook) and catch up on my emails etc. I work from 2pm til 8pm so that means I have plenty of time in the morning to do my training.
Our pupils range in age from Kindergarten to Year 12 (up to 18 years old). They work on our computer maths programs under the guidance of one of our tutors for an hour per week. When I arrive I catch up on paperwork and get everything ready for the first pupils, who arrive at 4pm.

WHERE ... is Dunstan ... living?
Right in the heart of Sydney. I've never lived in a big city before but I love it here!
I'm sharing a place with 3 flatmates. It's really close to the CBD (central business district), close to Centennial park where I do a lot of my triathlon training, and really handy for catching a train to work.
