This Sunday I will attempt my second IRONMAN triathlon. This involves a 3.8km ocean swim in stunning Palm Cove, a 180km ride from Palm Cove to Cairns, and back again, followed by a 42.2km marathon run. And after not being able to run the full marathon at the Busselton IRONMAN in December, I’ve been keen for redemption. My approach for Cairns IRONMAN has been simple. I thought through the key ingredients for success - develop a strategy, grind, assess and refine - and stuck to them. My strategy was to nail each component of my preparation. First, my training. This meant hitting every training session - morning and night. Second, my nutrition. I focused on preparing good food that’s easy to make, nutritious and tastes great. Third, my recovery. I prioritised sleep, stretching, and managing stress. This meant limiting alcohol… but don’t worry, I ate more than double my weight in dark chocolate. The results have been incredible. I’ve dropped almost 10kg this year, which is a lot less weight to carry for 12+ hours during a race. I have also improved my swim, bike and run times, and I am mentally more focused and stronger than ever. And while triathlon is an “individual sport” it’s really not - because I couldn’t have done this without a lot of support. Support from my coach, colleagues, club, family, friends, and the broader triathlon community. So with this in mind, I want to dedicate my race on Sunday to a special group of people who’ve inspired me. The TRIMOB. They are a powerful group of First Nations people empowering community through triathlon. Their purpose is to “breakdown barriers and create opportunities through culturally safe and strength based approaches that engage First Nations people to participate, compete and represent at all levels in the sport of triathlon”. And I absolutely love this. Check out their video below. If you’d like to follow my race, download the IRONMAN Oceania mobile app, select IRONMAN Cairns, Athletes, and type my name. Click Tracking and watch along from 9am AEST on Sunday 16 June to follow my progress. LET’S GET IT DONE.

It's inspiring to witness athletes like #CameronNorrie leading the charge in addressing climate change, ensuring the sustainability of sports in the face of environmental challenges. Additionally, the transition of sports grounds towards implementing carbon sink practices marks a positive shift, demonstrating proactive efforts to reduce carbon emissions and promote environmental stewardship. Furthermore, there's an exciting opportunity for corporate sponsorship to align with sustainability goals by supporting sporting initiatives that remove CO2e emissions and provide biodiversity gain associated with sports events. This not only benefits the environment but also enhances the reputation of both the corporations and the sports organizations involved, setting a commendable example for other industries to follow suit in combatting climate change.
