Australia Day

Jon reckons you can't top his Australia Day.
He: competed in a triathlon (his first in 8 years) and survived....had a barby for breaky.....visited with family.....surveyed his new block of land.....drank a freshly ground coffee.....cuddled his wife and son. Sounds alright to me too!
Here's the proof:

Sussing out the course. Which one do you think took the wrong turn in the ride?

Kirsty's Dad (@ 60) competes in his first tri. He led for much of the way:)

Jon finishes the swim leg...on his own

Blitzes the ride

Takes all 3 cups of water during the run

Super competitive as you can see...there's 1.5km to go at this stage

The pace of the action was a little too much for a 4.8month old to keep up with

Hooray! Finished!

Recovery session

More recovering

Showing off my latest trick

Little j is a delight. Sorry the vids are so dark tho.

HNY 2011

We spent a few days at Kirsty's parent's place at the lake over new years. Had a lovely Litzow family Christmas which included highlights of time spent with family, Jacob's first swim, sunshine, a deeper than normal lake and yummy waffles.

My little brother Nat and his baby boy Bas join us for j's first swim

The post-swim recovery session

I love the attention and the warmer water

Celebrating a new year with a carnival walk to wish everyone a HNY!

Andie and Gran enjoy the walk together

j loves his presents...thanks everyone
