Bevan Checks In from IM Busselton
Hi guys. Not my day today at Ironman Busselton…
Had a good swim and rode into the overall age group lead, putting minutes into the field very comfortably under AeT1 and low HR. I then hit a bump in the road at the 70km mark and clicked my hip out and pinched a nerve. This stopped me from using my right leg (20-30% max) for the next 70km. I mainly peddaled with one leg and stopped a few times to try to fix it as didn’t want to DNF. I finally got average at around the 140km mark and rode home moderately but conservatively. I was still on an OK time but felt unable to run with the hip. Rather than DNF, I walked home.
Not my day – the age group win and a Kona spot were there for the taking. Off now to get a CT-US and a cortisone shot into the hip.
The Race Shorts and Tri Jersey were fantastic. Thanks for your help and support!
Cheers bevan.

Triathlon Photography Tip #1
Get as close to the action as you can. If you can’t, maybe your camera can. Extend your arm as far as possible into the course, focus manually at a certain distance, point the camera to the action and fire away as the athletes pass by the intended focal point.
Just make sure you hold the camera secure and don’t impede the athletes…
Happy shooting!
