25.01.2022 Age is no barrier
22.01.2022 **IRONMAN Cairns and IRONMAN 70.3 Cairns Event Update** With 11 weeks to go until the Cairns Airport IRONMAN Asia-Pacific Championship Cairns and IRONMAN 70.3 C...airns, we wanted to give you an update on the status of the event. We have been working closely with all local stakeholders, health, and government officials to determine if we are able to proceed with the event in September as planned. We are pleased to advise today that we are full steam ahead with the planning and delivery of IRONMAN Cairns and IRONMAN 70.3 Cairns on 27 September 2020. Current Queensland Government restrictions mean that with an approved COVID Safe Event Plan, events between 500 - 10,000 can take place. More information about our IRONMAN Cairns COVID Safe Event plan and how it relates to your experience will be shared over the coming weeks, but for now, you can read more about IRONMAN’s Return to Racing guidelines here: https://www.ironman.com/return-guidelines We know right now that change is constant. We also understand that some of you may feel nervous about travelling, or currently be prevented from travelling to Queensland due to border restrictions. With this in mind, the following policies will apply to IRONMAN Cairns and IRONMAN 70.3 Cairns 2020. What if I am unable to get to the 2020 event due to border restrictions? If this remains the case less than 30 days out from the event, affected Athletes will be offered a Free Deferral to the 2021 event or an Event Credit to the value of your entry (including additional purchases). What if the event does not take place on 27 September 2020, for reasons relating to the Covid-19 Pandemic? If this happens all registered athletes will have their race registration moved to the 2021 event date. We will provide as much notice as we can, and if this doesn’t work for you we will provide other options such as an Event Credit, which can be used on any of the IRONMAN Group’s portfolio of events in Australia. If you have any questions or concerns please email our team at [email protected] Our team can’t wait to welcome you to the stunning Tropical North Queensland soon!
12.01.2022 When we think of the best athletes, I guess we think of youngish people. Those in their 20’s and early 30’s. Certain sports though favour the older athlete and ...they tend to be endurance based. Simply more time building the engine means the engine gets more powerful. That is assuming you can stay injury-free and stay motivated. For the amateur like you and me though, there is another very good reason why being older can mean faster BUT you will only know this if you trained/raced in your 20’s. I did. And one of the absolute biggest challenges was social. I went out way more then than I do now. I was in pursuit of a mate (got one now, if you were hoping to seduce me!) And that meant that whilst my training and racing was very important, I didn’t have the correct environment to flourish. I was out at the weekends - trying not to drink too much but often failing. I was living in shared flats, so couldn’t set up a training space at home. I shared kitchens. I also had no money. And way less experience. Fixing all of the above which just tends to happen as we age makes for a far more stable life. And that stability allows us to really focus on our training because hopefully, we are happy with the rest. Combine that with knowledge and you really can flourish from your 40’s onward.
