Hi Everyone Welcome to my tumblr. My name is Katherine (Kat). I'm 24 years old and currently living in Sydney. I am currently donig work within Media Promotion and am heading back to tertiary next year to study event management. I'm a huge outdoot fan and have done various outdoor activities and have sailed between New Zealands north and south island. 5 years ago i worked obn a summer camp in the USA and had the time of my life! I'm Legally Blind and am an avid sports lover and participant. I play goalball at a state levle and am a cyclist and am starting to get into paratriathlons. I love music, beaches, hiking, my friends, restaurants, cycling, running, reading. this blog is dedicated to my ambition to break in triahlon and cycling, watch this space!
Please retweet, if everyone retweets and perhaps even donates then imagine the money we can raise for RIDBC who provide vital services to families who have children who live with a visual or hearing impairment, every little bit helps so lets get the ball rolling!
I almost killed myself yesterday with my training we did
1 hour strength training using TRX's
15km plus bike ride to orientate me with the course
250m+ open swim, my very first and totally not a fan!
Today i have pulled up extremely sore, but as they say no pain, not gain right?
My 5km run this morning got cancelled due to a clash of events using our route, i think the pool is calling instead then........
Great 36 hours, spent 12 of it travelling from sydney to Orange and back, had dinner with the Mayor of Orange and completed the 10km run in between 80-85minutes thanks to the awesome guiding of Kathryn Bennett and thanks Achilles Running Club Sydney for the great company and many laughs
She is my Australian bestie, have known her for 5 and a half years!
She is an avid runner, more advanced than me, which really isn't hard to be!
Last Sunday she joined my achilles club for a Sunday morning run and learnt how to run as my sighted guy and this week has taken up the challenge to be my eyes for the Orange Running Festival and many more runs to come, wish us luck!
Had a fantastic weekend!
500m+ swim, 5km run with Kathryn Bennett and riding with a potential new racing captain.
but now the fun must come to an end and academia take over.
looking forward to running the 10km run in Orange next weekend with the fabulous Kathryn
Decided i'm going to tackle a swim by myself this afternoon lets see how many innocent people i can take out or how many times my head make friends with the end of the pool......
