Life on the Gold Coast as a Triathlete

I say triathlete loosely, as there's not much swimming happening at the moment. The Gold Coast is a city based on Kombumerri Country; the cityscape is truly modern and sprawling, the beach is absolutely enormous, and the Hinterland takes your bloody breath away.

I come up to the Gold Coast because my partner grew up here, and I found beauty in the place as I was starting to push my boundaries with intense training blocks whilst working remotely. This is definitely somewhere that athletes can come to train hard or to recover on the beach... or both!

It's no secret that I love riding up hills and in this video, you'll see there's plenty of them! Beechmont and Mount Tamborine were two of the enormous hills featured in my long ride, and as I prepare for the Gold Coast Marathon, I'm running along the Coastal path down to Burleigh Heads. Sarah chose to join me on the excursion this time on the bike!
