Training in Switzerland

I am currently training in Leysin, Switzerland. It is beautiful out here right now(well it is beautiful anytime of the year) snow on the mountains and quite alot of snow in the town at the moment, which is making the skiiers happy as they had very little snow up until 1st Jan!

I'm looking forward to 2007, my main aim is to keep improving and get closer to the best in the world, so as in a few more years I can challenge the best in Hawaii. For those of you who follow my results, this basically means a bit more power on the bike and keep getting my marathon off the bike, faster and faster.

I read in 220 magazine a few weeks ago that there is quite alot of doubt over a Brit ever winning in Hawaii! Well I can tell you, we already have 1 athlete who in 2007 is going to be challenging for the win, no other than my girlfriend Bella Comerford, other than that I can only talk for myself and I would put good money on Stephen Bayliss getting a podium in Hawaii in 3years!!

So why so confident? Well I know how hard I can work, I also know that being the best in the world is more of a choice than luck or destiny. I am chosing to work seriously hard, harder than the rest, and I put no limits on what any human body can achieve.

I hope to have great 2007 season starting in Feb with IM Malaysia, but my main aim is train, train, and train some more, until I get there:)

Happy New Year and I wish you all a succesfull 2007
