Aussie Giveaway - Tryingatri's first.

Did you miss me? This has probably been the longest I have gone without writing a post. I don't really know why, other than I got caught up doing a million and one other things. I totally missed Monday's training session altogether as the weather was just ridiculous and I used it as a rest day and nursing my other child who had tonsillitis. But, I am now pleased to say that there is no-one left in my house who is sick and I finally got a child free day today and took full advantage of it and went for a 2 hour ride and a 15min run off the bike. I can't even begin to explain how good it felt to just get out and ride or do anything for that matter without thinking about how quickly I had to get back to give meds or come to terms with the fact that I was to have another day of no training.

SO whilst I was out riding doing my "Thaing", I was thinking about all the wonderful emails I had received in the last 48hrs or so. Some had to do with saying thanks for my photos that I took at the Nepean Triathlon, others had to do with more writing opportunities in regards to getting our club recognised, and another had to do with interest in regards to our Aquabike event - the first ever Aquabike event held here in Australia by Panthers Tri Club.

This email was definately something to write home about. You see, this email came from a lady in South Australia enquiring about Aquabiking. How exciting is that!!!! I was so intrigued about how she had heard from another state about our Aquabike event. So I emailed her and she has replied that she found out through Google Australia after typing in "Aquabike Australia". I can't even begin to explain the enormity of it all. This could, if all goes well - fingers crossed - Nationwide. I will keep you all updated in it's progress.

So now onto Tryingatri's first ever giveaway. Are you excited????? I am. I wanted this giveaway to be totally Tri related but it seems going "Aussie" is how it has panned out. It has a little bit of everything. So I hope you like. I will quickly explain each little prize and it's significance.

• 2 sets of earrings by Kurtaiky. My daughter made these in Aussie colours. I love them, not only cause they are made by my Taillah, but because they are just cool.
• Aussie swim cap - so everytime you wear it, you are reminded of ME.
• Panthers Cycle Drink Bottle - because these guys rock. I love my local bike shop guys. They are always helping me out - no matter what. Dave said to say "there's a message in the bottle"
  
• x 2 Panthers Cycles stickers.
• Australia headband. So when your sweatin', it'll be the Aussie band that wipes your brow.
• Australian towel. Every Triathlete needs a towel, this one will definately stand out in the crowd.
• x2 "Hands off my bag" tags. Make sure no-one touches your precious Tri goodies.
• Paw Paw ointment. I swear by this stuff for dry lips, boils, scratches - and i am thinking it would help in the chaffed nipples dept for you blokes.
• Aussie thongs in a Size 8. No Aussie is complete without a pair of thongs.
• Penrith Valley Nepean Triathlon Swim Cap. This is my one that I wore just the Sunday gone. Think of me when you wear it.
• A small satchet of Chamois Butt'r. I do believe this is an American brand but this Aussie Gal loves it. So, I thought I would share its wonder.
• A little book of inspiration - whenever you feel a bit low, close your eyes and open up to any page for some guidance. I love this book.
• Any Aussie bag to carry all your goodies in around transition.
• Not shown (Panthers Tri Club sticker). Of course i would add something of my Tri club here. Panthers Tri Club Rocks.
