It is all about stepping up to the start line ” excusitis. ” and “startlineitus ” is another form of the two wolves fighting story …….. which one wins ?…….. The one that you feed most.

So see you at the start line

So apt in my life right now. I have a chronic case of excusitis. Never really managed to get to the bottom of it. But I’m stepping up to the plate, looking forward to meeting you at the GC marathon if not before. xx

Yes that is so true, you do get great athletes but they do not get to compete at national level for financial or family reasons. Does it mean the the quality of qualifiers goes down, as spots get handed down to just make up the numbers, it has to, is it good for the sport, hard call, but for me I think there should be a qualifying point it’s ridiculous to have a have an Olympic distance Championship event and have competitors who take 4 hours to around it.
Good luck with having a good season and getting over your shin splint difficulties

Well I can tell you that my local tri happens to be a national qualifier and has 10 spots per age group for the Olympic and for the sprint. And it’s roll down so even if you’re not in the top ten, you can still get in since most people can’t afford to travel to Nationals. The top ten in the the Oly AG’s are all pretty darn good triathletes but the top ten of each AG in the sprint are not. I have qualified in the sprint both times I’ve done it. I’m not bad but I’m no National Champion…

Do I think it should be like that? Well that’s a tough one. Kona has plenty of people who get in without even qualifying. If they can do that at Kona, then I guess Worlds is the same thing.

Yes a decent health food store should have them ,you can get either white, black or a mixed supply.
You can get them on line, this is an Ozzy supplier I met at a trade show in Brisbane http://www.chia4life.com.au/stockists/ As much as I think John is doing a great job at $26.50 per kilo delivered in Australia it is a bit expensive. I have ordered from him and it was delivered promptly.
I can source them between $17-$21 per kilo reasonably local to me ,though I can not be sure if they have been imported they are not irradiated.
As for the coconut I buy fresh and wizz it up in the processor and mix it into the avo, or I have used tinned coconut cream,but you have to serve it up in a container as it gets a bit runny. I find you have to either make enough base for a pie dish and layer the topping in and put it into the freezer and serve as slices or use a plastic cup or small container put the base in, tamp it down, pour the topping in and eat it with a spoon. I like experimenting, even the failures go down ok

oh, and where can you find chia seeds? I checked in coles but couldn’t find any, so am guessing I will need to go somewhere like a ‘healthy life shop’.

Kerri, you now have an excuse to buy another one!
I was given my first dehydrator from a friend, which did me until I could buy my own. My first is now being used by another friend.
My kids love most of what comes out of it also (especially if it is fruit leather/rollups) and I need to put restrictions on how much they can have and when (especially the dried plums and apple chips).
That topping sounds yum. Is the coconut a shredded/dessicated coconut?

It will most likely turn into one of your great Kiwi yarns that give me a smile. I have to admit at never being successful with any fruit roll ups, hope ya Mum makes some for you. I got a food processor for Chrissy from my Mum and have been playing with wickedly over the top fatty seed and nut based bases and making avocado, lime and coconut whipped toppings OOOHH yummo

I gave my mum my dehydrator to use to show how simple it is to use what veges/fruit etc we’ve already got to make delicious snacks, you can make your own fruit rollups too… this is one of my coolest appliances and now she won’t give it back lol! Great recipe mate will definately try… thanks!
