Back in Oz getting my shit together

Hello all and a big I'm sorry for the long delay in posting an update.
I have been in Australia for a couple of weeks now and am in the process of settling in to life in the tropical far north of my country.After securing work and a new place to live I am now going about the business of getting my life in order before deciding on what my plans are for the next year.I have a large debt to pay off here but that should be taken care of in a couple or three months.From there it is trying to figure out a strategy to promote Athletes in Kind in Nth America next year.After 2008 I will not be training as a triathlete anymore but will lean toward the adventure cycling side of life.That is not to say I will never compete in tri's again it's just that there will be no huge amounts of time and money spent on preparing for them.The sport has changed too much and most of the fun has gone for me.
I do have to recover from my injuries though and as it stands right now I'm not able to do too much more than some very short runs and rides.My neck and shoulder are still injured and I am having trouble sleeping due to recurring headaches.I have a limited range of motion in my neck and there is a constant cracking in my neck when I turn it to the right.There is considerable deep tissue injuries through my neck and shoulder which wasn't helped by cracking my head open inside the cargo bay of a 727 at work at the airport the other day.I have a new scar forming but the impact has made my neck pain flare up again.Such is life and I have no doubt that I will be back in shape next year.
I will give you all weekly updates on my life here in Cairns and will start documenting my training in the next installment in the coming week.I plan to race the Double Iron Worlds,Ultraman Canada and possibly one other race next year.After that I will continue my travels south from Penticton to Southern Argentina in Stage one of what will be my Ride Around the World.
Thanks again to those who have shown thier continued support of myself and Athletes in Kind.I would like to be able to present them with a $10,000 check by Ultraman Canada next year so it looks like I'm in for the long haul.Stay tuned to see what happens.
