Brisbane, my Brisbane

Karla and I are loving it in our new city. Brisbane really is a Triathletes buffet. Located in the southeast of Queensland there is so much to this place we call home. So many choices, so many groups to train with, over 500km of cycle and running paths, and of course there is the AMAZING weather.This climate allows for outdoor swimming all year round and races covering all distances throughout the year.


Not too many places that have a beach on one side of the river looking across to the city. It's free and is surrounded by cafes and restaurants with paths to walk, run and ride on. A beautiful place.

The 'Story Bridge' is just down the road from our apartment complex and is one of the gateways to our running and cycling ad ventures. The boats that adorn the river are the 'rivercats' and are one of the many fantastic public transpot systems linking the suburbs to the city.

The flower covered arches are located in Southbank and make for a relaxed running experience.Not only is the city a great place but the surrounding areas are all very accessible and offer various terrains to train on. Mount Mee is a favourite of ours with a 6km climb and wonderful views of the city and the ocean. I love this place.
