Welcome to the Average Athlete blog

This is the Average Athlete blog — where I share race reports from amateur road racing in South Australia, honest training notes, and no-nonsense takes on gear.

What to expect here

• Race reports — how the day went, what it took, and what I'd do differently next time around.
• Training notes — endurance rides, track sessions, and 100km road race prep that an average athlete can actually sustain week in, week out.
• Gear & aero — honest reviews of equipment worth the money, and the stuff that isn't.

Why a blog?

Racing is as much about the story as the results. A results page tells you who won; the blog tells you how and why — the conditions, the tactics, and the training blocks that come together to make a result meaningful.

We'll be publishing regularly. If there's a topic you'd like to see covered, let me know via the Contact page.
