China World Cup: Paul Tichelaar

Nov 10, 2005

Hello everybody, I have just finished my race at the World Cup Triathlon in Beijing. This is my first trip to China and it has been incredible. It is really neat to see how different things are here than at home. The race was full of the best athletes in the sport of triathlon. Last weekend was World Championships in Japan and many of the athletes who competed there took the 3 hour flight to Beijing to have a look at what will be the 2008 Olympic course. The race site is about 35km north of downtown Beijing in the district of Changping. There is little development here besides a couple of tourist hotels. Of all the races I have ever done, this course is the most scenic and with all the turns and climbs on the course, one of the most fun.

Hello from Kona – 36 hours before race day.
My training and preparation has been excellent. Over the past 12 weeks of training, I have swam at my best, thanks to Brian Kelly, my swim coach, I have biked at my best and I have executed career best runs.

Lisa Bentley:"Hello from the Hilton at Waikoloa Village"

Nov 10, 2005

I am home at last from the North Hawaii Community Hospital sitting amongst lovely flowers and fond wishes for a speedy recovery.

I was raised to use my talents, to finish what I start and to be happy in mind, body and spirit. Triathlon has always allowed me to do that, but over the past few weeks, this has been challenged. As you know, I suffered from abdominal pains for about 12 days prior to the Hawaii Ironman. I always had an explanation for the pain and the pain always improved. But if one day stands out in my mind, it was Tuesday prior to race day. I had been in bed most of Monday, but woke up on Tuesday feeling pretty good.

Oct 11, 2005

Well, I haven't done two World Championships in one year since I was a junior in 2000 where I competed at World Junior Duathlon and Triathlon Champs. Five years later I have found myself doubling up again and I loving it. It is always hard to get physically and mentally ready for a World Championships but that is what I thrive on. I enjoy the challenge of performing at the big events and I see that as one of my strengths.
