One intrepid biker, 1400 Tibetan kilometres
The next time you're out training, spare a thought for Brad Davies. This guy has redefined what it means to go for a tough ride! A former triathlete turned adventurer, Brad made his way solo over 1,400 kilometres through some of the world's most remote areas from Lhasa to the foot of Mount Everest Base Camp, spending three weeks armed with some gear, a map and compass and a self-proclaimed "fairly good" sense of direction.

Mitch Anderson fires up post Busso!
Mitch Anderson had another really solid effort at this weekend's Half Ironman in Bussleton, W.A. But he wasn't all smiles post-race when we caught up with him, taking aim at some of his fellow competitors after some dubious riding tactics. Mitch, known as one of the fastest guys in the world on two wheels, gives us an insight into just what happened at the pointy end of the field and applies the blowtorch to drafting once more to highlight how some athletes just don't get it.

Charlotte Paul post Busso Half Ironman
Charlotte Paul means business. After winning her first Ironman in Western Australia last season, there's a lot on the Paul agenda. First on her 'To Do' list is the Quelle Roth Challenge in July. Charlotte was in Busselton this weekend, the scene of her most successful day of racing, to tune up and test her legs before the build to Roth. She came in a very respectable third and seemed happy with her day of racing. And while her trade mark blistering run leg wasn't unveiled on the roads of 'Busso', she showed enough to suggest competitors should take note. We caught up with her just after her race for a chat.

Courtney Atkinson
LISTEN TO FOTB.COM'S CHAT WITH COURTNEYCourtney Atkinson is one cool, calm and collected triathlete. The hard man from Queensland is quietly getting himself ready for his first tilt at Olympic glory. The past two years have been a revelation for Atkinson. A redirected focus on ITU racing and Olympic selection has seen a transformation in both his self belief and his results. Add to that the disappointment of narrowly missing selection and the energy required for another campaign and you start to get an idea of what drives Courtney. Training alone and going underground pre Olympics will only add to the mystic surrounding one of Australia's best medal chances.
