Last Sunday, Tonello completed the International Crocodile Trophy Stage Race, a 900km mountain bike event from Cairns to Cooktown. He and race partner Dave Stallan won the adventure racing team category in an event billed as the sport’s toughest race. The 19th edition of the Crocodile Trophy started in Cairns on October 19. There was 15km of elevation as competitors experienced the cruel beauty of Australia’s tropical north. A tough race to be sure, but Isaac said his riding-to-work experience was tougher. “That was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do mentally,” he said. “I’d get up at 4.30am and ride two hours, work a full day and ride another two hours home.

IT IS easy to see why Slovakian Peter Sagan has helped make the sport of professional cycling more fun. Although Sagan finished seventh, at the Noosa Subaru Australian Open Criterium on Saturday, he pulled a post-race wheelie to the delight of cheering fans. The Tour de France green jersey winner’s numerous scars on his body sheds light on his vast talent. It tells a journey of crashes to master the skills such as parking a bike on a roof car with no props. Speaking to Sagan last week, prior to a surf lesson with Jordan Mercer, I point out the scars on his body. “From racing mountain Gun professional cyclist Peter Sagan enjoying Noosa Main Beach.

By LORNA GARDEN Accredited sports dietician
THERE are many reasons why we sometimes feel fatigued and struggle to recover from training sessions. Meeting fuel and fluid needs, recovering well from repeated exercise sessions, getting adequate sleep, and keeping stress levels low are all important for maintaining energy levels on a daily basis. Meeting vitamin and mineral requirements is also important and one of the most common deficiencies affecting active people, is iron deficiency. Symptoms of iron deficiency Iron is an important part of haemoglobin which carries oxygen to cells in the body, and is also needed to make new red blood cells.
