Xena downunder for Xmas

Team TBB's Caroline 'Xena' Steffen has had an amazing year, with four 70.3 titles, the ITU Long Distance World Champion title, and runner up at IM Kona. She didn't feature on many previews of the big contenders for the IM World Champion title, but we think that might change in 2011.

Xena will be escaping the winter to do some hard training in Australia, but for now, all she wants for Christmas is a new P4 and some swiss chocolate... Wouldn't we all!

Are you Santa or the Grinch? Love Xmas or hate it?
Definitely Santa, love Christmas since I live in AUS and can spend the x-mas days on the beach.

Where are you spending Xmas this year?
In AUS together with my partner Dave and his family. But I also spend some days before Christmas in the snowy Swiss mountains.

Who will you spend it with?
Dave

How do you spend the day? Travelling around or bunkered down at home?
A bit of both.

What’s on your Gift Wish list this year?
A new P4 and some Swiss chocolate

Best present you ever got? (Aside from your blueseventy wetsuit of course)
My little iPod - never leave the house without it

Worst present you have ever got? It’s socks isn’t it….

Not really, is also a problem for me!
