Are there any other CRs heading off to this event?
I see by the website it is sold out already (oversubscribed, to be precise) and I'm not surprised seeing it is the 10th Anniversary race.
It is very early season racing for me, and I'm finding it tricky to get quality training done with the cold, dark and generally horrible weather.
Looking forward to the race (and staying at the Resort) immensely!

Muz - this race was my first ever HIM a couple of years back.
I am not competing but do know a couple of the Balance Crew will be racing.
Enjoy your day, and let me know what you think of the course. I have some not so good memories of the swim
Cheers!

But I'm not too keen on this early-morning winter training. Unlike Paul, I've actually done a bit.

LOL
I was hoping to sneak back into town without someone asking me that, RKCJ.
In short, I had a shocker - with everything that can go wrong in a triathlon going wrong for me on the day.
To sum up, I was lucky to get done in 7 hours, after getting seasick in the swim (a first), getting a flat in transition (a first), strong headwinds and crappy road surface on the bike, back pain also on the bike, and a touch of heatstroke, dehydration and blisters on the run. I only started to come good on the second lap of the run, thanks to the volunteers continually throwing water all over me!
I ran for a while with Paul Every until I stopped to scoff jelly beans, and appreciated the GCR's from Paul's other half, the ever-lovely Diane. They were the highlights of the day, apart from standing in the pool after the race with a very expensive cocktail for a photo op.
Well, you get days like that and now I'm looking to the next one. If you can't do 'em fast, at least do 'em funny!
Thanks for asking, RKCJ.
Me too, now, AK.
Bring on Busso!
