Follow the race...

So we are a few days closer to leaving....

Andreas is busy trying to make sure things are taken care of at work, while Ginny is taking care of Foxie getting to the kennel, ensuring our mail will be picked up, getting currency converted, confirming and making reservations, and finding more stuff for us to do.

Andreas is also doing some final workouts and getting all of his triathlon gear ready. The bike is tuned up, the wetsuit has a new zipper, the new running shoes are being broken in, I have two sets of goggles, and the bike will be put into it's travel case tomorrow.

For those of you interested in tracking my progress throughout the race go to the web site below.

The race begins at 7am Australia time on March 28. That would be approximately 4 pm EST on March 27.

According to the race organization there are 1,522 participants. 1,412 are from Australia, 110 are from other countries. 85% of the participants are male. And this is the 25th Anniversary of IM Australia. It should be a lot of fun.

Until next time...

  1. 4pm Eastern, that's 5:30pm here. I perfect time for me to get a dozen beer, and camp out in front of my laptop.

    You better finish in under 10 though, or I'll passout before you cross!

    Best of luck.
