Hi Guys

 

Update on the roads

 

All completed barring road markings , roads are very smooth

Please be careful after passing La Mercy Bridge there is a slight dip on both North and sound bound once joining the road !

Weeks are no more...now only days.

 

Only hope my muscle memory hasn't developed Alzheimers!

Good for you. Have done about 30 hours training since IMSA. And about 6kgs heavier.

Can the sea get 1.3 degrees warmer in one week? Weather conditions look great - although im not sure about the wind

Looking forward to a non-wetsuit swim myself.

 

Please tell me you race the entire thing in a speedo in a tribute to faris or tim reed

hahaha, nope will wear cycling kit and running kit....ultra tri's are just a fraction to long for my tush on the saddle....Olympic tri's I do entire event in speedo

I think its great that there are you folk that like the speedo swim but for my sake I a hoping for a wetsuit swim - I won't make it otherwise.

 

It's far down the line but I see that windguru predicts a 25km NE wind and 5 foot swell on Sunday which is not very friendly.

At what time is the swell predicted? Are we not swimming at low tide?

I'm in the same boat.  My 2nd swim should hopefully be on Saturday morning (1st being 5150 bela bela).

 

Sunday is going to be tough.....definitely not my sub 6 that i got at 70.3 this year
