The Big Day!!! BIKE update

Hello!

I am back! It is now 11.25am - Toby came past to start his third and final lap at about 11am - so we are on track still. He seemed to be probably 5 minutes slower than we were expecting (after the lead he made up in the swim) but that could be a puncture along the way or the heat - not sure? We have cheered on another local athlete David Chant who is about 12 minutes behind Toby at this stage. He was looking quite cheery and happy to see a fan club cheering him on!

To give you an idea of times we are expecting Toby from here
Finish bike - 12.35 - 12.40pm
Start Run - 12.45pm
Finish lap 1 of run - 2.00pm
Finish Lap 2 of run - 3.15pm
Finish - 4.30pm
This is for a 10 hour race time but it really depends on how the day pans out. The commentators seem to think that there will be a race record today as it is good conditions. Really it is pretty warm!

Has been a great day so far. Will get back on here again once Toby comes off the bike and starts the run to let you know how his times are going.

Adios amigos
