3.3.12
Bike time
Tobes is out on the bike now and looking good. Having a hard time taking photos. Think he is in first 100 or so with a big group. About 8 minutes off age group leader. There is a 400m run from swim up a big hill. Must be fun for the legs
1.3.12
Should that be Half IM NZ
The full Ironman has been canceled on Saturday and a half has been planned for Sunday. Looks like I'm going to have to go through this all over again to get a chance at my second Ironman

Ironman tough or Ironman stupid
I've made it and all settled now bikes in transition all the gear is ready to go just chilling giving my body the last bits of recovery.
Now its just a matter of relaxing and letting be what will be. You may be aware that the current forecast for Taupo tomorrow is around 50mm of rain and winds up to 80kmh. So there is a fair chance that the swim will be canceled and it becomes a bike/run. I don't know at what point they make the decision on the whole race as there still seems to be a lot of disc wheels rolling into transition which could be entertaining tomorrow with those winds.
All this aside I'm in great shape with everything I can control all in place. Full marks to the volunteer that took me around the transition stepping me through the process of IM Taupo as all of the IM transitions are a little different. In fact everyone we have come across so far has been so friendly and helpfull.
So as this is just a short post I'd like to thank everyone for their support and the huge efforts of my support crew that has come over to watch me race and I will go in-depth on these people in my post race report. Bianca once again will be attempting to update this blog along the way tommorow inbetween trying to stay dry and warm.
Thanks again
