The nervous calm before the storm!

This morning was up and going at 6.30am. First activity for the morning was to go for a swim down on the swim course. Arrived at the transition at approximately 7.30am. The wet suit was put on and then into the waters. Well initially it was very chilly but after you got going it soon warmed up. However, after a while anything that wasn't covered ended up being quite numb! Felt good throughout the swim...just a short one 15min. Was comfortable and worked on being relaxed and focussing on my technique.

Met Mark, Muffy and Jeff once I was out and they were about to go for a swim themselves.

Hang around for the race briefing at 9.30am. It was the usual things but with a focus on the Ironman aspects of the race...increased time and length changes some details in terms of the race compared to normal triathlons.

Had a carbo load lunch.

After lunch finished organising my gear for the gear bags and then at 2.00pm made my way down to check the bike in at Transition.

3.00pm back at Camp....time to put the feet up!
