Just had one too 
We’re 13 hours ahead of Kona here I think. Will probably see the swim and first hour or so of bike before falling asleep- even worse than normal 
To make matters worse wife’s booked some kayaking trip for this afternoon which sounds great but also likely to induce sleep later on
@Matthew_Spooner Good luck, tactics, form & mechanical. You’ve reached one of the pinnacles of endurance sport. Enjoy it.
Kona.
But I’m sure tracking these guys smash it I’ll be jealous and wanting to go again!
Have a great race @Matthew_Spooner , it’s been great following your progress, looking forward to tracking and reading the report.
In case I don’t post in here again beforehand, all the best @SidSnot , smash it!
Who WASN’T actually shouting at LIONel to win in 2017, as Lange was closing in? I can’t believe it was that long ago already.
finish been built
Forgotten that was the year Jan crocked his back
Macca/Raelert seems like yesterday 
My first was 2012. Leanda Cave and Pete Jacobs i think from memory.
We were in California on our honeymoon.
Looks like they’ve got a fancy website where we can watch the broadcast - with the different camera streams/leaderboard etc. Let’s hope it works!
Today is THE day @Matthew_Spooner - have really enjoyed following your journey and progress these last few years. Now go and get it!
COME ON SPOOOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEERRRRR!!!
C/mon Spoons, looking forward to his bike - he’ll be one of the later ones out of the swim but will be gobbling them up like Pac-man on the Queen K!
Good spot!
Go for it Spoons, enjoy it and in the tough moments remember everyone on here will be throwing motivational swearing and good vibes your way.
Crikey friend of mine in F30-34 has just messaged to say tested +ve for Covid overnight.
I wonder if we’ll lose some of the Pro field.
And the authorities won;t be happy if 5,000 visiting athletes kick off another wave.
Did she test because its a requirement to race, or because she’s just diligent? I’ve not done a LFT for months. Didn’t even enter my mind before Wales. I’d definitely not be doing one unless it was an obligation
She did it because she ‘felt rough’, I don;t think its a requirement or anything.
great races everyone (tracker set up) and IronmanNow looks good especially with the multiview, great link @funkin . I really need another monitor to be able to carry on working
Yeah same, didn’t even cross my mind before Wales and I work in a school!
