I spent most of the day watching the Cairns Challenge Ironman Triathlon and Half Ironman Triathlon.
My upmost respect to all those who competed today in what looked like incredibly tough conditions. It got to 27 O C today and I noted even Macka Chris McCormack stopping off at the drinks stations in order to property take on board sufficient hydration, mind you he had time to spare as he was about 10mins in front of second place. He looked like an awesome machine. He must have swam 3.8km, cycled 180km and ran 42km in just over 8 hours in those conditions starting at 7.00am and finishing just after 3.00pm.
Consider those guys still out there now as I right this having slogged it out for 13hours so far! What must that do to your body? It made my intervals seem rather inadequate.
I took lots of photos but at the moment I cant download to this netbook.
In the Half Ironman you HuRTS lads will be pleased that Fast Charlie looked like he might get 3rd or 4th.
I decided to run some intervals around a rough and rutted sports ground up at the North end on the Esplanade where the Ironmen were doing the U turn for the 3 or 4 laps of the Esplanade they were doing.

Very impressive result for Fast Charlie getting 3rd (and fastest run leg). Put well over a minute into Truscott on the run.
