I think you'd love it (we'll see what happens after That said, everyone seems super friendly AND laid back (Euro races are not usually laid-back!) and it's very well organized. Extremely little at the expo, though, so bring all your own stuff. I'm aiming for doing swim and 1 loop of the bike (92km). Anything after that is a bonus. We'll see how I feel after the first bike loop. I'm completely unprepared for this race (so, just like every other race, ho-hum) but the course is a bit-LOT tougher. I also just had a friend pass away in very difficult circumstances and I'm finding it hard to do or care about much right now. But at the same time, I'm deeply grateful for every breath, every day, every moment. So with that celebratory attitude ... GO DAZZERS!!! GO MARKUS!!! GO ME!!! GO SALTY!!! |
). The bike course is crazy, but crazy fun. Same as any other IM, I'd think: if you're prepared for it, this seems like a really good race. Not much less climbing than Nice, though, and it's not big swooping climbs and descents but kinda zigzaggy blind-corner ones. And 8km or so on cobbles. And it's long | 2016-07-29 1:59 PM in reply to: rrrunner |

Will try to post more pics in the race report. Fortunately there are no pictures of my "one shoe off, one shoe on" version of the "flying dismount" in T2. OMG this pic is way too big--but I don't know how to resize it--sorry! |

July 30-31 Yanti I am so sorry about your friend. The total disregard that the Indonesian Government has for human life and their own laws continues to amaze (not in a good way) me. More and more of my friends will no longer travel there as their way of protest, the sad thing about that is that it affects the local people more than it affects the Government. I pray that somehow God will bring peace and healing to all of those affected by this weeks events. |
