Thinking about Rain jacket!!

9:09 pm/ Zurich, Switzerland.

The bike is secure in the Transition area now – and everything is set for tomorrow. Ciara was quite surprise how much gear this Ironman stuff attracts – and also the amount of food I am planning to carry (Thanks Harriette) !!

But most of all I am looking at my rain vest – because the skies are looking pretty grey tonight. Anyway – fingers crossed it stays mostly dry.

I was looking at some of the other people doing Ironman – and there is a massive spectrum of abilities. More often than not you can tell the level of athlete by the type of bike. Oh man – I was surrounded by literally thousands of Franc’s and Euros’ worth of bikes… But as always – you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover.

My afternoon was grand. Did a short 3 km spin to check the bike – she’s operating fine. The legs felt okay. I had a ‘row’ with one of the Security guys in the transition area – because he wouldn’t let me out of the area to get a bike pump. Anyway – it solved itself.

So now that the pasta dinner has settled, and we took a walk around the block. I have all my gear laid out – in sequence, and the only plan left is to set up breakfast.

My wake-up time will be about 4 am. Slow start – with little bit of Breakfast – trying to eat well as per my list of things to eat. Then walk to start (hopefully not raining yet) and drop off my clothes bags/ food bags/ and then find my bike – add some water bottles – and lay everything out and head to the water- with full wetsuit on ready for action. \

About to lay back and watch Borat again – for a bit of a laugh.
