And the run begins....




Hi All,

We had a special visit from a triathlete named Brett, who stopped by his three girls for a Hello! He was smiling so this must mean well, right? Man is it hot out there! But the breeze has just arrived in time to cool them off on their run. Brett was on his first loop when we saw him. He had a 5 minute transition time which is amazing. He so rocks!

Last night I was told that all he wants at the end of his run is good ol' biltong and a freezing cold beer. Off we went this morning to get that biltong and already have a cold one here that we will take to the finish line! But, Woody, the dog the size of a donkey crept into our flat while we were watching a show this afternoon and ever so quietly stole Brett's biltong! All we heard was a 'crinkle crinkle'. I thought it was Nicole until I saw the gray head walking through the doors to stash his treasure! LOL

Here is an updated pic of Brett on his run! The next update will be the FINISH!!!! YEAH!
I have the best man in the world!
Cheers,
T
