HI Everyone,
All slept until 10:30am and wandered off to a good breakfast. Woody, a dog the size of a donkey, helped us bask in the morning sun for a while before we all got ready to take Nicole to do her first Kids Tri. The water was FREEZING. The poor kids jumped into a pit of ice so it's no wonder their little arms were flailing like they were...
Nicole did great but did get very dizzy on the run. I don't know if you know that she fainted in the kitchen last week? So after she ran over the finish line she was pretty upset and off to the medics she went. She is fine now but tired, and just want's a Wimpy Milkshake!! LOL She was awesome and we are so proud of her!
Brett is down at the race now delivering his bike and transition bags telling all the Africans they need to guard his bike for him tonight. One can only imagine...
I am planning for a 6am wake up in the morning to take Brett to the start of the tri. Fortunately, after he gets into the swim, the girls and I will come back to our B&B and watch him come past on all his loops. The location of our B&B is amazing. So I will be watching him cycle and run from a chair on the side on the road and walking in to the B&B to update the blogg and pictures as goes his way.
Thanks all for reading the blog. Stay tuned for the big day tomorrow :) GO BRETT GO!
ALL BTT'rs: You can leave comments below for him.....
Cheers

Congrats Nicole! You are so brave. We really miss you all. I hope you are having fun, but I am counting the days for you all to get home! Little John started music class today and it was the best 45 minutes I have ever had with him. Tell Shelley, Hi from Sienna, She has been talking about S. Africa a ton. We watched Free Willy the night you all left, and it was in S. Africa! She was so excited! Enjoy yourselves!
ReplyDeleteGood luck Brett!
That must have been really upsetting and scary for Nicole on the run, but nice going under difficult conditions! You are an Iron athlete!
