Half Ironman? Easy.

Well, easy to watch anyway. I managed to get up before 6:00am on Sunday, and rode out to Elk Lake to take in the New Balance Half Iron Man.

• Swim 1.9km
• Bike 86.5km
• Run 20km
  

There were 3 competitors in the men's 70 - 99 years old category. None of them came last - in fact, out of a total number of 496 competitors they came 424, 454 and 469. There is no can't.

The ride out was great, and was actually my longest ride since last year's tri. I am fairly convinced that my bike is going to seriously improve this year. Not just because of my bike, but also because I hadn't actually trained the full distance (19km). The ride to Elk Lake was 22km each way - so, I am feeling more prepared.

Lots more to do.
