Ironman Malaysia 2014 🇲🇾
Langkawi, Ironman Malaysia 2014 🇲🇾 Friday before the race Mark, a recruitment consultant, and I had prepared well. Bikes were in, a good lunch and dinner a 90min massage and some chill out time. Saturday morning, race day. Awake at 5:15am and down at breakfast 5:30am. A small breakfast of porridge which Elle had packed for me and by 5:45am we were walking to the event. Arriving I was relived to find my tyres were both still inflated, no small thing given recent history. Some last minute tasks, nutrition packing, computer mounting etc and soon I was ready. Mark was already soughted. It was still dark, the sun was starting to peak through the clouds as everywhere were nervous athletes thinking through the day. Most were pretty serious, opposed to Japan there was a lot of fuss over small technical things. No access to the transition bags, no compression wear in the swim, no covers on the bike and on and on it went. The swim would start as a self seeded wave start....
