Who’s in for this (besides me)?

I have Noosa Tri first, then Busso.

My first time in WA. Any advice welcome - humorous or otherwise...

Yeah I'm down for the full. You doing the full too?

Have you got your accommodation organised?
 

Bring an outfit for the beer mile. If you forget I can lend you something...

I was about to say, you don't want to borrow any outfits from Zed on account of the places those poor things have been.

Stikman and I are in for the full.

There was a greasy spoon takeaway place at the little shops up the road that was open pretty early on Monday morning for your post race pre-breakfast breakfast requirements.

The Maccas drive thru in town was open til midnight on Sunday (I think it was midnight anyway)

You can borrow Stikman's pump, even if you've never met him before

[Youngy2 141]

We are in - think it’s my 4th at Busso

This is critical information. I like cheeseburgers.

That’s great. I’m really looking forward to it as I’ve always wanted to go over there.

Hope the sharks find somewhere else to play that day.

There's another long term Trannie who I have been advised will be racing. He's been out of action for a while and is making his comeback at Busso.

Hope the old boy is okay..

Yep Strava tells me Ratdog is making a come back

[zed 1,425]

Ask Pistol Pete, he has his number on speed-dial.

[Katz 1,552]

I guess he might be there, assuming his roster lines up with Busso. Who knows?

[zed 1,425]

There's an after-party at my place on the Sunday, I'll let youse know the address closer to the time, all trannies welcome! Anyone wearing Ironman apparel will be refused entry. Pete bring your carton!

Look I did say no Ironman apparel, but I think on this occasion I could make an exception. 

note: I do not want overweight middle-aged blokes turning up in this outfit, you will be turned away. Sorry. 

[Trunkz 3]

Yep OK lets do it. Any accom left?

  

[Bored@work 3,777]

I was thinking about heading across & volunteering. Never volunteered at a duathalon before.

I race bikes now. Sold all my tri gear. I'm retired. Facebook memories have me racing Ironman this weekend for the last 6 years. 

Today I watched tv, did a couple of rides and enjoyed the day. I don't miss Ironman at all.

If you missed just 3 swim squads you have saved about 5 hours.

But you won't go 5 hours faster in the race by going to swim squad.

So I'm with you. Go a few hours slower on race day, but think of all those mornings you can sleep in whilst others a staring at a black line in a pool. 

Training is so overrated and a bad use of your time.

Thinking of, I found a box with two pairs for the Big K I forgot to send. Hat is in there as well. 

Nah, just wing it. Although throw a leg over to make sure the gears work 

Any spare.. my current pair are almost transparent..

Mardi Gras outfit? Beer mile outfit?

[KieranR 1,838]

Trainings going well, couple hours thrashing the MTB this morning, over the bars once when ambition outweighed ability, forgets the flats were on and not the clip in pedals 😂😂😂😂

[Ironnerd 744]

I am in. 

My inconsiderate niece is getting married the night before in Perth. So it will be an early morning drive down to Busso for me.

[Nath. 405]

This might help folks thinking about next year!

4 weeks out so likely to be the last big weekend (unless you’re Cam Wurf), hows everyone going.

I’d forgotten how tiring bloody IM preps are and looking forward to backing off.
