Met up with Libor on Thursday after the 7:00am swim. He hung out with me and my mother for a while. Great to finally meet him!
Josh arrived yesterday and I had a chance to see him and Libor at the athlete dinner and meeting. Josh took a pic, so maybe he'll see this and post it. I met him again this morning at bike drop off.
The weather is looking choice! Clear skies, mild temps and relatively mild winds until later in the day Sunday. Team Trifuel looks ready...even Josh had left uncertainty on the plane and is ready to throw down. He looked like this when he first arrived- :eek: Now he's :cool:

Bryan

Of course it's 'effing hard, it's IRONMAN!

Ya, Josh is ready to rock. As are you! Looks like a nice day. If Josh doesn't post the pics I will cause I have some taken as well of the three of us at the dinner last night. Unfortunately it will have to be after I get home. Hey, I missed you at the bike drop off. Saw Josh. Let's get this frikin' thing over with! I am SOOOOO ready to do it. Good luck to all the trifuelers!

Thank you everyone. :) I still am in shock considering I had a flat on the bike and it was so windy. I'll compose my thoughts and post a full report.
I'm going to Hawaii to compete at a race my mother did 4 times, she is my inspiration.

I'm worried about our boy.
The swim went according to plan. The bike split looks okay, but I fear Libor has had a mishap on the run. I think he was trained to break 4 hours and he has run nearly 5 hours. A muscle pull? Gut problems? A blister?
I think he would run over blazing coals to podium if he could. He was training for it, a high placing I mean, not the burning coals.
He had an ankle problem during his last half IM last season, I dunno.
Anyway, great effort guys, all round. Bravo!

That's what I was thinking too. I know he trained hard for the run. Something must've happened to him. At least he finished!

Very proud!

Thanks for following all. It's great to have such a supposrtive community. And congrats to all that finished. Bryan dude, you rock!

Yes. I had a bad time on the bike. Winds were like 50mph on the last loop. Popped a front tire, got caught on the strong wind gust right after it happened and crashed into an orange pylon. Hurt my hip and really pushed to get back. Started the run but it hurt alot. Just grunted the run out on a sore hip and then I threw up after the first lap. Mental went down and so, my run sucked. I was all set to go for my goal except for the probs. I'll write a race report as soon as I get home. I finished though. That's the Ironman. Really a flavour of the day.

Thanks for the support crew!
