Ironman Wales 2011 - Race the dragon

Tenby (United Kingdom, Wales) - There are 12 hours left before I get up tomorrow morning. And I am ready! Ready to face, race and fight the Welsh Dragon. The bike is in transit, the bags are in place. The body is filled with energy. And the mind is set. What remains is counting down the hours. The worst hours of them all. Waiting for all that lies ahead of us. Waiting for the unknown… Waiting for what the Dragon will throw at us…

And there are a lot of unknowns this time. Everything changes by the hour. The weather changed from partly clouded to rain and storm, to light rain and what not more. It is a constant changing factor, and although it is an external one, it keeps all of us busy. What to wear? What not to wear? It is like something lurking in the dark, not knowing what it is? 

But there is more. We had the briefing this afternoon. And that was surprising too. The swim moved from the North to the South Beach. Adding another kilometer of running tomorrow. And there is more… There are sheep on the course at some point.. ‘They are soft when you hit them.’ Comforting thought. And not to forget about all the dirt, leaves and pieces of branches on the road, blown from the trees… I guess the Dragon is just up for a big fight! And I will give him a big fight! Starting tomorrow morning at 7AM!
