It’s changed… check it…

Ray – where will BYL tentland be???

yes that’s right.. I have decided its only so many times you can ride that freeway bike path towards Mandurah and back… the domain of the triathlete, pass the same weird old people that stumble out of the retirement home in Success, the Gatorade refill at caltex Baldivis and the fat truckie who always feels the need to be a dick.

It only so many sessions I can talk to my special friend the black line at the bottom of the pool… I often ask it for advice… Blacky am I going to swim fast at Busso… why not Blacky? Blacky why do the fat old guys wear sluggos that are way to small for them. Blacky why is there an excess of used bandaids on the pool floor today?

It only so many run sessions that I can run with my ipod… seriously ive even been able to guess the next song on shuffle its been used that much..

I just want to race.. 18 days till it ends and I get to sleep in again.. that is until IMWA 2010 when it begins all over again.

As Ray Boyd said you have to celebrate what we do… so watch this for a little inspiration, then try an outdo Gi Singh, an age grouper who just finished IMA.. Wait for his celebration at the end of the clip…
Tribute to the age grouper

Raymond must have us all well trained these days, he off tens of thousands of miles away in NZ and like good little worker bee’s we roll up for another race in they city.

Thankfully Raymond was not here today as many of the crew were forced to wear other kits other than the traditional BYL black suits as we were representing many different corporate teams today.. Cardno, Worley etc… (Raymond would not be impressed)… however Alistair, Claudia & Nat raged against the corporate machine to wear BYL colours (Raymond would be impressed).

The BRW race is a three person Tri Team event where each member of the team does a 400m swim, 10km bike and 4km run the passes the baton (timing chip) over to the next member and so on…

Below is the snapshot from my discussions with the BYL crew hanging around transistion:

Alistair Press:- dislikes orange traffic cones and killed a few for good measure

Michael Smith:- is doing Ironman this year…

Tom Kroyer:- team came 3rd (all thanks to Aaron), happy to actually win something and noted that we got excatly the same prize pack as Wuzer who came 2nd (where is the incentive Wuzer??).

Claudia Dohr:- has many overdue Uni assignments

Mara Kroyer:- enjoyed her swim desipte the swan river sludge, yes went into the water wearing a white trisuit, came out in a brown trisuit.

Natalie Grundy:- saw you out running Nat…

Arron Robertson:- anchored our team to 3rd overall and enjoys his new role as contracts manager for Cardno.

Shao Wu:- was flying, beat me by a couple of mintues, came 2nd overall (and got the same prize pack as me, whats with that!!!).

Will post pics later…
