Hi gang,
I'm not doing IMNZ this year but I know several of you are. I missed meeting many of you last year because I was in a strange place. I was both very focussed and very calm. I had done enough preparation to feel confident. Stange feeling for me but it precluded me jeopardising my place in "the zone" by worrying about socializing.
This year I will be spectating instead. This is almost as much work as competing. If you don't believe me, just try to really follow 3 or more friends on race day, go nuts at the finish line right from when Cameron Brown crosses the line first, until the last official finisher at midnight. Bloody hard work but worth every second.
The TriDork family will have a marquee on the waterfront so we can watch all 3 legs of the race in luxury (when I'm not out on the course cheering on friends. We will have a Slowtwitch banner on it to identify it to all. If anyone is interested, competitors in need of shade (does that count as outside assistance?) friends and family, will be allowed to drop into our VIP area by prior arrangement. So you, or your supporters need to register here before the event.
Let me know. For competitors (ie fulla, we need to finally meet up) drop me a line also so we can trade war stories and some lies.
Best of luck to all and I look forward to meeting you.
