ok…2 more days before the 70.3 world champ goes on…it s looking good so far. Wtc as put a lot of money to organise this race and it should be really nice. Carpet in transition, 15000 cones for the bike course, Vip boxes for the finish line and a lot more. The expo and registration are very well done, everything is smooth!
if you are really bored and want to see me…i m at the timming booth all day!!!
the last few days have been super windy and the ocean as been very wavy…here s pic of this morning swim course took form the satellite far far away…
the lifeguard have predict that it will be nice and calm starting tomorow and until race day.
so far, i we have a few pro that have check in…of those, Chris legh looking super relax, Samantha Mcglone, and my pick for the win…Terenzo Bozzone. He is here with his dad and he is the usual goffy guy, very relax and ready to go…he is heading out after the race to thailand to race Laguna Phucket and them back home.
But the main subject of conversation on everyone lips isnt the fact that Peter Reid is racing but what color and hair cut will be show on Rappstar head… i promise picture of this!
i just saw a new bike form Louis garneau!!! it s full carbon and look a lot like other bikes from asia…maybe someone will identify what modeal it is… it will be available in december but with a different rear seat and chain stay. IT s a nice machine and look awsome with the Blackwell 100’s and adamo seat and concord aero bar…
i will get better pic later on but i m camera challenge so it look a bit blury…i need someone to teach me how to take pictures or a new camera for dummies…
ok…i was joking about peter racing…but lets focus on getting Writeguy to kona so we will see Peter back on the race!
oups…i forgot to mention that Football Mom is working with us at the registration and spying on me…so i better look like i m working while i m on slowtwitch…
i will agree in part with you…i actually like the new 12k carbon weave on a nice finish frame like the PlanetX stealth TT but on the Louis garneau…the finish isnt as clear and it dosnt look as good. But they said there will be more decals and paint on the bike when they hit the market in december…
i personaly would love to have a bright yellow bike!!!
well…it s getting hot in here!!! i mean the registration area, the big boys and big girls jsut arrived…
it s started with Simon lessing, Marcel Vifian, Lisa Bentley, Leanda Cave, Miranda Calfree. Everyone looked so relax and happy to be here!
but it s when Jordan THE RAPPSTAR showed up that everyone’s face changed…you could hear a song(eyes of the tiger) in the back ground as everyone was moving on slow motion looking at the powerhouse!!! You could also notice that they other athlete were tense and nervous asound him as Rappo walk comfidently to the weight in station and smile at me!!! only 166.6 pounds!!! yes,…he is freaking light…
And when i saw that Rappstar is on fire…i really mean it…HIS hair are like fire!!!
he said that tomorow…he will add some orange on top as the temperature rise!!! I was also lucky to get the first interview with Jordan but had to figh for it… Jordan is coming back from a altitude training camp in flagstaff and as been in clermont for a few days now! He is looking foward to ride his Lucero down the road on saturday morning and tearing appart the pavement. He also told me he had to leave as he need to go glue some special tubular for his racing wheels…yes…special tubular…and i have a feeling tufo isnt involved in the conception of these!
ok…back to work…like you can notice…i m very busy here!!!
yep…they copie the frame…but they arent allowed to come out exactly like this…they have to change the rear triangle and it will be a littel different than the planetX…and for some reason…the planetX as a nice finish than this Louis garneau…
The water looks much smoother in the pic than it was in reality. I had a tough time swimming just to the first buoy today. A top swimmer I was with said this was about his limit for chop. Fingers crossed that the lifeguards are right.
I don’t think they could’ve raced in today’s conditions, and would’ve had to shorten it. That would’ve raised Monty’s ire!
