Brasil - report#3

An other beautiful day in Floripa! Nice, sunny, warm…
Had a nice swim (still warm for wetsuit IMO) with Olaf and Rob, a pretty good swimmer from the UK.
I touched something during the swim…at this time I am not sure if this was

  1. a jellyfish
  2. one of Pamela Anderson’s boobs

However, because this is slowtwitch and everything IS possible here, we’ll say it’s 2 :wink:

Off for a massage now :slight_smile: ($28 for 1h30)

Any thoughts on using a wetsuit/not using it? Have you considered going sleeveless since the wate is warm? At least it would float your legs.

Again, have a great week and a great race. Enjoy your massage.

You missed out Francois. I just had a 1 hour massage for free at the Lexus :slight_smile:

Btw, the water is supposed to be colder at the race start.

That was probably jellyfish. We found lots of little ones when we were swimming off the beachSouth of the race site last year. Far to small to do any harm but just a spooky us a bit.

Race hard, my lettle French friend! I shall be watching online.

let us know about the wetsuit thing if you went to the pros briefing today…
vinnie

They said that in previous years, it was legal and will likely be again this year, but were not certain…
they will measure in the coming days and will announce it.

pros start with AGers, so it’s VERY likely that it’s wetsuit legal.

Bottles on the bike are bike bottles unlike rumors heard before.

drafting will be strictly enforced and Olaf asked that it applies also to media vehicles helping some athletes.

there will be pizza at some aid stations, as well as cake

nothing unusual other than that

pizza at the aid stations. Awesome!

I thought he wasn’t serious…? Maybe he was! :slight_smile:

I am serious…pizza…

I don’t know if he was serious or not. But I know that I like pizza on long rides sometimes. I used to do a ride years ago that 130 miles and we would stop at a pizza buffett in the middle. I used to always feel great riding after eating pizza. I guess I am a little weird but I would not be surpirsed to hear of others who have done the same.

we just spotted pamela anderson in Canasvieras. So I definitely touched her boob when swimming…will try to know if it was the right or left one :wink:

it doesn’t matter but we will need a picture of course;)

'how about a video?

The Francois and Pamela Anderson video on the internet. Wow. I guess that I am the only guy who does not have a video with Pamela Anderson on the internet.

I hope that my wife is not lurking :wink:

There was pizza at the aid stations at IM France back in 2002 also.

It couldn’t possibly be one of Pamela Anderson’s boobs. For if it was it would not feel as small as a jellyfish. When I touched her breast a few weeks back while swimming it had more of a feeling like I had swam into a “soft” island. I was rather perplexed and it threw my swim right off. Although the breast was as big as an island, it had little value because due to the instable surface I would not be able to build a cottage.
