ARRIVING AT SHEPPARTON
Saturday we arrived at Shepparton to 36 degrees as predicted. I had to buy a sunshade for the windscreen of my car because someone who shall remain nameless (it starts with M and ends with X and has an A in between) had taken mine out of my car to put in his car! MmmmmmMEN!!
Sunday was to be 34 degrees so I had my sunscreen with insect repellent included.Up at 4.45am to have a shower and be at the race by 5.30am. The race starts at 7.00am but there is a race briefing and checking in of equipment. At about 10 to 7 everyone walked around Lake Kialla(man made on a housing development). Just as Max’s group set out, down came the rain! Oh no – a couple of kms back to my car – yeh!! Surely we are going to get some sun. It’s meant to be 34 degrees.
Check out my new sunshade! Sitting on my dashboard,Didn’t need it.We had rain, thunder, lightning. Such fun. I am so glad I had put in my umbrella and a jacket. Being a supporter of a triathletes is not as easy as it sounds.
Swim 31.55min Max coming out of the water and is on the right.
Max is in the blue and white bike gear! See all of the water on the road. A bit dangerous on the corners!
Ride 2hr 46:59 minutes
Run 1 hr 42:47minutesMax in the orange and black top
Max completed the race in 5 hours 1 minute and 41 seconds.
SOMETIMES YOU WONDER WHY YOU GO AWAY!!
When we get home we find out Chloe has Chicken pox and one of my adult sons went to hospital with bad tonsillitis. Why does it always happen when you stay away for a night?
