All is ready and primed to go! Caff has the pad set for the MT festivus that will be in the wee hours of Sunday morning, around 4am Melb time when the age groupers exit the drink and Captain starts his way down the Queen K, we will start our ride down the Caff K.

We are all pretty pumped about the race, way way way too exciting. Had a great chat with Waino the other night, he is primed, lean and ready to rock. I'll be texting Nic and Traeges continuously as they will be over there cheering him on.

This is a shot of the boy in his race day attire titled "Caught in the act" This was taken during his 30th Sept Brick -- it's on the corner of the Queen K and the entry to the Energy Lab, just had my 4 hour bike and is gearing up for the run ;).

So, competitor #1224, do you have what it takes. If I know Captain and I do, he will have every possible mantra penned with henna on that body of his as he hits that start line for the biggest race of his life.

Go and get em'! Show them how tough the Aussies are, and when you are hurting, remember, to quote someone else's expression, "HTFU" - Harden The Phuk Up! ;)

This pretty much sums up the feeling from myself and a few of the lads at the minute as the countdown is on : Kona Countdown : 4 days

"Immerse yourself in something deeply and with heartfelt intensity - continually improve, never give up - this is fulfillment, this is success."

SMASH SMASH SMASH Captain!

Byeski,
