Helping me get perspective...

...is my dear bloggie-friend Pip, whose latest post explains her recent absence from blogland.

Pip- enjoy recovery. And once you're back on your feet, how about joining me in Wanaka in 2011?

Oh Kate, you so know I'm there! Only if you promise to come help me drink wine at Hamish's father's Bannockburn vineyard afterwards though ...

Mike said...

I feel sorry for the person that came last in that time trial ... how bad must they feel.

Kate ... you do realise that Wanaka is regarded as the hardest Ironman course outside of Kona!!!

Phillip said...

That's a lie.

1) It's not an "Ironman" (trade mark);
2) Ironman Lanzarote (probably harder than Kona);
3) http://www.nxtri.com/ (the only Iron distance I'd really like to do); and
4) maybe even this http://www.ironmanusa.com/.

Sorry to hijack the post - Pip, I hope you recover quickly!

Oooh Phil, wife baiting much? Easy to do when there's a couple of hours' separation. Not so easy once she moves down to be with you!

Pip said...

Oops, just realised Phil was baiting Mike. That's fine then. Bait away!

Kate said...

1- Mike: Phil is right
2- Mike: Have I EVER raced on an easy course when there was a hard one available???
3- Everyone: I am only committing to doing SOMETHING at Wanaka 2011. I haven't decided WHICH race yet!

Phillip said...

You're doing the full race. you know you are =)

Mike said...

Damn! I missed all the baiting when it was live!

I retract my flipant remark about the 'hardness' of Wanaka. I had just watched Hillary Biscay describe it as one of the hardest ironman distance races she has done.
