Just getting my bike set up so I can live tweet my race tomorrow:
If you want to follow my progress, my user name is @rowansimpson.
I don’t have a solution for my wetsuit yet, so if you have any ideas please let me know.
😉
UPDATE, 13th Dec:
Thanks for all of your replies and suggestions.
I especially liked this, from @jontsnz:
Maybe add a sticker: “In case of accident, please press Send” so we can at least get the tweet that you wiped out writing!"
Classic!
Once I get feeling back in my legs I’ll write up a longer post about the day, but in the mean time here are the tweets:
Lake not too choppy. Swimming advice from 5yo: bubble arm, bubble arm, breathing arm and repeat. 6:05am
Lake water tastes better than sea water. Did a good time. Only 111km of bike and run to go. 7:16am
Run: 16km of hope completed 5km of truth to go" 11:40am
Approx finish time 5h 48m feel great and crap at same time" 12:24pm (see Start != Finish for context)
Thanks for all your messages of support. And thanks to Emily for being on Twitter duty while I was otherwise engaged. Now, where is the spa?" 2:11pm
