Port Macquarie: Ironman Triathlon

November 9th, 2008 : port-macquarie-ironman-triathlon

Rob and Edmund BartonThe Port Macquarie half ironman triathlon was surrounding us today. We were locked in the caravan park from 6am to 2pm, but that was OK as we did not plan on driving anywhere. Clare went out super early with Olive to watch the swim-cycle transition, while throughout the morning the bike and run legs were visible on either edge of the caravan park. It continued to rain, which was probably cooler for the athletes, but not great for us. Fortunately there is a big undercover camp kitchen just next to our van, which we used for shelter all day. We went for a stroll around town late in the afternoon, then indulged on fish and chips by the river. Rob had his picture taken which Edmund Barton (Who?).
