Andrew Nash: Race Report
First IRONMAN 70.3

Friday - 6hr drive from Brisbane to Port Mac first up was the 3hr round trip to drop off the kids at grandparents, 9 hr in the car is a great way to start the weekend. As well I couldn't find my driver’s license (photo ID required for check in) thankfully my wife had my passport hidden so that problem was solved. We arrived in Port and went to bed missing out on the club dinner.
Saturday - A nice 7am swim in the beautiful Hasting River temp was 18/19 deg, glad for the wet-suit, and it was raining. And it rained all day!!!!!! Did all the 1st timers things Q&A session, Transition tour, drove the bike course and rode up and down the hill on Matthew Flinders Dr (look it up on U-Tube) a few times. Unpacked all my gear and repacked it making sure I had everything (about 3 times). Too late now if I left anything in Brisbane......

Note - Your wet-suit wont dry if it’s raining all day!!!!
Sunday - Race Day Clear skies. Everything going well until I climbed into a wet wet-suit. Well I'll be swimming soon (who cares). Out of the water in 40min flat GREAT!!! (40min 50sec), I surprised myself. Then onto the bike, it started off well. Stuck to my plan for the feed stations and hydration,
