Been in Frankfurt today for work and paid a nostalgic quick visit to the Expo and finish area - the stands are almost up. Walking through the IM office I had a real pang of regret when a girl asked me if I was there for registration and I had to say no!
lovely and sunny here today - not seen mike but travelled a bit with one of his pals from home. expo is good too and lots of nice kit. feels like just yesterday i was racing here !
Am aching abit today but feeling great after taking 29 minutes off my half IM pb at Cleveland yesterday. I finished in 5:35:37, including a 12 min improvement on my swim from last year
And will hopefully get fitter and faster ahead of this weekend next year.
Yeah lets hope he can, just all depends on the weather and what he's got left I suppose. He's had an amazing start though, so lets hope he has a strong finish.

Oooh look - the grandstand is coming together !
surely they'd have been told on friday at the briefing if it was going to be a wetsuit swim?

nice one holgs
hopefully mike can follow up his bike split with a sub-4 run. think that would be more in keeping with his bike split than a 5 hour run.
Thanks JD
