Pre Race Singapore Ironman 70.3 2009

On Friday, went to the Aviva Ironman 2009 race expo at the Playground @ Big Splash at East Coast Park to register and pick up my race pack.
wuhoo... my ironman goody bag..


aviva running vest for all competitors


the "cool" competitor's wrist band (bragging rights) - had to wear this the whole weekend

a big crowd at the race merchandise stall - takut abis stock

the pasta party / race briefing

Went back to the expo on Saturday afternoon to check-in my bike

rows and rows of cool bikes left at the beach overnight.

I never thought of covering my bike, but since it was raining, I just had to improvised. Macam basikal buruk saja.... hantam sajalah..
While queuing to check-in my bike, saw a few pro triathletes. The guy in the black/white top is current Ironman World Champion Craig Alexander @ "Alexander the Great"

After everything was done, bike tucked in for the night, decided to just go for a walk to check out the race course. The organisers were still setting up some of the props and all.
the swim course, looks scary..... starting to get very nervous

the swim exit


the "Finish" - can't wait to cross this line
