Check me out on Ironmanlive ...

Our old coach Kevin MacKinnon was in Malaysia for the Ironman there this weekend. I'm wondering if he'll make the "short" trip down to Taupo for next week. It'd be great to see him. If I do see him, I'll ask him to make a post about how bad I look when I make it to the run. Anyways, failing that, you can look me up in the "Athlete Finder" from IMNZ at Ironman Live. Also, check out my brother Jason and the my training mates from Melb. Uni training group: Michael Goode, George Skoufis, Cameron Smith, Ian Gordon and John Gestakovski, Greg Steinberg (Canadian!).

Assuming all goes to plan, here are my hoped finishing times, converted to various select locations. Of course, this all depends on a lot of things falling together.

Swim:
8.00am SATURDAY Taupo, NZ
6.00am SATURDAY Melbourne
2.00pm FRIDAY Toronto/Bloomington/Sarnia
11.00am FRIDAY Vancouver/Portland

Bike:
1.30pm SATURDAY Taupo, NZ
11.30am SATURDAY Melbourne
7.30pm FRIDAY Toronto/Bloomington/Sarnia
4.30pm FRIDAY Vancouver/Portland

Run:
5.00pm SATURDAY Taupo, NZ
3.00pm SATURDAY Melbourne
11.00pm FRIDAY Toronto/Bloomington/Sarnia
8.00pm FRIDAY Vancouver/Portland

Also, it would be great if some or all of you can shoot a text to Lynn (I have an NZ mobile SIM card when I was over there which I will give to her ... email me or Lynn for the number) as she'll have a pretty long day watching the race (and picking up the pieces at the end).
