First up... some more photos from our trip to Vegas and LA! Pete.. I’m sorry the pic with Crowie doesn’t have the EJ t-shirt!!! I didn’t know I was gonna meet him and I was saving it for the next day... race day!!!
Now for the holiday and race day shots taken expertly by Amanda... highlight for the EJ shirt... check out the transition photos on race day before the race... can pick me out a mile away in the orange!
Absolute chaos down in there and for the first time ever, my pump decided today was the day it was not going to work... nothin I could do would get it to do it's job... so to the rescue came a norwegian fellow who stood there with me and held the nozzle tight onto the valve and wheel while I got it done. Cheers boss... I was really starting to get the dirts for a minute there!
Standing there waiting to start was surreal... September 11, cannons going off and the national anthem with a small remembrance speech for the 9/11 attacks back in 01. I wont forget it in a hurry.
Day before the race in transition I got the first hint of all not beoing well in the Crowie / Orca camp... a nice black unmarked bike in his spot... must have been trialling bikes as it looked like a P4 in his spot and not the Spec Shiv that he eventually announced and rode on in Kona. Nice bloke though who I was lucky enough to meet... all credit to the lad though, he stopped on the spot for the photo and said hi and good luck just like everyone else does to each other before a race. Chuffed.
Last but not least... EJ in Disneyland!
