Black Hanky Boys make triathlon pact

Last Friday night (during the beijing Olympic opening ceremony)  the sms's started to cross the globe between Zug and Hobart on the very innocent topic of bikes, since danny had just aquired a new carbon fibre time trial bike suitable for triathlons. Before long we were chatting about the possibility of triathlons in Tassie over xmas. The gauntlet then went down for a team triathlon challenge at the upcoming Phuket triathlon in December. The grueling event features a 1.8km sea and fresh water swim, followed by a stinking hot, steep and hilly monster ride over 55km and finishes a super sweat soaked run over 12 km. We needed to complete the triad and called in the help of Johnny w in Singapore to anchor the team for the swim. A suggested team name of Black Hanky boys was unopposed and the pact was made.  Go the Black Hanky boys !

Better get a wriggle on to train for that one, mmm. Haven't done anything like that for a long while.
