From Thailand to Berlin

Easy day today before flying out first thing in the morning, have the drama of trying to pack  the bike away in the bike bag that i hate doing and all the shite that goes with it when doing a triathlon.
All set now and can't wait to get over there and race one of my favorite races of the year, fingers crossed all goes to plan.

Had a very pleasant email come through from the Chairman Tom this morning saying that he had arranged to get a starting spot at Berlin Marathon next September for any of the current HuRTS members if they were keen.  Well after about 250 emails during the course of the morning we had got a good little crew going for what will be the first HuRTS tour to go overseas. Kane, Costello, Stankard and Macca are all in representing the Irish, whilst HuRTS #1 Tucks, Bartles and Herington will line up under the Skippy banner, and even J-Fen is in flying solo for Uncle Sam. Whilst Tommy H, Slim Sammy Agnew and i will have the '3 Lions alongside our HuRTS emblem.
I think its a great idea and one that i am already looking forward to, especially not only getting the chance to run a big Marathon once again but also to possibly get to the Oktoberfest :)

Team England were extra excited about the news today and were out at lunchtime already getting kitted out for the big adventure as you can see below.

As mentioned yesterday, not sure how much access I'll get to the net whilst away, so a full report will come once back in 12 days
