Enough rest and now it’s time to share my IM experience.  Actually I am getting tired of telling the tale and figured posting the story is much simpler and a way for everyone to get the same version.  Having said that, lets summarize with the following: 1.

Being in Florianopolis (an Island in the southern part of Brazil) is great. During the week we had beautiful sunny days BUT don’t fool yourself, the race is scheduled to take place during a stormy cold day. We should hit the water at 7am in 20c and choppy seas.

You may or may not know that we weren’t officially listed on the Ironman Brazil website until yesterday. As a matter of fact, Israel wasn’t even listed as a country in the drop down list. We committed to Issta and patiently waited for instructions. When I say patiently, I obviously mean that we took turns [...]
