I am in the Norseman

Received email today to say 'This is to inform you that we have accepted your entry for Norseman 2009!'

'Excellent news' response to my text informing Si summed up my feelings.

Julie had responded with 'you are the Norseman...' which may be a little premature - a lot of training lies between now and completing the event. Looking forward to it all of it.

I tried to explain to one of my bosses about the event, the swim in fjord, the first 2 hours of cycling being up hill, the final cut off point after 37.5 km of the run and the different t-shirts awarded to those that complete the final mountain run... Anyway, at the end of my little resume of the Norseman, John commented 'all of that for a t-shirt!'

I am excited!

Well done Richard! Now for some serious training, made a little easier with this kind of motivation?
