There are so many things that went better than I could have hoped re the event - one of those was the reassembling the bike in Norway after flight. No problems at all - in stark contrast to when I tried to reassemble in UK afterwards and got the chain so twisted that I had to take it into bike shop to have a new chain...
Bike assembled I cycled down to Eidfjord proper (we were staying part way up the hill that led away from fjord base) to be joined by Si and Julie. Took the opportunity after registration to go for first swim in new wetsuit. Was joined by Si and we had lovely swim in still waters that were not too cold at all. (Si did outswim me after I 'blew up' after trying to blitz him on way back to pontoon)
After we got out a fellow competitor and his support crew joined us on the pontoon. I watched Hugh enter the water and swim off, turned away for a few seconds and looked round again to see he had covered a huge distance. Conversation with his support crew revealed he had exited water 30th in Lanzarote Ironman...
(He would exit swim 3rd here...)
