I’m currently sitting at a computer at the beautiful Shangri-la Hotel in Cairns, Australia with a glass of sparkling wine. I have some free-time to say hello, because Ironman wanted $45 for me to attend the welcome reception/athlete briefing with Kirk. Nevermind they already have over $500 [...] Read more...
