Ironman Europe 2 days away - Cameron Brown
2 July 2010
Well the count down has begun for the European Ironman Championships in Frankfurt, Germany on Sunday July 4th and yet again there is a Stella field of Professionals on the start line.
2007 World Ironman Champion Chris McCormick leads the charge along with 2x European Ironman Champion Timo Bracht of Germany, Former 70.3 Half Ironman world Champion and 3rd place at Hawaii last year Andreas Raelert, 6x Ironman Australia winner Patrick Vernay from New Caledonia and a whole host of other talented Europeans.
The temperatures have slowly risen over the last week, the water temp was 19c last week in the Langen Waldsee lake but after 10days of heat it hit 24c this morning and with a maximum of 35c expected on Saturday wetsuits may be banned.
Race coverage is on www.ironmanlive.com and they usually have great TV coverage of the race at certain stages of the bike and run. We start at 6:45am(4:45pm NZ time, 9:45pm USA Pacific time zone).
I'll let you know how everything goes straight after the race with my report as I usually can't sleep after these damm things!
Take care
Cameron Brown
