Today is Triathlon day and it looks to be a hot and very humid one. The typhoon moving up from Taiwan is now heading more towards the west. On Friday evening there was an announcement over the city public address system to say somebody had spotted a two or three metre fish; either a school of fish or a shark. With the warming of the seas over the years, Hammerhead sharks can be seen off the beach. This year the swim is going ahead. The event is now an ecology conscious green tournament. Volunteers will be bussed around in buses running on biodiesel produced from used tempura oil.

Due to safety concerns roused by the passing typhoon, the triathlon took place today with a few course changes. The swell was so great, the swim section was cancelled. It started with part of the run, followed by the bike section and finishing with the rest of the run. Usually the race comprises of a 3 km swim, 145 km bike ride and a 42.195 km run, the latter being equivalent to a marathon. My wife keeps mentioning that I should enter, not bloody likely.
