16:55.028S 145:47.178E Ironman + Hinterland Trip Mooring Carins, Australien 8.-12. Juni 2018 15nm (total 2018: 30nm) Back in Cairns to sort a few more things out. The town is super busy as on Sunday, some 3.000 professionals and non-professionals will do the 180km bicycle tour along the scenic Cook Highway, swim 4km in the Coral Sea and then finish off with a marathon run. Some will ‘only’ do half the tour. I’m so in awe of all these amazing athletes. The day after in a restaurant I had the pleasure to meet Pam from California. She did it the third time and came in 3rd in her age group: 60-64 year olds! Even more in awe now… Also did a fun trip into the Hinterland and saw huge trees, volcanic lakes and did a little hike to the pretty Emerald Creek Falls. Even went out dancing one night! Quite a lively young crowd here, at 3am the streets were still full of people.        |
