Kiwi Girl,

I think I'm more likely to be at the back of the swimmers, as I haven't really trained enough for the swim bit
Thanks so much for the advice on the balloon - I'll definitely go out and get one, as I was wondering how you found your bike in transition! That's a brilliant idea - thanks so much!
How selfish of your brother to arrange his wedding, out of the blue, without consulting your sporting calendar first! My brother-in-law and family are arriving for a holiday from the UK the day before the duathlon, but we're hoping jet lag might make them late risers that day, so we can be back from the event before they've even stirred! Hope so! People just don't consider these things when they organise your life for you!!
