Anyway, Mirinda's next race after Kona was the NZ Ironman last Saturday, and so Phil from http://www.firstoffthebike.com/ sent me off with the task of reporting on the new World Champ's day at the office, since I was going to be there spectating. It turned out to be a wet, wet, wet day and following anyone was a hard task...but nonetheless I had some ideas for how I could come up with something for Phil.
As I headed around the bike course on my rental mountain bike cheering various friends, imagine my surprise as I came across bike #12, Mirinda's bike, beside the road with a flat tyre. Here was my scoop!!! I quickly out my camera and in true papparazi style snapped away, while having a chat with Mirnda while she waited for race tech support to help her get going...which took a good 10-15mins. She was super cool and friendly, and was a delight to chat to.
Anyway, I got the following photos of her dog day out...in the bike leg, at least, but recovered to run herself into 2nd place overall. Well done, Mirinda!!
