Watch out Canberra, she may be StayPuff by name, but she is EverReadyBunny by nature! wink.gif

Seriously now, if you can get some time free to tour-guide StayPuff, you will be in for some fun. Her visit to Adelaide last year was one of the high highlights of my year!

Hi StayPuff;

Awesome to hear that you're coming to town. As the time draws nearer we'll have to arrange a get-together; perhaps a bit of a sight-see, a wee drink and maybe a jog around the lake (just as a warm up for your triathlon?

A.O.

And make sure you sneak in a swim at Yarralumla Bay

And AO, once she gets her bearings she has got to go on one unguided run. cool.gif

She did it here in Adelaide, and went the opposite direction to that recommended ... awesome.

Thanks sunny Dont scare them too much.

Im really excited abotu this trip. and i will be looking for a run on saturday i know Karen is planning a ride with me Friday morning to get us working together on the tandem then a swim and a small run sunday.

Its going to be a pretty full on weekend and loads of fun.

AO we so have to catch up im not that scarey. though when Sysdney cops me someone has t volunteer to do the bridge climb with me.

Kevin im not sure wherw we are swimming i think its a lake though.

adelaide was my first time interstate alone i went by coach this time im flying i've never flown cept wehn we came to oz but i was a little kid then. so it will be another new experience for me.

Hells bells ... you're flying in! Please don't be put off Canberra when you arrive, as the roads around the airport are a bit of a shambles at present, with lots of road works a happenin'. I'll get onto the chief foreman out there tomorrow (so to speak), and see if he can hurry along the procedure a bit, so it'll be looking ship shape for your arrival.

Sounds like you'll be having a full on time when you're here ... but a catch up is a must.

My vote for the lake that you'll be splashing around in would be Lake Burley Griffin.
staypuff

Plenty of time for catching up its why im arriving thursday so i have time to do everything i plan
