Day 2: Started a quick taper today with a half marathon in the sand. Burleigh Beach Pavilion (best bar, food & vibe around) and Surfers Paradise (gorgeous high rises on the beach, but a bit touristy). All smooth, no sore spots or injuries. I feel better than prepared than my last IM, but this bike course has a lot of hills, and the swim is up and down a river (it’s been raining a LOT lately)! 🤪 5 hour drive down the coast to Port Macquarie tomorrow, and 4 days to go until the race! ironmanoceania #ironmanportmacquarie #ironmantraining #goldcoast #burleighheads #burleighbeach #surfersparadise
