Adventure to Ironman Australia has begun! I seriously LOVE Aussies already.

My first hour at LAX was spent being kindly “detained and questioned” by Aussie authorities as I was a professional triathlete traveling under a fraudulent (tourist) visa. Lmao! Except it wasn’t very funny at the time bc they were detaining me.

Then, I get a free upgrade to biz class for my 14 hour flight to Brisbane, which—most importantly—comes with 2 free oversized checked bags (my tri bike bag that barely fits in my car & my ginormous 300lb tuna bag, lol).

However, it’s been so long since I’ve flown long Pacific that I forgot that biz class cubbies are even bigger than most California apartments … AND come with free steaks & pinot! 🔥After peak training around 300 bike miles & 50 run miles last week, LFG. How much you got on hand, Addison?!

Everyone is so happy & kind, even in the Qantas lounge. Ima prolly stop in Fiji on the way back, too. Bula bula 😎😂
