Day 23 - Race Day
Sunday 30th August 2009. We watched the 27th Ironman Canada annual triathlon, waved a sign at Helen's father, relaxed on the beach, felt very unfit while surrounded by athletes, celebrated with beer, a meal and more margaritas in the evening.

Saturday 29th August 2009. We helped Helen's father prepare for his race on Sunday by drinking beer and watching terrible daytime television, joined in the carbo-loading pasta buffet at a local Italian restaurant, took a stroll to the beach to see the start line.
