Switzerland... Gigathlon

My sis coming around for her fourth
and final lap on day two.

So I arrived in Geneva on the 2nd July at some ungodly hour... then tried to stay awake till the next morning to catch the 5.11 train to where I would hook up with Annette (my younger sister for those not in the know) who was in a team entered in the epic (for me) gigathlon 2011. she participated in a team of 5 (this is their fourth year), 1 of over 923 teams (that started, 792 finished) taking part in the gigathlon (www.gigathlon.ch) which runs over two days and five disciplines - road bike, inline skating, mountain bike, swimming and running. Currently they are number 99 out of the lot - what rockstars!!!!

This is the lake they swam in on day 1.
four laps = 3km.

Anyhow, back to me :) I don't think I've walked as far as I have in the last few days since doing the Fish River Canyon a few years ago... but i've had a great time trying to get to wherever i need to, to try and get to where my sister is, or where her team needs support. This event has been amazing and if i had to liken it to anything in South Africa, i could only come up with the Cape Epic, even though that is a one discipline event. The logistics are pretty amazing!!!
