Shelly, I made it in the blog twice- woo!
Rainer’s training video looks exactly like a bootie camp- drinking raw eggs and everything.

Nice work Shelly.
Really wanted to keep that 1000km swim low key though. Let’s keep it to victory tunnel followed by my quick 20 minutes acceptance speech. Make that 40 minutes if Ted’s joining.
Keen not to divert any attention from the Triple Crown finals.

I think Lainey could borrow the TC cup to be presented at the end of the tunnel and just before the Tiara and speech…. look forward to the video.
p.s. don’t forget special absent friends in the speech:-)
