We arrived in Perth almost midnight. There was a sizable group of IM participants on the flight. When the customs officers saw our 10 giant bike cases, they simply waved us through. *whew* no need to open up the wheels and luggages for checks. By the time we settled in our apartment, it was 3am. Yawn. Tested my brand new running shoes in the morning in the gym treadmill. Nice, did not have to break them in. We had a late lunch of fish & chips, did some grocery shopping, wandered around King's Park and had dinner at a friend's house. Chicken rice in a foreign land. Bliss. :)

The drive to Busselton took about 3h. We arrived rather late at 12noon & headed straight to the registration tentage. It was a great IM ambience at the IM-Village, with lots of merchandise and athletes milling around. Went to our resort & set up our bicycles. Managed to do a short 45min test ride. Gosh, the winds are free! We went for the athletes' parade and caught the Singaporean group along the way. There was a moment of national pride with the Flag proudly displayed and our anthem being played during the carbo dinner. :)
