Arriving in Singapore - First Race for 2009

This video was supposed to be uploaded yesterday but the Internet access here is a little more difficult to get too. I am here in Singapore to start my 2009 racing season. I am very much looking forward to a tough, hard race in very hot humid conditions. We selected Singapore as a race venue this year as we have made some big changes to my pre-season training and wanted to start our season much later. The choice of events for us were about racing in very hot, humid conditions in our early season events. Singapore was perfect for this. Next week I will race in Hawaii, and the week later in New Orleans. I will then fly to China to do an event in mid April. The feedback and the information we will obtain from doing these events will be key in our preparations for later in the year and our Kona block.

As it turned out, Singapore is a stacked field. The arrival at the airport was a big buzz with the media. I have a German film crew following me for most of this season and filming a documentary on my season and preparations. I have uploaded here a snippet of some of their filming. The film crew have labeled the project Macca09 and I will have access to lots of their footage that I hope to upload on my new site. YouTube will also have a lot of this footage before the final film will be released next year.

Enjoy

Macca it is wonderful to host you in Singapore. I met you yesterday after your talking to the group of young triathletes. I am in awe of you and think that you are such a nice man.

I cannot believe that you are the best athlete in the world. You are so nice and helpful with your time and to talking with us for so long. I love your smile.

We hope you win in Singapore and please race more times here. You have many fans and everyone loves you in Singapore. You are a legend.

Good Race

You need to tell people about your Twitter blog. Is that you or a fake one?!

Hey Macca,

I'm so glad you and Crowie are here in Singapore and we get to watch you guys live. I've been watching you guys race in Kona (you vs Stadler in 2006 was great stuff, you crossing the line in 2007 was inspirational!) on youtube for the past couple of years, so to finally have you guys here is pretty cool. Have a great race - I'm rooting for you!
