I googled 'things to do before you die' and I came up with a few good websites.
http://thetravelersnotebook.com/activity-guide/50-things-to-do-before-you-die/ - This site is pretty good as they've picked out 50 large items to go.
http://www.thingstodo.oncelife.com.au/ - This site is good as well and it's actually a site for an insruance company but it's still a good list. It's relatively aussie.
This website is my favourite: http://www.squidoo.com/100things - it's got an extensive list of 370 items which you can choose to make a list of things to do. It'll help with creating more of a bucket list which is what I'm off to do. Once I'm done, you'll hear about it!

My Big Day - BRW/BP Ultimate Triathlon
It's always a bit daunting when you approach a fenced area on a field that has been put aside for 5,200 bikes - one for you and another for the other 5, 199 people who are about to take part in the biggest triathlon in the southern hemisphere.
As our team - "The Last Legs" arrived on Saturday to register our bikes, I was sure that I was going to freakout and freeze up on Sunday.
On Sunday, I drag myself out of bed at 4am to pick up Simon Beeny and Marcus Jurey - the other esteemed members of my team and we make our way to Elwood for what looks to be an awesome day. Simon takes off for his swim at 7.30am and once that happens, I've got no choice but to harden myself up and get ready for my go next.
It feels all a bit weird as Marcus wrote my race number down my arms with a black sharpie. I feel a bit like a fraud cause I'm not really a triathlete. But anyway, Simon makes it to the transition line in once piece in under and hour and then I am off. Dashing to the beach for my swim, sprinting back to the bike coumpund to complete my bike leg and finally the run. I struggle with the run, all puffed out and sore from the previous two legs. But, nonetheless, I make it to the finish, without waddling according to Tim and Bryn who were my cheer squad as I run into the transition to hand of the Marcus to finish off our team's participation in this grand event.
In retrospect, it was an awesome experience, and one that I will hopefully repeat next year. If it was with the same time it'd be awesome, if not, as long as I have a team, I won't be complaining. Till next year, where I'll aim to finish in under and hour so I won't feel like too much of a TRYathlete, here are some photos I have to share.

My favourite photo where you can see 5,200 participants waiting to enter the bike compound to collect their bikes at the end of the race.
