Yvonne van Vlerken heading off for Ironman 70.3 New Orleans
When Yvonne, Thomas and I left Frankfurt almost 3 weeks ago, the world was still another one. Yvonne was still optimistic that she had recovered from her bronchitis to be competitive enough for the race, the volcano on Iceland had still not erupted, and there was still no oil film approaching the coast of Louisiana.
The only intermezzo of excitement was that Yvonne and Thomas hadn’t filled out the ESTA form which is obligatory for an entry to the US. But as you can see the problem got solved and we reached New Orleans safely.
