Macca going to Europe

From a June 7th entry on his site:

I am in Australia for about 1 week before flying up to Europe to compete in the UK Half Ironman and then do the Quelle Roth Challenge again. This should be a tough Ironman but is one of my favorite races in the World.

I am really looking forward to getting back to Germany and having a hit out again. I will take about 1 month off again after Roth before focusing my entire attention on Ironman Hawaii success again.

I am really motivated this year to be successful in Hawaii and with a new racing suit designed specifically for hot humid weather, I am really eager to get back out on the Queen K Hawaii and put together a solid race.
